Amazing that we have had presidents in our country who were former drug users. Romney will be the first president in decades who has never been a druggie at some point in his life.

President Ron Paul would fit that description of a sober POTUS too. However, he would also be the first POTUS in decades who had served in the US military during wartime; something neither Obama or Romney were willing to do.

Yes, Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan, George H. W. Bush, etc., were all druggies.

It effects were exhibited in Bill Clinton through his perversions in the White House (she was no marilyn). Then there was Bush with his idiosyncrasies. Then Obama and his tanked presidency.

You can tell Bobby Jindal never did drugs or drank, so if he is running mate it could be the first drug-free, alcohol-free WH ever.

Although...IF Romney becomes POTUS, he will be the first one that has knocked someone to the gorund, held them down and forcibly cut their hair.

Depends on your definition of "druggie". Does smoking pot in college make you a "druggie"? Does using Ambien to sleep? Does Xanax? I have no idea what Mitt picks up at his local CVS.

I drink wine but I don't call myself and alcoholic.
