Did Obama use and sell drugs in his youger days?

bloodshotbuddah

No he didnt sell drugs, he used crack but he never sold or made drugs of any kind (I do my research before I vote)

Who M

He admitted to trying them as a youth but not selling them.

He admitted trying drugs when he was young, nothing more serious though. I'm surprised by his honesty, I doubt most politicians would be as honest with their past.

WHO CARES ABOUT WHAT HE DID AS A KID, HES NOT A KID ANYMORE. EVERYONE SMOKED A LIL POT IN THERE YOUNGER DAYS!

BONGS not BOMBS

he admits, "i inhaled frequently"...so yes he smoked weed but i don't know about selling

Tink

Yes, he said he smoked marijuana in high school. He's tried coke, but turned down heroin. He says that he isn't the first in office to do drugs, but he is the first in office to be honest about it. Which I believe is very true.

yas

why would you care.. i dont think obama cares what you did in Your younger days!

Omg you need to look into how many former presidents have been raging alcoholics before asking yourself if this matters. Just because it's legal doesn't mean its not a drug... and just because you come from a rich family that can hide the story doesn't mean it's not illegal...

I've heard stories of W. doing blow... and not from smear campaigns either...

Mickchaaya

Probably, but why does it matter?

Jacqueline A

He did use drugs. As far as I know he did not sell them.

He is very open about this subject in his books.

Hope this isn't someone's only reason for voting one way or the other!

betotron don

yup

AMD's keeping it close!

Yeah, the same media reports that say he's a Muslim terrorist. Republicans will give credence to anything. Hey guess what? I read somewhere that John McCain is really an alien that has a ship orbitting the earth ready to nuke it! I think I saw it on CNN, oh wait, no, I read it in the Star.. or was that the Enquirer.... Anyway, I'm sure it's true. He's an alien and Sarah Palin is really a sasquatch who found a razor in Alaska one day. I'm sure that's also true, can you help me get to the bottom of these outlandish ideas?

kjason93

No his roommate in college did it was mentioned in CNN however Obama dodges it

Vote for a Change Obama/biden 08

Pirate King

He may well have done so. If so, I don't think it's a valid reason not to vote for the man; there are plenty of poor decisions people make when they're young and stupid that they wish they hadn't done when they get older.

Now if he were using and selling *right now,* that would be a different issue.

Rebel Yell

Huh? Though doubtful...what were you doing 30 years ago?

aSTie c

I don't know.
but I think he didn't.

WELL if we believed ALL THE LIES AND BULLCRAP the Mccain campaign has feed up we all would still be throwing up for days.Are you trying to be funny on the slide,because I dont like to even address racist ppl.But if you are not blind you should have been noticed by now that mccain ENTIRE campaign is not about what he is going to do as President or laying out 1 single plan or proposal.No his ENTIRE campaign has been lies and attacks on Obama.That is the main reason Mccain is behind and LOSING.wHO wants a President that wants to keep America divided and the rich rich.Not me or the rest of MIDDLECLASS America.WE ARE FED UP AND THE LIES ON OBAMA HAVE NOT WORKED ALL THIS TIME AND WILL NOT WORK.THEY ONLY PUSH THE UNDECIDED OUR WAY towards a POSITIVE change.We have suffered enough under Bush.Mccain and the rest of them better wake up because this time,ITS GOING TO TAKE MORE THAN BEING OLD AND WHITE TO GET IN THE WHITEHOUSE THIS TIME.WE NEED A LEADER and not one who voted with Bush 90% of the time.Stick to the facts and stop feeding into the lies.
