always trying to reach out to are some people through social media so he's
basically allowing people asking questions on youtube and add based on
how popular those questions are actually will decide whether or not how much of
that so the most popular question on youtube to president obama was a video
submitted by does someone that is a board member for the law enforcement
against prohibition organization his name is stephen at downing
and um... again
the video but he basically wants to talk about the war on drugs we actually have
a question for you so let's watch
news mean
i'm a retired became lease from monsters police department
permanent decades of law enforcement bruce i've come to see their country's
growth policies as a failure
a complete waste of criminal justice resources
according to the gallup poll the number of americans who support legalizing
unregulated rwandan mel number of those who support continuing prohibition
what you say to this growing board constituency that once more changes to
drug policy
menu delivered in your first term
all right so simple question as i mentioned it was the most popular back
question on you too
and regardless of how popular wasn't regardless of how much people want to
know bob led to at least mentioned the issue
he refused to talk about it
summits even more egregious is the fact that normal which is also an anti i a
probation organization
uh... also posted a video on utube and basically they were uh... endorsing
marijuana legalization
and it was flat as inappropriate
and removed from youtube
that's ridiculous
yet uh... not the question that you guys just thought this is another video
posted by normal
that not only if it does mean that we don't want a probe marijuana
legalization stories here they've never flight any of that
so that's an interesting out liar but what what's more interesting is
president obama's aversion to this that question
now the first time he said that he would take questions from an online audience
this presidency
again marijuana was the top issue and he did not addressing for most of it and
then at the end and you just kind of price about was that i learned about the
marijuana growers odd
managers
literally laughed it off
the less if there's a reason why it's about one question because it's not a
joke it's serious
a lot of people are being put in jail
for really long time
if and when you told all the numbers as millions of people
for for this nonsense
at you know we told you all the problems the war on drugs and ask this question
is a high-ranking former police officers yet they say it that they will be
preserved for religion in an organization
on it a very important issue and by the way that the majority of americans now
believe that marijuana should be legalized gay medicinal marijuana is
nearly three-quarters of the country saying you should be legalized
answer the question now other parts of the press conference are trying to say
the google plus meeting that he did
we're pretty good you know he had some alternates and downs
for him to kiss instantly nor that issue is
and going to say the least but you know mama
it said that he might or not
or might not agree with you i remember by the result model also smoke pot
as the president yes i think that's the most relevant point here because he has
experienced marijuana first ten so he knows that it should not be a class a
drug
something that uh... you know people spend time in prison for right so and
tumi i'd feel like if you have smoked weed and you know that it's harmless and
you have the actual ability to propose legislation or pass legislation that
stops unlike this crazy process of throwing people behind bars
criminalizing people who are just smoking weed or have to session a week
and you're not doing anything about it just isn't you have no conscience you
have to do something about who can least addressing but what's ironic of course
is that
he doesn't usually about it
because of that same exact resist this if he said hey let's legalize marijuana
or wed
anyway he would never say that but it give you an anywhere near that direction
about was a great deal of course
is a black man talking about legalizing marijuana at the smoke marijuana
you know how it's and
so and looked given if what you know how i am i'd steamroller i'd like to get you
know what i'm talking about legalizing marijuana
because of the joint ventures with the issue of and he received reports of
nixon shrouded that tells you all it back in the day have been reports by the
way
under my administration which they also very does that say that is not harmful
it should be legalized
but president one of those are all that way
right and you know it's just heroes
the on the other direction whenever there's a finding runs for
it's not only the fight looking it goes beyond the fight it's the number of
people who make money off the war on drugs he doesn't want to get involved in
that drama and
you know he's he's not a strong president when it comes to these issues
if somebody else lime juice said
you know we used to think no drama of armament like
alone doesn't want the leaks in the internal conflicts and that was a good
thing
it turns out no drama obama just means i don't want to do with the drama it like
like he doesn't he doesn't like conflict so
he runs away from internal problem is i don't want contradictions of the jobs
make america that
and he was actually one of our viewers on you to do that
i think i'll honestly unfortunately it's a pretty good point
