Obama the stoner
So all right already—Obama was a stoner in high school.
Didn’t we already know that? And although the photos are rather interesting in a retro-70s way, do we really care?
Not all that much, although it certainly tells us some of what Obama was doing way back when. For that matter, I never cared much about George Bush’s drinking, or whether Clinton inhaled, although I wouldn’t have liked an alcoholic or pot-smoking president.
What’s important about the Obama-the-stoner story is how little attention has been paid to it contrasted to how much attention it would received had it been in the past of some Republican candidate. I get awfully tired of remarking on that sort of thing, but it remains true. The MSM has been remarkably uncurious about so many aspects of Barack’s—then known as Barry—life.
The story is more interesting for the questions it raises about certain unknowns connected with Obama’s academic performance. If he was such a stoner at Punahoe, how did he get into Occidental, and if he was (by his own admission) an indifferent student at Occidental, how did he get into Columbia? And so on and so forth.
But maybe this was how Obama learned history. I can think of worse ways:
[NOTE: By the way, Vanderleun of American Digest was on the case long, long ago.]
You know what would be helpful? If we could see Obama’s school transcripts.
Not that he would ever, ever consider making them public. Too much to hide.
How did he get into Occidental and Columbia by being a stoner?
Easy. One word: “Cocaine.”
i think he may have more to worry about
WHEN? Not IF?
i wonder what the African Spicoli will say…
[oh yeah… didn’t he make a open mike flub?]
nothing like a stoner using the others playbook from last century and incompetent at the same time military is cut, people cant function, no ability to build or make equipment at a war level, and no one to borrow to pay for defense…
[the other kind of Stoner was ok… Stoner has a good history in the military, but A stoner doesnt]
Think that they might take advantage of that?
they have done more because of less…
and someone is issuing to take over the rest of the country they invaded and we ignored.
by the way.. do note that when its someone they dont like… even slight drug use of aspirins is a fire squad offense.
but if your a protected class.. like the president, or saint skittles (Trayvon) and others, then there are whole articles that declare that drug use don’t matter, (Except when they declare they do).
given the fact the columns are so small, and any quoting takes huge room, i will just put headlines over the past few years we have ignored.
ALL of these are from recent news and MOST of them are during Obama’s presidency…
anyone remember what proceeded prior conflicts, yes? A buildup?
“There is a real sense of unreality. They don’t listen to our arguments, and we don’t listen to theirs,” says Mr Rogov. He adds that the US is “deploying technology against Iranian ICBMs which Iran doesn’t have, while Russia is concerned about similarly non-existent American interceptors”.
He concludes: “The argument is a just a battle of worst-case scenarios.”

Russian bombers ‘intercepted in British airspace’
“This is not an unusual incident, and many people may be surprised to know that our crews have successfully scrambled to intercept Russian aircraft on more than 20 occasions since the start of 2009,” Wing Cdr. Mark Gorringe, of the RAF’s 111 Squadron, said in a statement.

I forgot to point out that the dirty little secret about the suicides are that its a lot of the women doing it… even as far back as 2006
U.S. Military Keeping Secrets About Female Soldiers’ ‘Suicides’?
http://www.truthdig.com/report/item/20080826_us_military_keeping_secrets_about_female_soldiers_suicides/
like white on black crime, they dont easily break down who is doing what…
that way, people dont react to it and pull back from the command design…
ie. they paint a false image of things (and the new legalization of propaganda would be a way to get around the real information getting out!!)
In 2011, there were 164 deaths of active-duty soldiers that were investigated as suicides. Adding to the horror is this surprise: According to a study in Psychiatric Services, among women ages 18 to 34, female veterans were three times more likely to kill themselves than nonveterans. (An earlier study found that male veterans were twice as likely to commit suicide as were male nonvets.)
in other words.. .
women according to feminists and progressives and neo liberals are like men..
in reality according to suicide rates, and other things… women cant hack it… they arent even in the worst part of it… yeah they can be attacked cause ‘there is no front line’, but mostly, they dont get into it the same as the guys do regularly…
Military women and suicide: Home safe but not sound
http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/47556147/ns/today-today_health/#.T7_abnIvljM
maybe there was a reason why women werent in militaries for centuries (except for a few exceptional women)… maybe (again) the feminists were wrong and that women are not equal to men but complimentary.
but do note… all this lowers fertility of the women who follow the advice.
also, there are reports which you can find in that they cant do the work… that they break down and men have to take over when crap hits… (just compare the story of the press to the actual story of the one that was rescued from the hospital… jessica lynch.. like trayvon, she was a hero in the press, but she said she broke down in reality)
meanwhile…
Army opens jobs in combat battalions to women
Female soldiers sue to lift combat ban
basically a few are suing, and it will change it all for women.. with the men being dumbed down in school… women and affirmative action, you can be sure that in a coming storm, the women will be conscripted..
ie. given the social changes the central planners system wont function without them makeing such adjustments to cover or fix the prior adjustments problems
there is also the OTHER dirty secret..
if they dont suicide out
a large percentage of them get pregnant to avoid deployment and keep benefits… imagine that… benefits.
The more interesting thing is how little we know about Obama as a person. These things keep popping out now that some of the shine has worn off. That he was a high school stoner (or claimed to be one) is not of critical importance, but combined with his totally superficial biography leaves us in the dark.
It does show him as lazy but ambitious which is still the case. His attention span for his actual job is vanishingly small.
I had no idea about this. He just gets more and more hideous.
The answer is affirmative action.
Uhhmmmm. Arfldgr. On the women can’t hack it thing. Not hardly. It’s not pain or deprivation that women can’t hack. Childbirth and history show that women can hack it. Allright, I know I’m arguing what you are already pointing to, but it needs a further pointing out. What women can’t hack is the killing which is so contrary to their purpose of creating and nurturing.
If both men and women have to suffer the purpose destroying reality of war, there won’t be anyone left with a purpose.

Obama must have studied really hard at Occidental to be able to transfer to Columbia.

Nah. The Party swung it, to move Obama up from the low minors to AA ball.
Didn’t we already know that? And although the photos are rather interesting in a retro-70s way, do we really care?
That’s not the point. The point is that the facade is crumbling.
DirtyJobsGuy: Artflgr was on a roll and your comment interrupted him!
The word that stands out to me is this one: interception. Isn’t that how he won his senate seat?
“Obama must have studied really hard at Occidental to be able to transfer to Columbia.”
I was being sarcastic.
OK, the angle of this that interests me is the response of the left to this, which is… “Obama was a really cool guy. He knows how to get down!”
The left’s response to W’s purported cocaine use was… “This proves that he is an empty headed frat boy and degenerate rich guy!”
What accounts for the difference in viewpoint?
The press, you know, are not amateurs. They are professionals…and very, very good at overlooking and just plain refusing to look at some facts.
