Yes dabbling in witchcraft on halloween is so much worse than when Obama dabbled in marijuana and cocaine.... both of which he admits in his book


To the freaky religious right it should be. Anyway, that cheap shot at Obama was fail, seeing as many people dabbled with drugs when they were younger.

It's not a cheap shot if its true.  And theman88 never said anything negative about Obama in that statement, nor condemned him.  He just compared their similar situations.  In my opinion, it just points out bias of some politicians and some outlets for news.  The drug use of Obama was never really explored by the media or the Dems (though they really tried to bring down Bush with his alleged cocaine use).  It was pretty much passed off for being something stupid someone did in their youth.  Which is fine by me.  But why then go after a woman for something she did when she was a teenager, especially when compared to cocaine use is EXTREMELY mild?  It's really mild when compared to anything. 


The difference is Obama wrote about it his memoirs. It was never meant to be hidden. The cocaine and the stuff with this lady, theyre trying to preach sainthood with shady pasts. I think people are more forgiving than politicians imagine, thats hwy its never been an issue with obama, and thats why when Clinton lied about having an affair, even though it had nothing to do with policy, people were pissed off, and rightly so.
