What About Obama's High School Days?

The liberal media machine are all over Mitt Romney about his high school days in which he, like most high school kids, acted like a goof and maybe even a little bit of a bully.  But what about President Obama?  From Breitbart:   
Obama, by all accounts, was a habitual drug user in high school. He tried cocaine, he admits in Dreams From My Father; he “tried drugs enthusiastically.” The Chicago Tribune reported back in 2007 that Obama thanked the “Choom Gang” in his high school yearbook; “chooming” was Hawaiian slang for smoking pot. The Honolulu Advertiserreported that Obama’s senior portrait “prominently displayed … A package of ‘Zig-Zag’ rolling papers and a matchbook.” One of Obama’s close friends was arrested for drug possession during high school.In his memoir, Obama talked about routinely getting high. “Junkie. Pothead,” he wrote. “That’s where I’d been headed: the final, fatal role of the young would-be black man.” But, according to Obama, he only got high because he was contemplating deep matters: drugs could “push questions of who I was out of my mind.”
Obama told students in 2007 that this activity constituted “goofing off” and “wasting time”:"I will confess to you that I was kind of a goof off in high school as my mom reminded me," Obama said. "I went to high school in Hawaii, so there's a lot of opportunity to goof off because the weather is really good all the time …
"You know, I made some bad decisions …. You know, got into drinking and experimenting with drugs. There was a whole stretch of time where I didn't apply myself. It wasn't until I got out of … high school, and went to college that I started realizing, man, I wasted a lot of time.”

Well it appears that Mitt Romney has grown up and matured.  And Obama?  It seems like he still smokes pot by the way he acts and governs.
And let's about Obama's racism:
During his high school years, Obama hung out with communist radical Frank Marshall Davis; in 2007, the Los Angeles Times reported that during his high school days, “he felt the first stirrings of anger toward whites. He says he also delved into black nationalism.” He was “offended or even enraged when white classmates adopted black street slang or revealed their underlying consciousness of his race by going out of their way to tell him how much they admired a black musician or athlete.
Well, I do understand Obama feeling uncomfortable when white people go out of heir way to patronize a black person.  But anger or enraged?  Maybe that is why he engages in class warfare.
But, in the end, one's high school days usually are not indicative of what a person is when they are adults.  Most people get more mature and form their own opinions once they move out on their own.
Has Romney changed, clearly he has.  Has Obama changed?  I'm not too sure about that, but he probably has a little bit, but we really don't know because the media has done a very poor job vetting the man.
But one question, if Obama was smoking all that pot and he has admitted to using cocaine, how did he get off the drugs?  Did he go to rehab or go cold turkey or is he still using?  At least George Bush was up front about his days as a booze hound, he didn't hide it.  Obama, on the other hand, just hides behind the lap dogs of the media.
Just another instance of media taking sides with the presidential candidates.

  1. Many, many, many (many) people have used cocaine and pot in their school years, and don't use it anymore. Not everyone who uses drugs becomes an addict (and pot isn't physically addictive). I never tried coke, but I used pot many (many) times, and didn't need rehab to not use it anymore.

    And I'd contend that Bush didn't really stop boozing. . .or cocaine (which he admitted to also). He seemed drunk half the time, and had that weird, waggling "coke jaw" thing going on. Just sayin'. . .

  2. I love it! ...just the tiniest hint that Obama might of/could of have a shortcoming or two, and the left can only respond with "well George Bush, (fill in the blank).. " lol
