*Presidential races can get nasty. But the Obamas seem to handle the mud flinging with ease.
First lady Michelle Obama addressed the recent revelations regarding her hubby’s past marijuana use on Tuesday during an appearance on “The Daily Show.”

The book shares discussion worthy details about Obama’s more colorful experiences.
“By the time he was in college, like so many young people, he realized that he could do more with his life,” the first lady said. “He had a mother that was always saying you’re so gifted, you’re so talented, slap him on the head, ‘get yourself together.’”
She continued, “When he lost his father, that was one of those click-in moments. And he really buckled down, he transferred schools, went to Columbia, and thought about how to use his life to the fullest.”
This marked Michelle’s first appearance on the show since moving into the White House.
Oh Please!! what Barack Obama did in his youth andbefore he became POTUS is in the past and should stay there, it has no relvance on ho he is doing as President and how he plans to implement hsi policies to help this country when / if he is re-elected. I am so sick of the repubs, teapartyers, birthes, that idiot Trump, Fox News and anyone else who does not like President Obama bringing up crap to start ish.
correction- how
I’ll remember that when something comes up in Romney’s youth past.
As if your ‘redneck’ memory should actually matter for anything!
My redneck memory?
Some situations relative to a public figure’s past is relevant, like particular negative personal views that effect objectivity in leading the public. However past indulgence of the POTUS smoking weed is really a non-issue and in the eyes of some youth, makes him appear “cool”.
‘chele, gon’ handle it like a true “Ride-or-Die” woman, her response, eloquent and to the point: “I ain’t seen nu’in”. Amen and amen.
