It kills brain cells and leads to memory loss several years after you take large amounts of it. The effect is slow to happen, but trust me, it happens. Sure enough, the government could just legalize marijuana, and then we will be profiting from people's stupidity and suffering. Yay? @Deanna P Zimmerman Your response is the one i hear from most liberals. Instead of answering the question of how much Obama is spending, they just answer with another question directed at Bush. Heres the deal: Bush isn't our president anymore, Obama is. As of now, I don't give two shits what Bush did, but what Obama is doing right now. If Bush made mistakes, then I would hope Obama is doing something to fix them. If not, I would hope Obama is doing something to improve our economy and not ruin it. People just want to know what Obama is doing, not what Bush did. If Bush spent 80 trillion dollars (exaggerated), fine, he was the worst president ever, but then my concern is what is Obama doing to fix that problem? Stop bashing on things you can't fix and focus on what we can do right now in our current situation. @DTTW

The real problem is Democrats vs Republicans. Nothing gets done because these two gangs are engaging in a war on each other. They seem to care less and less about OUR NATION, and instead focus on attacking each other. I don't expect them to agree on everything, but this is getting ridiculous. I want what is best for OUR NATION. Seems that most, probably all, of these poli-tricksters we've elected only care about their own personal and party agendas, not what is going to really benefit the US. These people use whatever they can to gain office, then do whatever the can to stay there. I think it has alot to do with the elite status they assume as politicians. Regardless of which color they claim, red or blue, they seem to not care about the opinions and wishes of their boss, the people. They seem to not live in the same America as the rest of us. Most of us should be ashamed for allowing these people, who do not perform the job we hired them to do, to keep their job. We're broke. Red + Blue needs to = Green, or they both need to be expelled. All they do is pit Americans vs Americans and it sickens me. It is our duty as Americans to monitor and evaluate, regardless which gang you want to claim, all of the officials we have elected. Point is, they do not fear the people as they should, and they're using us as pawns. America needs to flush the toilet that is Washington. The problem is not Obama or Bush.

Those who criticize him are unfair, biased and ignorant. All one has to do is search the internet for what has been done. Then, compare Bush's deeds with his side kick,Cheney who should shut up.By the wAY,whatever happened to the friend he shot? here is a president who tries o stay in touch with the people, knows what is needed, cares about the enlisted,has reversed Bush laws that hurt the country and every citizen.

He will also go down as one of the world's greatest terrorist. He sure did terrorize the world during his terms and did a fine job that is all being blamed on Obama. Guaranteed if McCain would have gotten in office and had to deal with this leftover mess, he wouldn't have gotten half the gripes that Obama gets, and McCain would've put our country in the same awful direction that Bush was taking us. Remember, some things take years to feel the effects. We, as Americans, just want everything here and now. Just wait, if Congress will allow him to do his job, then those effects will be felt by his 2nd term. (or if a Republican is chosen at that time, he will get rewarded with praise from what Obama accomplished. That is what happened to Bush after Clinton's terms were finished.) No matter what, or who's in office, I just want good things to happen for the USA and maybe a critic at times, but maybe one that can also help in making change. I won't ever just "BITCH" about it. Do something positive now for our country and stop spreading this negative energy about our current leader. Never during Bush' 8 years did I write something to just BITCH about him. I am a DO-er and I will do what I can for our country to thrive! Not just BITCH about it.

Marijuana makes over 8 billion dollars a year in California alone just being medical if you regulated it like cigarettes in every state lets take 1/2 the size of Cali and times that by 49 so 4 billion times 49 that is 196 billion a year and that is just saying medical not the possible 20-30+ billion California could make alone if it was regulated but alas the government is too concerned that the people of the country will look at them in shame(though they wont) and the other thing stopping them is the fear that marijuana will bring a downfall to the drug Co. (though most every drug if more dangerous and addicting then marijuana) because marijuana cures things such as chronic and regular pain eating disorders low blood pressure headaches depression(yes marijuana is a depressant but a different kind it depresses(in other words relaxes not makes sadder i.e you can depress a balloon by taking the air out but it doesn't make the balloon sad it just makes it flat.) the body not the brain.)it in tests has actually been proven to reduce the size of inoperable tumors help with glaucoma and many many more. There are thousands upon thousands of different drugs that do the same with side effects such as pain nausea vomiting, fatigue, dry mouth, kidney and liver problems, high addiction rate, death, diarrhea, infection, high blood pressure low blood pressure diabetes swollen or shrunk testicles and many many more yet the only side effects of pot to date are irritated throat from smoking (which goes away in a few hours to days depending on quantity smoked) dry mouth and like most pain killers temporary depressed motor skills and thought process.

This misjudgment has caused tons of people to get mad at him when he hasn't really had the chance to stretch his legs and exercise what he believes to be best for our country. Many people complain about how our country's debt has increased since he's been in office when really, they're the ones who put their stimulus checks into savings instead of spending them to help boost the economy. I don't think anybody has the right to complain about a problem unless they are doing something to fix it. He's the president, not superman... and our government is made up of checks and balances so he does not have supreme power to change things as he sees fit. People should stop putting the blame on him until they learn about what the Legislative, Executive, and Judicial branch are doing to help back him up. If you don't have knowledge about what you're talking about, then don't open your mouth... it's called ignorance, and the world has enough of it.
