It's more than likely common knowledge now that Barack Obama admitted to using cocaine and pot as a teen. The issue was again brought up this past weekend when Robert Johnson, the founder of BET, snidely referenced this information during an appearance alongside Hillary Clinton. Though he didn't come out and say it outright, it was more than obvious what Johnson was insinuating with his comment. In my opinion, who cares that Obama was once a druguser? Who cares that he made a mistake years ago? It seems to me that the fact Obama himself came clean about this use without the poking and prodding of opposition is testament to his honesty and integrity.
So should we elect a man who has used drugs in the past? This question is ridiculous! Shall we judge a person on their past indiscresions or, more appropiately, on the content of their current character? How can we equate druguse that occured more than twenty years ago during Obama's adolescence with actions such as wiretapping, perjury, and adultrey that occured while a president was in office? I think its unbelievable that the Clinton campaign is using this notion as a way to slander the name of a respectable human being. What does that say about their character?
