Did Bill lower the morality bar?

I heard Obama talking. He sounds like he is still on crack. Maybe he is not, I don't know. He just sounds like to me. For example, this is one of his statements: "I do not know the ways this government works. I only know that it must change!" Holy crap. :) If you don't know the ways this government works, how in the world are you going to cange it ?! I understand most, if not all, of the elected presidents never had a clue about how the governments suppose to function. But at least they were smart enough not to admit that publicly in front of all the potential voters! lol ;)

Bush and Gore admitted to marijuana use, Bush has been tied to cocaine use. Making stuid decisions (and then growing from them) as a youth is a proud american tradition.
The real tragedy in the drug war, is the disconnect between what is undestood in the halls of power and what is perceived and thus politically possible with the citizenry.

He did it when he was young, he admits what he did was wrong and he sure is a good example of how getting off drugs can improve your life. He is a great anti-drug spokesman. What more can you want from a guy, geez...
And don't forget...there are many people close to young Bush who say that Bush liked the white himself, he just won't admit anything b/c he is a liar, and does not dig self-accountability.

Just because someone has used/tried a drug, doesn't mean they are still users/abusers of that drug. Before you start bashing Obama, how many people in politics today has ever done cocaine/marijuana? How many politics today actually have the "marbles" to admit to it?
Just because someone admits to something, doesn't mean they are the only one. Remember the old saying "Don't ask, don't tell."
I'm not sure if we should elect Obama or not, let's wait a few more months before we decide that.

What people did in the past typically stays in the past, and if you're in a political office running for presidency, odds are you're not going to be using any drugs unless they're prescription or OTC.
A lot of people try stuff out when they're younger, then it catches up to them at a later date. They're not in the wrong to try it, though.

Well, well, well, why is it that when people are honest about themselves it backfire? I myself am Republican, do you have any idea the things that goes on in congress and the white house.? Just because you do not know about it does not mean it does not exist. God bless any person running for public office who tell the truth about themselves. Show me one person who has no skeletons in the closet.

Talk about the pot calling the kettle black, look at Bush's past for god's sake, your point is null.

You just need to look at the Oval Office now. That is your answer.

Holier than thou people such as you should not vote for him lest you be cast in Hell and damnation. But all sane and rational people will.
