Senator Barack Obama (D-Ill.) said he once used marijuana and cocaine.
Obama wrote about his past drug use in his memoir, "Dreams of My Father," published after he finished law school.
Now, he's thinking of running for President in 2008.
Obama will now be filing papers to create an exploratory committee to investigate a possible presidential bid. He wants to become President, to become one of the most powerful men in the United States and, perhaps, the world.
Look at the "Help Wanted" section of any major newspaper in the United States and you'll see that a majority of potential employers state that a drug test and/or backround check will be required prior to being considered for employment.
In other words, if you've been using illegal drugs and/or have a criminal past that shows you once did and/or you admit, during the interview, that you once used illegal drugs, they do not want you and they will not hire you (unless the manager happens to be a family friend/member).
