Well, Republicans accepted cocaine user alcoholic Bush, so what's the problem?
BTW, have you heard that people who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones?

How many stupid questions are you going to ask about this?
Why do Republicans ignore Bush's cocaine use and not getting a grip on his alcoholism until his 40's?
Obama used drugs casually as a young man and has been very honest about it, which shows many young people that they too can rise above drug use. Our last two Presidents have experience with drugs, so I'm failing to understand the relevance of your question, they were accepted readily enough. Clinton was sort of cute with the "I didn't inhale thing." Bush refuses to answer whether he did cocaine in his partying days. If the answer was no, he could SAY no couldn't he? So we can take that to the bank. Bush also is an alcoholic who didn't get a grip on his addiction until he was in his 40's.
Obama's honesty resonates more highly with people than his past casual drug use, that is obvious. I guess he understands that no matter what their standing in life, the great majority of Americans know someone in their family or circle of friends that has smoked pot, or had a run with casual drugs in college and has also risen above it. He engages the every day family with this honesty about his drug use and he is counting on their intelligence to understand and accept it. It appears they have by his continued support.

Don't you get the hint when everyone is bashing you and no one comes to defend your position that your argument is completely flawed?
Even the Obama haters aren't supporting you. It must be a bit depressing for you. I'm sure you were expecting to log in to Yahoo Answers and see all of these Republicans and conservatives chiming in agreeing with you, only to find that everyone thinks you are completely ignorant of our past U.S. Presidents' drug use.
You might want to read up on U.S. political history before you post any more questions in the Politics and Govt section.

Bush was an alchoholic coke head and clinton did not inhale, apparently the mud slinging tactic does not work for drug abuse. Mayor of DC had coke and hookers, on camera. You're going to need to find a new way to shock the audience.

I would prefer someone who is honest about their past drug use than someone who tries to cover up all their skeletons by lying and false righteousness. It is refreshing to have someone throw all their cards on the table and focus on the real issues.

No we just prefer drugs. What's the matter with you? I bet every candidate has used and abused something in their life time I know I have. Maybe I should run?!!

He hasn't used drugs in twenty plus years, so it is not much of an issue. FYI. drug users don't graduate from Harvard. Good luck at finding many people in our generation who have never done drugs.

You have proof he is using drugs now? Or are you trying to be funny about what he honestly spoke about in 1995 in his first book? A book that was written long before he entered politics.

I have seen no proof of his drug use, but I was away for the last 4 days.

Guess we're stuck with the same kind of candidates as the Republicans.
