Obama ignores marijuana question at YouTube event

92. That's what I'm hearing from a lot of people...

...I think the President needs to really listen to average people rather than just his political advisers. People don't want to be bullshitted.

People like you are crucial to his re-election effort. If he loses 2 people like you for every 1 new voter he picks up, his margin is going to be a lot tighter than 2008. We should be looking at a landslide, and instead we're looking at eeking out a 2000 type victory. FDR was elected to 4 terms, 1964 was a landslide, Reagan cleaned our clocks in 1984. That's the type of victory we should be looking at, but it's not happening because the President is afraid to gamble on a couple issues. At the very least, we should be looking at Federal backing of medical marijuana right now. That would go a long way with many people. His political team is mismanaging this re-election campaign. If he loses, it ought to be Valerie Jarrett, David Axelrod, and co. that are held to account. Enough with the DLC types.
