Obama, Where Art Thou?
by Saab Lofton

"Obama will not fulfill that potential for change unless he is enveloped by a social movement, which is angry enough, powerful enough, insistent enough, that he fills his abstract phrases about change with some real content."
--Professor Howard Zinn, author of A People's History of the United States

"Politicians are like weather vanes; our job is to make the wind blow."
--David Brower, three-time Nobel Peace Prize nominee

Democratic candidates more willing to consider marijuana issue
By Muriel Kane - http://rawstory.com/rawreplay/?p=1023

According to CBS News, politicians today no longer dodge questions about marijuana and are increasingly willing to consider the benefits of medical marijuana.

Bill Clinton aroused a storm of controversy when he claimed in 1992 that ‘I experimented with marijuana a time or two and I didn’t like it and didn’t inhale and never tried it again.”

In contrast, Barack Obama has freely admitted, “I inhaled — frequently. That was the point.” Senators Kerry and Edwards both said “yes” when asked in 2003 if they had ever tried marijuana.
