When did Obama stop taking drugs? (liberals, Barack Obama, American, officials)

[scorp200]

I couldn't care less about any of the candidates' former drug use, as long as they're not still using.

Did he stop before or after Cindy McCain did?

Cindy McCain - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In 1989, Cindy McCain became addicted to Percocet and Vicodin, opioid painkillers, which she initially took to alleviate pain following two spinal surgeries for ruptured discs, and to ease emotional stress during the Keating Five affair.[38][39][39][40][41] The addiction progressed to where she was taking upwards of twenty pills a day,[15] and she resorted to having an AVMT physician write illegal prescriptions in the names of three AVMT employees without their knowledge.[38][42] In 1992, her parents staged an intervention to force her to get help;[22] she told her husband about her problem, attended a drug treatment facility, began outpatient sessions, and ended her three years of addiction.[39] Surgery in 1993 resolved her back pain.[39][41]

When did Obama ever admit to using crack? Also, according to his books and everything I've heard him say, he was a teenager when he experimented with drugs.

Anyway, in his own words:

DING DING DING DING ... now I get it!!!! Wow, 2+2 ... the reason why the GOP are so righteous about anti-choice is because apparently, the only way GOP men can stay sober is by having their wives have babies ... it's what got Wonderboy to straighten up! Halleluja!

I don't think addiction is something that happens to people who lack character and good judgment. The character and good judgment would come with the decision not to take them to begin with. Once you take them, it's not like you really can choose to become addicted or not. It don't think it's a choice.

Is Cindy McCain running for office? I didn't think so. Obama is running for PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.

Many feel he still has a drug addiction.

Many who?
lol...this is the weakest argument I've seen to date for why a politician could be tired on the campaign trail.


Perhaps this will help.
