Twisting President Obama's Words is not the way to solve problems!

or to advance a position.

He doesn't feel that legalizing Marijuana would help the economy.

He didn't say anything about medical Marijuana.
He didn't say anything about decriminalizing Marijuana.

The question was asked and he answered.

You have a right to agree or to disagree.....as long as the scope of your disagreement
is based on what he stated,
and not on what he didn't.

If you want his answer fleshed out more, or you want to ask a different question,
you can reach him here: http://www.whitehouse.gov/contact/

He repeately stated that he would not always tell us what we wanted to hear,
but what he thought we needed to hear. If you didn't hear what you wanted,
well....oh, well....perhaps you should work at a reframe of the question posed,
and ask again, or understand that this President is not going to agree with you
to all that you ask.

1. Thank you, as always.

2. Gibbs just said that President Obama 'opposes the legalization of marijuana'.

So, it's more than just how he feels about marijuana and the economy.

3. I don't see the change in the meaning.

of what Gibbs said and what the President said.

My OP stands.

Yours, in where you claim Obama shitted on everyone is the one that is hyperbole,
as it reads way more into the answers that were given then was required.

4. that doesn't include medical marijuana though

I don't think. He did END the raids on medical marijuana places after all.

5. The new DU outrage of the day?

I guess I'm supposed to be outraged!!!

6. To be honest people started laughing when he mentioned it was the

Number 1 question on line. He chuckled a little with them, and then made a joke about what the question reflected about the people on-line. So he definitely didn't see legalizing Marijuana as a very serious issue.

8. Why was this the number 1 question? Is that really our top priority?

Cause if so, that's not funny; it's sad.

9. He gave a far longer answer to a question about health care. Let's talk about that.
