with the administration. No one likes being treated like a stupid child, and here the public has to just suck it up and go along with the stupid corrupt program, and it is wrong.

I think we should hold the President's feet to the fire on this issue because he is wrong on this issue. I support the President, but respectfully and profoundly disagree with his drug policy.
