Obama says marijuana ‘no more dangerous than alcohol’

101. That wasn't the point...

Because your original intent was to describe 'safe' as the whole country supporting it. A plurality of the country supporting something is not safe - not when nearly the same amount of the country opposed it. But it shouldn't matter when he came out in support of it. The fact he did was monumental and historical, which is often lost on the parsing of whether it was safe or not. Who cares? He did it. Would you rather him not have come out in support of it at all because he apparently only had a small window of opportunity to do so without looking like a political opportunist on some message board?

That's the problem. Instead of giving him credit on something, you turn it around and use it, two years later, as an attack.

The point is that you can't even give him the slightest bit of credit on anything. Even when he does something right.

Hell, I saw more praise for Rob Portman by some DUers when he came out in support of marriage equality than when Obama did it.
