Everybody talks about President Obama and his broken promises about marijuana, but nobody has gotten him to talk about it.
We tried on Reddit. We tried with petitions. But he wouldn’t say a thing.
Then I realized… this is a job for Old Hippie! So I found a phone booth, hit the vape, manned up, and got him to sit down with me for an interview… Clint Eastwood style.
The problem for Obama is that every time he pisses off the marijuana community, someone like me is going to notice that he’s broken other promises too. So as a public service, here’s a list of five pages of promises that Pulitzer Prize-winning PolitiFact.com found Obama has broken to the American people.
It wasn’t all too long ago that firearms activists, incensed at the Clinton ban on “assault weapons”, organized a massive campaign to kick out every member of Congress that had voted for it. To this day, that November is still known as the “Republican Revolution” in political circles. Two years ago, President Obama experienced the same thing first-hand.
This year, Obama is up for re-election faced with questions from every medical marijuana patient, every recreational marijuana user, and everyone in their families who votes. And as Steph Sherer from Americans for Safe Access says, this year it could be the deciding issue.
So this question goes out to Barack Obama (by way of Quicksilver Messenger Service): “What you gonna do about me?“
