News Americas, NEW YORK, NY, Fri. Aug. 1, 2014: There is so much to choose from each week in deciding which Barack Obama failure to highlight in each issue of Obama’s America because his entire existence is filled with Bull Shit and Hypocrisy.
This week I’m turning to an aspect of our New York Times partner in Obama’s America normally ignores their editorial page often full of bluster best worth ignoring but not last Sunday. They made perfect sense!
The editorial well titled: “Repeal Prohibition, Again.”
That’s right in its lead editorial in its ‘all important’ Sunday mega-issue that you needed two hands to carry before the Internet freed us of paper excess this is what those who control the NY Times wrote …
“It took 13 years for the United States to come to its senses and end Prohibition, 13 years in which people kept drinking, otherwise law-abiding citizens became criminals and crime syndicates arose and flourished. It has been more than 40 years since Congress passed the current ban on marijuana, inflicting great harm on society just to prohibit a substance far less dangerous than alcohol.”
So guess who remains America’s # 1 opponent of legal marijuana you got it The Hypocrite in Chief former upper middle class youthful Hawaiian Pot Head Barack Obama. See how all that marijuana destroyed his life. Well maybe ours but it led him to The White House. Not bad at all for a Pot Head.
Let’s get some more from the Times editorial ….
“The social costs of the marijuana laws are vast. There were 658,000 arrests for marijuana possession in 2012, according to F.B.I. figures, compared with 256,000 for cocaine, heroin and their derivatives. Even worse, the result is racist, falling disproportionately on young black men, ruining their lives and creating new generations of career criminals.”
You are right time for one of our patented ENCORES …
“Even worse, the result is racist, falling disproportionately on young black men, ruining their lives and creating new generations of career criminals.”
And another ENCORE …
“Even worse, the result is racist, falling disproportionately on young black men, ruining their lives and creating new generations of career criminals.”
So you might expect President Barack Obama to be opposed to a racist law that destroys the lives of Black Americans very disproportionately.
You’d be surprised only if you have been in another universe since 2009. Our President Obama is Black in skin color only otherwise he is as White as any of our other Presidents. What has Obama done for African Americans as President that any White Democrat would not have done NOTHING.
As for having the courage to come out in favor of legalizing marijuana as though it requires courage to favor what the majority of Americans favor, for Barack Obama courage is a Dirty Word not his vocabulary.
And let’s not forget for a moment until very recently Obama had his Justice Dept. savaging those involved in states that have passed laws allowing marijuana use. He did not care many states now say it is ok to use marijuana even under limited circumstances. It did not deter Obama from wasting billion of dollars in federal funds while destroying thousands of lives continuing to pursue those involved with marijuana in those states.
Let’s go to the end of the Times editorial ….
“We recognize that this Congress is as unlikely to take action on marijuana as it has been on other big issues. But it is long past time to repeal this version of Prohibition.”
No we don’t have to worry about the feckless .U .S. Congress that boozes it up in splendor and that subsidizes tobacco growing and gives tax breaks to cigarette companies – legalizing marijuana because we have a President even more opposed then the brainless members of Congress are.
The national prohibition of alcohol by the U.S. government back in the early 20th century is arguably the worst U.S. policy in history only exceeded by slavery. But the problems crated by the Prohibition of alcohol are nowhere as bad as the damage being done by criminalizing marijuana. But if nothing else even in a racist age early in the 20th century you could not refer to that Prohibition as racist as The Times does U.S. marijuana policy today.
Racism aside we return back to the days of that other Prohibition it had the same kind of enforcement zeal we see by law enforcement toward marijuana today coupled with endless hypocrisy. Back then the well off drank as much liquor as they wanted and it didn’t destroy their wealth or life styles while enforcement was targeted toward the less fortunate same as with pot today.
Of course liquor Prohibition created a huge criminal enterprise just as illegal marijuana today makes drug cartels rich while making many streets in poorer neighborhoods dangerous where the illegal marijuana industry is.
And what exactly has happened since America repealed the Prohibition of liquor in 1933 after 13 disastrous years of illegal liquor in the United States. America has grown far richer, prosperous and more powerful than it ever was during Prohibition. Yet Barack Obama continues to crusade for the continued Prohibition of marijuana. God save us from Barack Obama !
Yes the Obama White House has responded to the New York Times editorial and that response is as ridiculous as we would expect …
First here is what The Times says about The White House reply ..
“Careful readers will immediately see the White House statement for what it is: A pro forma response to a perceived public relations crisis, not a full-fledged review of all the scientific evidence, pro and con.”
Are you ready for this next message – you should be it comes from our Hypocrite in Chief … as The Times explains nicely ….
“Besides, it is hypocritical for the White House, whose chefs brew beer for the president, to oppose legalizing marijuana, which poses far less risk to consumers and society than does alcohol. Two recipes for the White House brew are posted on its website under the headline “Ale to the Chief.”
That is right “Ale to the Chief” on The White House Website !
No what I am not going to bother or waste your time reprinting the BS objections to legalizing marijuana coming from Obama. If you want you can find that nonsense all over the Internet and right on The New York Times Website. My time and your time is too valuable here.
Let me sum up the entire issue more succinctly than anyone else …
If liquor is not illegal there is no basis making marijuana illegal.
End of story.
No matter what the hypocrite in The White House says.
AKA former Hawaiian Pot Head Barack Obama.
