about asking him the marijuana question. But in addition to that, I'd ask him how he is able to put up with all the hostility from conservatives. On the Internet, he constantly has people mocking his name (0bama, Obummer, Obozo, etc.). He gets racial comments all the time. He already has more death threats than any other president. He has Fox News and RW radio lying about him daily. He has the "liberal media" doing all they can to keep him from getting too far ahead of Mitt Rob-me. And he is forced to work with a Republican-majority Congress that has vowed to block his attempts at a 2nd term.
I know if I were in his position dealing with the righties, I may not have even lasted past my 1st month in office without losing my sanity.
