Yeah, but his campaign has said that he no longer believes in decriminalizing marijuana afaik. And at one of the debates, he agreed with the notion that marijuana should not be decriminalized.

That's fine by me, I'd rather he play it safe. I feel he is a much better candidate than McCain and a slightly better one that Hilary, so I'd prefer that he massages the masses and takes the safe road. I don't care if he decriminalizes, I don't think he'd get support from Congress on that anyway. I don't think the world is ready for decriminalization, and it would only add to the ammunition of obnoxious pundits who will ramble on about how terrible drugs are (probably loudest of all from Rush Limbaugh, fucking idiot).

I think we'll need at least another 15-20 years before people realize that decriminalizing marijuana is the best way to go. Of course, I'm sure they thought that back in the 70s...

After hearing his preacher on Fox news delivering a sermon of hate and knowing that Barak Obama has been listening to him for 20 years, I'm voting for whoever is running against him.
Here is a clip of the preacher..... It's said you'e known by the company you keep. This is a sample of Obama's company.

I am voting for him regardless. I cannot handle another George Bush President.

Back on subject...

Obama said, "If prescribed by Doctor, he will stop the raids on MM users."

Does that mean it will be nationwide if prescribed?

So you're going to vote for someone who hangs with racists...thats good to hear.
The man is going to say what ever is needed to get elected. You can decide to listen to his little snippets of far off promises or you can choose to see him for what he really is.....just another worthless politician. He changes colors to match the crowd he's with.

....And here it comes...

He is not a racist. Descended from a white American mother and black Kenyan father.. Not to mention, that he was only raised by his mother. His father left him when he was 2 years old. I highly doubt that he has grown up to hate the color of his own mothers skin.

Seriously, is this the best you can do against Obama? Do you have a thing or two to say about an American flag lapel while you're at it?

So Obama's preacher is a little radical. Is that supposed to worry us? I agree with some of his sentiment, that there is a blow-back coming from certain international affairs we get into. Obama himself said that he regards Wright as "that uncle who says things you don't always agree with" or whatever. Spin this all you want, but I am not impressed.

Furthermore, McCain isn't exactly innocent of changing his political colors like a chameleon to suit the voters' attitudes, either.

I've seen and talked to alot of people of mixed heritage and they are always trying to prove they're "black enough" and the way they do it is by hating on the white culture. Yes, I know, they are also hating on themselves when they do it.
BTW....if it had been McCain's preacher talking about white power or some other racist crap, it would be all over the news.

Yeah true.

It is true, that racism exists. By a guy who just goes to church and his preacher says it...Not him(But, considering Obama did say he was like an Uncle).

So you're saying that all the members of the Jimmy Swaggar church believed in rape?

Are you saying he's an Under Cover racist just by going to a public church? Not to mention that White people go to that church as well.

You're known by the company you keep. He has been going to this church for 20 years and I'm sure this isn't the first time this preacher has used his pulpit to spread racial hate. Obama says this preacher is his spiritual guide. I'd sure like to know in what direction he has been guiding him.
