Does Obamas "past drug history" affect your decision?

Question

Im not sure of the deatails as to what he has tired, but does that really matter to anyone?

PS: Obama never denied drug use. He wrote an autobiography explaining everything!!! No denying there!!!

Answer 1

Doesn't matter to me one bit. If he lived his life straight as an arrow it would raise more questions for me. What does affect my decision, is his lack of experience and I don't think he can win. There are still too many people who only see him as black. Then you throw the whole Hussein part in and ignorance will win. Bush got elected twice.

Answer 2

I dont comprehend the place various those got here from yet his assertion reported income tax. in fact each physique have been given a small tax help final 12 months. there are maximum of tax credit now it is the reason 40 seven% of taxpayers did not owe any federal tax, and that's not good. The President would not administration taxation and the federal government would not impose close by and states taxes like some you reported. It calls for a protracted communicate to bypass over each and each and that i'm not doing that. not something in existence is definite different than demise and taxes as somebody as quickly as wrote.

Answer 3

No. If you look at the facts, Obama at least was being honest about his drug use and is trying to influence young people not to start using drugs in the first place. He used drugs as a teenager. What does that have to do with him now that he is a man in his 40's?

Answer 4

Yes. Many of the presidential elections in my lifetime have been to choose the least of all evils. Narcotics use is, IMO, a significant evil even when, as a habit, it has been kicked. His admitted use of illegal substances alone removes him from ever receiving my vote no matter who runs against him when we get down to one per party.

As to the person who said that everyone used drugs in the 1960's or is lying about it, that person has a very skewed worldview. I have never used any illicit drugs and I was in my 20's during that decade.

Answer 5

Makes no difference to me. I wouldn't vote for him anyway. He has no agenda. He got up during the Democratic convention and spewed a few pearls of wisdom, then sat back down and smiled like a chessy cat when people started to jump on his band wagon. He hasn't done or said anything since, that has convinced me he isn't the one we need to run this fouled up country.

Answer 6

Honestly, I'd have to know details. What kinds of drugs? And what kind of "history"? Just trying drugs is one thing--frequent or habitual use is another thing entirely.

If he smoked a few doobies in college, who cares? Even eating some mushrooms I could forgive. But if he was involved with cocaine, meth, or heroin, I would seriously question his character. The sad fact is that I've had a lot of friends get involved with those kinds of drugs and I've learned that certain kinds of people just cannot be trusted.

Answer 7

Not his past drug history or his present flirtations. But his lack of discretion affects. That is not being honest. He has to be serious if he is seeking US Presidency.He can't be a chatter box and a man playing to the gallery.

Answer 8

I think his ideas are what will kill his campaign rather than what he may have done in the past. Many people tried drugs in his generation. It is more important that he isn't currently using drugs.

Answer 9

No, not at all. In fact, if they were honest, the overwhelming majority of candidates would admit to doing drugs illegally, be they prescription or otherwise!!!

Answer 10

Who didn't experiment with drugs in college?! Anyone who says they didn't is probably a liar. I respect Obama's honesty.
