Romney was recently asked a question by a man in a wheelchair who wants to legalize medical marijuana. He was asking him a legitimate question and Romney chose to ignore him.

as far a medical marijuana goes, I think it should be legalized (not to the public but for medical purposes) because it is proven as a successful way to treat many ailments.

the question was: will you put me and my doctors in jail for giving me the only drug that is proven to work on ailment?
the question is not: do u want to legalize marijuana?
the thing with listening is this, you have to hear everything the other person says AND comprehend what that person just said.

It makes me feel no different. I never much cared for Romney. On a related note, Ron Paul answered the question from the same guy.

While I do not particularly support Romney, I am impressed that he actually answered the question, rather than pandering to the gentleman as every other candidate would do. The camera man made an attempt to make it seem as though Romney was dodging the issue, but he did answer the question.
The gentleman in the wheelchair, and the cameraman asked if Romney would arrest him. Since when has a president had such authority. This question was obviously posed to attack Romney, not for legitimate debate.

He did not ignore him. He listened intently for 48 seconds. He gave him an honest answer "I'm not in favor of medical marijuana" Regardless if you agree with Romney's position or not you must admit he listened and answered.

he listened to him. I think it is a very interesting video. I wonder if the guy really needs to be in a wheelchair. Looks like a plant to me....funny how someone just happened to be filming too...I think it was the guys friend.

the drug company cartels will never allow it to happen, synthetics are easier and more profitable.
