| If you have been watching Obama address the questions presented at "Open For Questions" He first marginalizes us, saying "I don't know what this says about the online community" *chuckle chuckle* And then instead of formally answering any of our questions which were the top 3 questions, he simply says that legalizing marijuana will not help the economy. Then laughs. There is plenty of evidence that legalizing, taxing, and regulating cannabis will save upwards of $30 billion a year! Fuck you Obama. We are being thrown in cages at unprecedented rates, and then you laugh at us for suggesting that we should no longer be thrown in cages. |

| I feel completely disrespected right now. I can't even begin to explain my disappointment and how upset I am. Mind you, I'm not completely surprised, but still, I had some hope. Why? I dunno. I mean, why not? It's my country too. I really don't appreciate being laughed at though. That's just mean. |

| Lets use our upset emotions and direct them into action. Write all your representatives. Continue to push it in their faces. If we get enough media coverage, eventually reason will win. The more people are exposed to our ideas the more they will realize we are being completely logical and rational. |

| I hope he has a formal address planned. Obviously not, but it'd be a nice apology. I bet damn near most of the people in that room smoke weed. They laughed because they don't want to admit it near the chief official. Let's all laugh, unite, and play games, they said. Efforts must be increased doublefold. Obama won't be able to brush us off that easily. |

| Ya, that simple dismissal took me from thinking Obama was atleast trying to listen to the people, to just being yet another asshole in the whitehouse. |

| The best part is how he didn't specifically read any of our questions, side stepping all the points that he would have had to counter in a response. |

| it just goes to show he is not really listening to us which means he's just looking out for number 1 just because MJ was the major point in most of the questions asked online that still does not give him a right to laugh at us.

| I can't believe he just dismissed all those questions like that! It's not as if they were stupid questions. And why were all those people clapping and cheering his dismissal? |
