"Via Reason Magazine: "A poll conducted earlier this month by Mason-Dixon Polling & Research on behalf of the Marijuana Policy Project finds that 76 percent of Americans want President Barack Obama to end his crackdown on medical marijuana in states where medicinal use of the plant is legal...". Why is Obama siding with a fraction of the country? The Young Turks host Cenk Uygur breaks it down."
From The Young Turks
I have a newsflash for Cenk Uygur, even though I think he's already aware of this. But Barack Obama is a politician, a professional politician and when professional politicians are up for reelection and they know they're in for a tough race, that's what their focus is on.
The White House and Obama Campaign (correctly or wrongly) has calculated that in order for then to get reelected, they have to sound like hawks on immigration, the so-called War On Drugs, and to a certain extent as well, on national security and foreign policy, to win enough Independents, to defeat Mitt Romney in November and protect their slim majority in the Senate, and prevent House Democrats from getting wiped out.
Barack Obama is not the peace and love, hippie Socialist, that so many people on the Far-Left in America (including The Young Turks) thought they were getting when they three all of their support behind then Senator Obama in 2007-08, instead of Dennis Kucinich or the Green Party. He's a politician who likes being President of the United States and wants to get reelected.
