At least Obama came clean about his drug use during his younger years. Apparently, even while under oath in a court of law, the idiot you wish to defend never owns up to any of his past or present indiscretions. I would go so far as to state that both of you think he and Brownie did a heck of a job and that selective rules apply to those who commit the CRIME of perjury in a court of law. Too bad running America into damn near 3rd world status is only considered acceptable by the rednecks who remain brainless, clueless and in denial.

Convicted of Drunk Driving, and Lied to Cover It Up
George Bush now admits that he was convicted of drunk driving. On September 4, 1976, a state trooper saw Bush's car swerve onto the shoulder, then back onto the road. [The Bush camp spin that he was driving too slowly is simply a lie.] Bush failed a road sobriety test and blew a .10 blood alcohol, plead guilty, and was fined and had his driver's license suspended. His spokesman says that he had drunk "several beers" at a local bar before the arrest. Bush was 30 at the time. He now says that he stopped drinking when he turned 40 because it was a problem.
More troubling, Bush lied in denying such an arrest, and still won't take responsibility for his actions. His first reaction was to blame Democrats and Fox News -- the only openly conservative TV network -- for reporting the story. "Why [was this reported] now, four days before the election? I've got my suspicions." He refused to say what his suspicions are, though. Bush admits covering up the story, but seems to think he has no responsibility for the failure of his cover up.
In fact, just like Clinton with Monica Lewinsky, Bush has brazenly and repeatedly lied to cover up and minimize this arrest. 1. Bush Lied at his Press Conference, 11/3/2000
Bush said he paid a fine on the spot and never went to court. That is clearly a lie, as you can see on this court document showing his court hearing a month later. In fact, it was a man also in court for DUI the same day who revealed Bush' arrest. Here is exactly what Bush said in his press conference: Bush: "I told the guy I had been drinking and what do I need to do? And he said, "Here's the fine." I paid the fine and did my duty...." Reporter: "Governor, was there any legal proceeding of any kind? Or did you just -- " Bush: "No. I pled -- you know, I said I was wrong and I ..." Reporter: "In court? " Bush: No, there was no court. I went to the police station. I said, "I'm wrong."
2. Bush Lied in Court, 1978
Bush got a court hearing to get his driving suspension lifted early, even though he had not completed a required driver rehabilitation course. He told the hearings officer that he drank only once a month, and just had "an occasional beer." The officer granted his request. But Bush continued drinking for 8 years after that date and has said publicly that he drank too much and had a drinking problem during that time. Presumably Bush was under oath during the hearing, though we haven't been able to pin down that detail. The Bush campaign refuses to comment on this contradiction. George W. Bush, Jr. - The Dark Side
Probably the same room that Laura Bush smokes her cigarettes in. She probably showed him what room it is on the tour today.
Exactly. But of course there still remains that portion of this country who thinks race is a determining factor as to when double standards should apply.

We know.
Bush didn't use drugs.
Clinton didn't inhale.
Monica didn't swallow.
What in the world does that have to do with rednecks?
Where in the White House will Obama go to smoke his cigarettes? Will he have to stand next to a door outside and blow the smoke out?
Don't actually know him that well, but smoking is surely not a good habit for ppl.......a walking flippen ashtray...and what about second hand smoke for ppl around him and whomever smokes..
