No change in marijuana laws coming, White House says

116. Obama never "wanted to keep the troops in Iraq." He was always against the war.

Your wikipedia link does not dispute that. Sure Bush thought the war would end quickly. Remember when he said it would just be a few months? Then it stretched into years. If McCain had been elected, it would have stretched into decades. And my brother would still not be able to buy health insurance because of his pre-existing condition. And we'd have two more Scalias on the Supreme Court instead of two progressive women. And the U.S. auto industry would be dead. And we'd be in a second Great Depression. And we'd still have DADT.

We did well with Obama. He kept the key promises that he made, except for Guantanamo, which he did try to close, but Congress blocked him. Same thing with immigration reform. He never promised to legalise pot, so I was not expecting change from him on that front. All the folks here who were expecting him to push to legalize pot simply weren't listening to his campaign speeches.
