CPAC Speaker Mocks Obama's Use Of Cocaine (VIDEO)
Critics of Barack Obama seemed to have long since abandoned the idea that his admitted drug use as a youth could be used as a political cudgel to hold over him.

But on Thursday a featured speaker at CPAC did just that, whacking the president for using cocaine at one point in his early years and equating the country's experience with the Obama administration to a regrettable drug binge.

Jason Mattera of the Young America's Foundation, declared that: "Our notion of freedom doesn't consist of snorting cocaine, which distinguishes us from Barack Obama."

Later, he added: "On the cocaine front I do believe many young people in America view Barack in the same fashion they view drugs: it was a substance to experiment with."

The hangover has them saying, 'What the hell did I just do.'"

There were some cheers from the crowd. But mostly uncomfortable "ooohs." Mattera clearly enjoyed the role of bomb-thrower, unwilling to let up on his provocative rhetoric.

He declared that "even the slutty Obama girl has said her crush has faded," and then went on to make fun of the "feminist new black man" -- a "crossover between Rupaul and Barney Frank."

Story continues below Among the other titles he applied the president was a "scrawny street agitator" and "jack-ass"

"Get your government off my freedom," he declared.

31. Yup.
You'd think the Goopers smoked too much weed based on the fact that they have such bad short-term memory.

4. It's a valid criticism as long as the feds keep locking up non violent drug users.
Don't want your opponents to have ammo? Try a morally consistent position on the issue!

11. I think all drugs should be legalized but this accomplishes nothing.
Oh, look. Obama was a cocaine user! Yeah, and Rethugs want to lock up drug users too.

19. Pointing out hypocrisy is always worthwhile. And the operative word is *TOO*.
"...Rethugs want to lock up drug users too."

20. Pointing out the President's unabated prosecution of the Drug War is not ignorance.

25. OK, but then don't make my point so neatly. Deal?
Edited on Thu Feb-18-10 04:59 PM by Romulox
I have no idea who jason mattera is (except for the references in this thread) and the Drug War is STILL a bad idea. Especially when prosecuted by an admitted drug user. :shrug:

23. What reach? The Obama admin. CONTINUES to prosecute non-violent drug offenders
and to raid dispensaries and medical marijuana clinics despite promises to the contrary (can anybody say "entrapment"?)

If the President believes that this is truly justice, then his own drug use is a fair topic of conversation in my book, no matter how "rightwing" you want to paint me.
