Drinking and fatherhood
And I was thought that they went hand in hand. But in which order?
The late Marxist activist Frank Marshall Davis, frequently accompanied by young Barack Obama and his grandfather Stanley Armour Dunham, sold marijuana and cocaine from a "Chicago style" hot dog cart Davis operated near his home on Kuhio Avenue in Waikiki in the early 1970s,
Obama also admitted in his autobiography that in his first two years in college at Occidental he was involved with drugs: "I blew a few smoke rings, remembering those years. Pot had helped and booze; maybe a little blow when you could afford it."
Dubya was also a drug user, as well as alcoholic. Do you think that had anything to do with his being AWOL in Alabama while middle class American boys were fighting and dying in Vietnam, or was that just arrogance and the sense of entitlement that comes with having wealthy parents?
Drug use was such a common occurance among baby boomers and later generations, that it probably should no longer determine fitness for office unless it continues into the present, or has resulted in arrests.
Dubya did not hang around people dedicated to destroying the USA and replacing the government with a dictatorship. Where is your proof Bush did drugs by the way? Obama admits drug use in his book and blames "the white race" for it which is about a racist a statement as I've ever read.
Are you implying that Obama DID hang around with people dedicated to destroying the USA and replacing the government with a dictatorship? Where's YOUR evidence? And what drug are you on?

It is unfortunate that you have been misinformed by propagandists masquerading as journalists. That myth was attributed to an anonymous source. Please note that faux journalists, such as those who write for wnd, do not comply with the Code of Ethics of the Society of Professional Journalists (http://www.spj.org/ethicscode.asp).
A painstakingly documented analysis of similar falsehoods is posted as "specific misrepresentation" at http://my.barackobama.com/page/community/post/Kaleokualoha/gGxdvX. I invite any person of integrity to refute my evidence against that body of lies.

I want the seven minutes of my life back I spent reading this. On the other hand I get a chuckle anytime anyone mentions Ted Haggard.
Andre you can get a job in the Hotel/Motel industry all the meth you want all the rooms to clean
I may be completely out of the social loops necessary to understand all this, but why is America so spellbound by the antics of celebrities? I'm sorry they (or anyone else) screw up their lives or have them screwed up by a spouse or anyone else but other than that compasionate human side of me.....who cares?
