   Although Hillary is trying to distance herself from the comment, someone from her camp targeted Obama in an interview telling the American people that they should take a second look at his past drug use.

   PUH-LEASE!  First they attack his kindergarten essay and now they’re going after a behavior that most American youth experience? What desperation! If anything, this whole issue helps him. I like him more because of it. Don’t you?

   Here are Barack’s comments about the topic: 

   Obama wrote about his teenage drug use in his memoir, “Dreams from My Father.” 

   “Junkie. Pothead. That’s where I’d been headed: the final fatal role of the young would-be black man,” Obama wrote. Mostly he smoked marijuana and drank alcohol, he wrote, but occasionally he would snort cocaine when he could afford it.

   Speaking to high school students earlier this month, Obama said the following:

   “You know, I made some bad decisions that I’ve actually written about. You know, got into drinking. I experimented with drugs,” he said. “There was a whole stretch of time that I didn’t really apply myself a lot. It wasn’t until I got out of high school and went to college that I started realizing, ‘Man, I wasted a lot of time.’
