Obama smoke pot-- lets minimize his endeavors to 'sitting around smoking pot' We more or less can understand who Obama's base is. It's people who think dignity to the white house is a desecration of the constitution --an assault on the first amendment, 2nd amendment, 10th amendment----as well as a push to sidestep the balance of powers by ignoring the laws passed in congress and then denigrating the Supreme Court on the basis they may disagree with his power grab. And hey--we had prisoners who were waterboarded--which totally took away dignity from the white house. This PResident just decides he can kill Americans overseas---no need for trials (4 of them that they admitted to)--so yeah -thats totally what this country is for-- we no longer worry about arrests and trials -we just presume guilt and kill them . Yeee HAA cowboy obama.

I believe most Americans would rather have JOBS, a growing economy, lower fuel and energy prices,…Read More "transparency," a government (and president) which does not use thuggery and naked power--UNLAWFULLY--to TARGET and discriminate against taxpaying Americans, a competent foreign policy and CIC who helps keep Americans SAFE, which is potus' prime responsibility! They disagree with you and your silly, distorted view of "dignity" in the WH. A president like O, who is in perpetual campaign mode, who is an angry narcissist, whose daily "work" schedule usually starts around 10:30 or 11 a.m. and ends soon after lunch and photo ops--and who bows to foreign kings and sheiks--hardly qualifies as bringing "dignity" to the presidency!

I mean look at the man. Ten years before he was President he was sitting on a bar stool doing nothing with his life. Now after his Presidency, he's an artist painting pictures of himself in the shower. Gimme a break. Through some fluke of nature, somewhere in between there he became President of the United States. You couldn't make this stuff up, but that doesn't make it any less embarrassing. Thank goodness Obama came along and gave America some dignity.
