OBAMA (KIND OF) INVITES ME TO RUN FOR PRESIDENT
It’s obvious that Obama hates his job and wants to get his ass handed to him by Mitt Romney in 2012. Only a politician who wanted to lose his next election would shoot himself in the foot as many times as he has. Let’s go over just how badly this man wants to get out of his current gig as commander-in-chief of the dying empire:
- First, he takes office with a shitload of momentum behind him, and uses it to push through his bizarre healthcare plan which is going to take our tax dollars and hand them over to health insurance companies.
- Next, instead of closing Guantanamo (as promised during the campaign), he rolls over to the Republicans and keeps it open.
- Also, instead of pulling out of Iraq and Afghanistan (never promised, but hoped for by the majority of his supporters), he simply moved 50,000 troops from Iraq to Afghanistan. I wonder how many soldiers regrettably thought to themselves “It can’t possibly get any worse than this” while patrolling the dusty streets of Baghdad only to find themselves picking up dismembered body parts on the streets of Kabul three months later?
- Oh yeah, and then he actually sent us into a third war in Libya. America, fuck yeah.
Other items on his list of monumental failures include: rolling back EPA regulations, extending the Bush tax cuts for the rich in some insane horse trading with the right-wing fascists in Congress, imprisoning people who leak documents showing all the nasty shit our government has been up to, and just outright killing other American citizens without a trial.
So what’s latest on this list? Perhaps you’ve heard, but the Federales just announced that they aim to take down medical marijuana in the Golden State. Perhaps Obama thinks that nothing will give the U.S. economy the shot in the arm it needs more than shutting down hundreds of legitimate businesses throughout the state that employ tens of thousands of people. Or, more likely, his goal is to piss off yet another group of his supporters, thus assuring his self-destruction in the 2012 election.
The question remains: what the hell happened to this guy? He was so cool. Bring him back and get rid of the zombie who wastes our money on the Wars on Terror and Drugs.
Of course, I suppose the silver lining in Obama’s latest move is that it gives a much-needed boost to my fledgling campaign for the presidency. After all, shutting down the dispensaries in California will disillusion hundreds of thousands of Obama supporters and drive them into the tender embrace of the Ed Rosenthal for President campaign. This may come across as crass opportunism, but I pledge right here and right now to allow the dispensaries in California to stay open. I’ll go one step further (I know this is going to be a huge shock to you all, and, by the way, kudos to you for making it this far into the blog post!) and vow that as president I will END MARIJUANA PROHIBITION!
So, thank you, Mr. President, for coming to my assistance and providing me with yet another reason to run for the presidency of this great nation. Your unwillingness to act rationally and in a sane manner may end up forcing me to run in the upcoming election.
KEEP AMERICA GROWING! ED ROSENTHAL 2012!
I just can’t for the life of me understand WTF is going on. Why fuck with the economy in this way? Why destroy these jobs? The War on drugs has failed long ago. Where is the Obama that wanted to move forward? Where is the Obama that I voted for? , and now I feel like a sucker. DON’T STEP ON THE GRASS, SAM!!!

WE PETITION THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION TO:
Demand an Amendment to the U.S. Constitution to End
Marijuana, Marihuana, Cannabis and Hemp Prohibition.
We the People of the United States of America
Demand an Amendment to the United States Constitution
to End Prohibition of Marijuana, Marihuana, Hemp and Cannabis
because we have a
Right to Equal Protection Under the Law
to NOT be prosecuted and punished
for for growing, harvesting, farming,
using, smoking, selling, manufacturing,
brewing and bottling substances
and products which are
equally as dangerous
or LESS dangerous
than other legal products and substances
such as alcoholic beverages
and tobacco products,
as used and sold to adults age 21 and over.
The government has entrapped Americans
by concealing criminal penalties
under Title 21 USC
rather than listing them under Title 18 Crimes.
Also, the government spells marijuana
and marihuana
two ways in the law to conceal penalties.

President of the United States of America,

The petition below,
was submitted by “Erik A” and is promoted by NORML
but it does not have any “demands”.
We petition the Obama Administration to
Legalize and Regulate Marijuana in a Manner Similar
to Alcohol.
We the people want to know when we can have our
“perfectly legitimate” discussion
on marijuana legalization.
Marijuana prohibition
has resulted in the arrest of over
20 million Americans since 1965, countless lives
ruined and hundreds of billions of tax dollars squandered
and yet this policy has still failed to achieve its stated
goals of lowering use rates,
limiting the drug’s access,
and creating safer communities.
Isn’t it time to legalize and regulate marijuana in a manner
similar to alcohol?
If not,
please
explain why you feel that the continued criminalization
of cannabis will achieve the results in the future that
it has never achieved in the past?

Nothing happened to this guy; he is the same bullshitter that campaigned. He has never done any else but. To think that many people believed his shit to begin with baffles me. He is all, and nothing else but, talk. He makes promises continually without any action to ever back them. If he gets in for another 4 years, without the posiblities of another elcetion phase, wtf is he going to do with himself-i bet write a book that he can go on a selling tour using tax dollars to fund. He campaigned on and took over the shitty job Bush did and made it worse. he kept the same policies and expanded them. He immediately paid back Wall St for all the contributions made to his campaign and continued to help things fall appart. Complete and utter failure!
I take college course and therefore have a college email address. The DEA is on a heavy hiring spree and canvasing on all the campuses. Like any other business, they want to grow. With their main source of income being fed funding, they just hire more, increase their portion of the budget and make our freedoms less. This adminstration is just growing the police state and the leader has no idea what is going on in any department. Great 60 minutes interview a few weeks ago; every question to Obama was lead by, “You are failing at this….why?”
While Dems are usually more prone to support MM, we cannot let them get re-elected. The choices may not be much better but at least Reps are ‘supposed’ to be pro business and smaller gov’t; we may stand a chance. Get rid of this clown while we can!!
