Obama says drug legalization not answer to cartels
Source: The Associated Press
President Barack Obama says legalizing drug use is not the answer to trafficking in illegal narcotics in the Americas, countering a growing chorus in Latin America to discuss decriminalization as a way to ease deadly cartel violence.
Obama says he is open to having a debate about legalization but he doesn't believe it will lead to an agreement to legalize drugs.
Obama was speaking to an assembly of top executives from the hemisphere as part of the sixth Summit of the Americas here.
The president said the answer to the drug cartels is societies that have strong economics, rules of law, and a law enforcement infrastructure that is sound. He said the responsibility also rests with countries that are big destinations for the drugs to reduce demand for illegal narcotics.
Even though DUmmies already take all the drugs they want, they have a problem. (http://www.democraticunderground.com/101497824)

Because it has worked so well all these years. But if Obama did agree to legalization, the Repukes would have open season on him. They would probably make commercials showing Obama giving drugs to children at the White House.

35. Sigh. He knows he's wrong. He's not an idiot. He just doesn't want to pick this battle.

It's just like gun control. He doesn't want to touch it with a ten foot pole. Unfortunately, independents and soccer moms want to keep drugs illegal, and that's who he needs to be re-elected. But I still hold out hope that some day, after he's re-elected, it will be pot that's legal and not AK-47s.
Um, DUmmy? If you want pot, go buy some. You do already. And AKs are already illegal.

Libs are addicted to marijuana ? Say it isn't so. If we could only get all libs to be everyday smokers of weed. Watch every wisp of ambition they may have ever had to be rabble rousers, community organizers or whatever, just drift away.
