President Obama is cool. He did drugs, especially marijuana, he drank, he was in a fog for his last two years of high school. (Which may explain much.) We know because he offered testimony in his biography ghost written by unrepentant terrorist, Bill Ayers and he has yucked it up with Jimmy Kimmel, David Letterman, and other cool guys, bragging about, yet minimizing his illegal drug abuse. (Never mind that calling him “cool” according to the Congressional Black Caucus is racist.)
“So what?” argue Mr. Obama’s acolytes, it was years ago.
Well, “What” is that this President cavalierly waves off his “youthful indiscretions” as inconsequential yet he is busy spending vast taxpayer resources to arrest, prosecute, convict, and house “criminals” for precisely the same behavior. Disproportionately they are young men “of color” as opposed to young men of pallor, young men for whom he allegedly has a special sympathy.
One could expect someone in the Mainstream Media to cite the rank hypocrisy, extraordinary social costs, and serious consequences against the weakest among us. But, one would be stupid to do so. Mr. Obama is a “progressive” whose intentions are the measure, not his actions. To criticize him is racist.
