		<description>Yeah, Stoner, and the sky is blue.  So what?  They aren&#039;t running for president.

And it&#039;s not the alcohol I&#039;m worried about, and maybe not the pot, but for sure the cocaine IS a real problem because of the long term impairment of judgement it can cause even with just a brief episode of &quot;casual&quot; use.</description>

		<description>We weren&#039;t talking about DUI, we were talking about COCAINE... (or is your alzheimers acting up again?)

Alcohol doesn&#039;t rot the brain the way cocaine does.

&lt;blockquote&gt;&quot;More stuff you avoided addressing:

Right back atcha, yawn’n’suck. Document all your accusations against Obama with confessions by him, or shut up.&quot;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

I did address it, and here&#039;s the quote you ignored from my post above...

&lt;b&gt;“Pot had helped, and booze; &lt;a HREF=&quot;http://edstrong.blog-city.com/obama__cocaine_use_a_little_blow_when_i_could_afford_it.htm&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;maybe a little BLOW when you could afford it.&lt;/A&gt; Not smack [heroin] though.” — &lt;em&gt;Barack Hussein Obama, self-confessed drug user! (FROM HIS BOOK)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/em&gt;  

OPEN YOUR EYES, &lt;b&gt;D&lt;/b&gt;ip&lt;b&gt;W&lt;/b&gt;ad!

Hmmm, &lt;/a&gt;this is good, too&lt;/a&gt;.
&lt;em&gt;&quot;..., according to New York Times reviewer Michiko Kakutani, Obama is very &quot;candid about his youthful struggles: pot, booze and &lt;b&gt;&#039;maybe a little blow,&#039;&lt;/b&gt; he wrote, could &#039;push questions of who I was out of my mind,&#039; &lt;b&gt;flatten &#039;out the landscape of my heart, blur the edges of my memory.&lt;/b&gt;&#039;”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/b&gt;

Oh, yeah, he&#039;s flaaaatened &amp; bluuurrrred them, all right!

&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.gdcada.org/statistics/cocaine.htm&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;&quot;BLOW&quot; = COCAINE&lt;/a&gt; (It could have meant pot, if he haden&#039;t already said that, and acknowledged that it cost enough more to limit it&#039;s use to when he had the extra &#039;bread&#039;).

**NOTE: One of the names for cocaine is &quot;berni&quot; according to that link.  I wonder if we could add &quot;barry&quot; to that list?  It would make sense to, after all.

Of course, he MIGHT not have taken it at all, and just be lying.  That would mean that instead of a druggie we get a pathological liar.  That should make everyone feel SOOOO much better.

&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1kYEJNIqS24&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Here&#039;s a little more&lt;/a&gt; on why the O&#039;Bombster is not &quot;the one.&quot;

Finally, I don&#039;t need &quot;confessions&quot; by him for other things for which if I have independent evidence, but in this case I do have his confession WHICH IS REAL EVIDENCE.  But to have to rely on confessions for ALL accusations when I have other solid evidence?  Are you THAT clueless?  (Like I have to ask?)

Now, STOP AVOIDING GIVING ME HARD EVIDENCE THAT BUSH USED COCAINE, which is what this whole conversation the YOU STARTED is all about. You keep changing the subject and refuse to give a straight answer.  Could it be because that evidence doesn&#039;t exist?  I repeat, PUT UP, OR SHUT UP!  

Do you think you can follow that simple instruction, junior? Or will you blow it out your ear again, and spew some more irrelavent nonsense? (Like I have to ask!)</description>

		<description>Yawn&#039;n&#039;suck:

You avoided the DUI question, for which, by the way, there is evidence.  By your silence--your refusal to denounce drunk driving--I&#039;ll assume that you approve of driving drunk and, quite possibly, have engaged in it yourself.

It would be irresponsible not to speculate.

More stuff you avoided addressing:

&lt;blockquote&gt;
Right back atcha, yawn’n’suck. &lt;B&gt;Document all your accusations against Obama&lt;/B&gt; with confessions by him, or shut up.
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Further:

&lt;blockquote&gt;
And what’s with the “last time” business? “Last time” or what? 
&lt;/blockquote&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;&quot;Pot had helped, and booze; maybe &lt;b&gt;a little blow&lt;/b&gt; when you could afford it. Not smack [heroin] though.&quot;&lt;/em&gt; -- Barack Hussein Obama, &lt;b&gt;self-confessed drug user! (&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.aim.org/aim-column/coke-and-a-smoke-for-obama/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;from his book&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/B&gt;

Now, about Bush.  He never said he did, so in order to prove that he did, you would need evidence, or reliable testimony.  There is none.

WD-40 accused Bush of using cocaine when there is no evidence.  That is slander.  I accused Obama of using it, BECAUSE HE SAID HE DID.

So, let&#039;s review - WD-40 said Bush used cocaine based on hearsay, which means WD-40 is a liar.  (Yeah, I know y&#039;all are shocked to hear THAT!)</description>

		<description>Mark Davis.  So sorry not to weigh in sooner.  Been so busy that I’ve just been able to monitor threads lightly, and dig people out of spam filters.  Commenting and posting has been out of the question.  But I see a brief window at the moment.  So let me go back to your comment #40.

You truly are a man that, despite the differences I know we have, I can respect… for education, command of the language, and  for presentation of your position.  I too would go to the mat had anyone spoken ill of my father, and what I believe is a mischaracterization of who he was - at heart.  

Circumstances in his era were different than what any of us on this forum know today (most of us aren&#039;t his age...).  And I will take your word that he loved capitalist America and it’s opportunities offered… as long as they got that civil rights in place for all Americans, regardless of color.  

Altho since you seem unaware of Obama as a child in your father’s life, I believe you may not have been that close with your father in that period.

Let’s talk “you” for a moment.  Your father is gone.  I think most of us realize that BHO is responsible for who he is today… and only BHO.   He is the one who chose to surround himself with a particular political breed and religion.

You, however, are like most of America… a mixture of &quot;opposite sides of the aisle&quot;.  You appear conservative on 2nd Amendment.  And perhaps you are more aligned with Ward Connerly on affirmative action than with Obama (can’t tell…).  Since you admit you started paying attention to Obama only after this controversy with your father started, may I make a suggestion?

Yes, the BHO website is where people go to hear the &quot;debunking&quot; thing any any particular issue.  However, since your prime mission is to rectify the rumors and dis/mis misinformation on your father, that you may enjoy more credibility with both sides of the aisle using Blogger, Wordpress or other free blogging site that does not conflict with your message.  As you can see, so many discard the messenger by distrust of the messenger, using the bullhorn of a political candidate.  

If you are an Obama supporter…  fine.   You’re certainly not alone.   And from some of the things you said, I have to wonder if you are that staunch an Obama supporter.

But if you genuinely wish to cast new light on your father’s political beliefs in post-civil rights times (*the* era when he would be acquainted with a young Obama), you really need to leave the campaign wing of the candidate.   

Having a website under the Obama campaign banner merely makes you appear to be one of Obama’s website warriors – out there to merely cause their own “mis” information campaigns in order  to accomplish muddy comprehension in order to get BHO elected.  If you want to accomplish your task, pick your priorities, and pick a 3rd party forum.  

You are new to blogging.  I hope you expand your blogging to a non-campaign affiliation and maintain a more expansive presence.   I also hope you weigh in here on the specific issues that are not necessarily based on your father.

BTW, why are you an unregistered voter?  We need informed voters… not bodies… at the polls.  At least, with you, I feel assured you picked a candidate that follows your beliefs.  And you’re weren’t some dupe mesmerized by campaign “pyrotechniques”, so to speak.</description>

“How many convicted criminals have yet to confess to their crimes?” — WD-40

Bush was neither convicted nor was any evidence ever brought against him. He was falsely accused. WD-40’s stupid “question” is just another way of rephrasing the false accusation, i.e., it’s sleezy propaganda, as is WD-40’s habit.
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

B-b-but I thought that the standard of proof was that somebody either did or did not confess to something.  So distinguished a judicial expert as yawn&#039;n&#039;suck said so right here:

&lt;blockquote&gt;
OH, and O’Bummer has admitted cocaine use, but Mr. Bush not only has not, the only “evidence” that he “might have” are the wishful fantasies and false accusations of the Left.
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

None of those guys in prison confessed.  Surely the case against each and every one of them is made of wishful fantasies and false accusations!

What about DUI?  Does being a drunk driver disqualify you from anything, or is drunk driving a-okay in your book?

&lt;blockquote&gt;
NOW, LAST TIME - PUT UP, OR SHUT UP!
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Right back atcha, yawn&#039;n&#039;suck.  Document all your accusations against Obama with confessions by him, or shut up.

(And what&#039;s with the &quot;last time&quot; business?  &quot;Last time&quot; or what? Does it excite you to play the BIG INTERNET TOUGHGUY?)</description>
