I'm not paraphrasing. That's the headline.

President Obama addressed the idea of taxing and regulating marijuana ... His words: “No, I don’t think that is a good strategy to grow our economy.” Clearly, he got that wrong... The moderator who was reading questions submitted via whitehouse.gov, raised the topic. His answer was prefaced with the recognition that this was a “fairly popular question.” Actually, it was the most popular question, by far. Yet the president failed to treat it with the same thoughtfulness awarded to other topics. The entirety of his response is below (yes, it’s only 53 seconds long). Do you think he handled it fairly?

I'm in two minds about this particular debate, so I won't offer an opinion about the rights and wrongs of it. What I find amusing is the way hardcore Obamarites are suddenly finding that the changemeister isn't quite what they thought they were voting for. The comments are also interesting. I've excerpted a small selection:
This to me is a sign of ignorance or perhaps a person the enjoys others suffering. In either case I take offense to this display of disrespect to the majority of free Americans.

The whole Change.org thing was Obama's idea, his baby and he laughingly blows of a huge number of voters

Way to blow off the question and insult the online crowd that got you into office Obama.

I actually cried when I heard the dismissive answer

ONE WORD, REVOLUTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No change, no hope.

I started supporting financially the Obama push even before his presidential campaign got going. Having read his books, listened to his podcasts, and heard him speak a few times i had so much hope... Your uneducated, belittling, half-assed reply to the multitude of cannabis legalization questions was appalling.

Obama you are the joke and I wish I was in a another life in another country cause this one is f****d and its gonna get worse

betrayed, sad, insulted, rage... what negative emotion didn't I feel after seeing that?

This is at Change.org!!!
