I think it&#8217;s something to do with class. A lot of people have accused Obama of class warfare, but in the wrong direction. I believe this is Obama chortling with Jimmy Fallon about lower class people. Do we believe, even for a second, that if Obama had been busted for marijuana &mdash; under the laws that he condones &mdash; would his life have been better? If Obama had been caught with the marijuana that he says he uses, and &#8216;maybe a little blow&#8217;&#8230; if he had been busted under his laws, he would have done hard f*cking time. And if he had done time in prison, time in federal prison, time for his &#8216;weed&#8217; and &#8216;a little blow,&#8217; he would not be President of the United States of America. He would not have gone to his fancy-a** college, he would not have sold books that sold millions and millions of copies and made millions and millions of dollars, he would not have a beautiful, smart wife, he would not have a great job. He would have been in f*cking prison, and it&#8217;s not a god damn joke. People who smoke marijuana must be set free. It is insane to lock people up.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Partial transcript from the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.huffingtonpost.com\/2012\/05\/21\/penn-jillette-slams-obama-drug-policy-states-rights-video_n_1533004.html\" target=\"_blank\">Huffington Post<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What troubles me about this&#8230; I think it&#8217;s beyond hypocrisy.
