The Obamanation

As someone who looks for pro-liberty positions in candidates I figured Obama'd be a lock for improving our drug laws. The GOP preaches family values but jails young black men like crazy making sure nuclear families don't develop. Well Obama is apparently just a little worse than Bush.

Back when he was running for president in 2008, Barack Obama insisted that medical marijuana was an issue best left to state and local governments. "I'm not going to be using Justice Department resources to try to circumvent state laws on this issue," he vowed, promising an end to the Bush administration's high-profile raids on providers of medical pot, which is legal in 16 states and the District of Columbia.
Nope.
