    Like who? I only hear a cranky old guy ever in the news talking about it. Seems to be an avoided or glossed over topic by all politicians these days.

    To be fair, this issue is one of the reasons that I will be voting for Gary Johnson this year.

    If you want to go the no-proof conspiracy route, maybe it's because drug money is keeping a lot of Wall Street banks afloat. I'm sure Wells Fargo isn't the only one to have laundered hundreds of billions for drug cartels.

    You could have had the exact same image with "George W. Bush" or "Bill Clinton" in the middle section as well. Too bad you have the intellectual honesty of an end table.

    I could have, but they are not the current Democratic President. Stop living in the past.

    The image is completely factual.

    When you are merely using this issue to tar the current Democratic president, seemingly without any regard for the history of the drug war, expect to be called out on it. The WoD is not being treated any differently under the Obama administration than it was under Bush, Clinton, Bush, or Reagan before him.

    Stop desperately trying to find ANYTHING with which to disparage Obama and I will be happy to stop living in the past.

    Obama is not what I had hoped for with regards to changes he has made, but he has been a damn sight better than McCain would have been and will be MILES better than Romney.
