It doesn't matter when he held his silly virtual town hall meeting, nobody was watching and I'm not sure anybody even knew it was happening before it happened.  The important thing to take into account is that he very clearly botched it on two counts I might add.
 
The question of course was should we legalize weed.  His answer was that he doesn't think that is a good move, and worse was the way he approached his answer.  It was clearly condescending towards those who think that weed should be legalized. 
 
"I don't know what this says about the internet community" were his exact words.
 
The question here is what does he really think and mean.  A lot of people are saying he needs to be given the benefit of th doubt and trusted he's not making his move on that because it's too controversial and he'd rather work on important things that most people agree with before tackling that issue.  I disagree.
 
He's still part of a generation that isn't liberal with drug use, homosexuality, pornography etc.  But I'm not sure.

    If he was significantly fucking up on anything else I'd hit him on it.  The only thing else that I even quesiton is the bail outs and since nobody has shown me a better plan at the moment I can let it ride.

    I agree that weed should be legalized, but only for liberals. Bails of it
    should be delivered to the homes / caves / boxes of liberals. Maybe it
    would keep them away from the voting booth in the future.

    liberal about drug use, weed, pornography? Try reading up a bit about the harmful effects of all of these! Homosexuality between consenting adults is their own business, but the rest of the stuff is seriously not worth the problems they cause!

    I think Obama's take on this was right - in the midst of all this economic turmoil all some folks can think about is legitimizing their dope smoking? What, do they want government subsidized munchies to go with their herb?

    I agree that this internet town hall thing was a bit idiotic, but I have to give him credit for trying to reach out to more people. He's reaching out to whomever will play tee-ball with him, but at least he's making some kind of effort.

Sarah Palin would be a disaster for the Republicans,
in my humble opinion.
