THE HYPOCRITICAL OATH

This is just too easy. Barack Obama, President of the United States, whole-heartedly supports the completely failed War on Drugs. In fact, he even escalated swat raids on marijuana users, dealers and dispensaries. That would not be surprising if a sitting President had a strong conviction that illegal marijuana smoking and sales needed to be enforced because it somehow was the duty of the federal government to do so. Taking that conviction a step further, one would suppose that the Commander in Chief never “inhaled” himself. The hypocrisy would be overwhelming, wouldn’t it?

Well, just hold on there Tonto. We are not dealing with the usual, good-hearted President that stands up for his convictions. In fact, I am befuddled to understand just what Obama’s convictions really are.

Although I did more than just dabble in pot smoking in college and there-after for several years, I never learned of the phrase “Choom Gang” until just recently. Chooming is apparently slang for getting high. Ok, now I’m hip. I learned it from someone who was a regular pot-head in college. He smoked in his dorm, he smoked on the beach, and he smoked in vans with other choomers. He was even a pot-smoking, trend-setter. “Total Absorption” was one of his rules he made up for the world of choomer’s pot parties. TA as he called it was where, if you exhaled prematurely while smoking with the Choom Gang, you would miss a turn when the joint came back to you. In other words, this guy was a real leader (in the world of marijuana smoking). Who would have thought that he would someday become the leader of the free world?

So what’s the problem you ask? I’ll answer that question with another question. How would you feel if you were a parent of a child who was incarcerated for six months for getting busted smoking a joint with his buddies knowing that our own President was an early leader in the proper etiquette for blowing weed with his Choom Gang? When Obama took the Oath of Office, he knew full-well that his own hypocrisy of supporting having kids thrown in jail for something he did on a daily basis was staring him in the face.

I knew a few cops in my hometown back in the early 70’s that would get high with their friends when off duty and then go out and bust other people during the day for the same thing. Outrageous, nauseating, shocking and offensive; who are we talking about here, a couple of cops 40 years ago or our current President?

You decide.
