Clinton N.H. Official Warns Obama Will Be Attacked on Drug Use
This from The Washington Post
“The Republicans are not going to give up without a fight … and one of the things they’re certainly going to jump on is his drug use,” said Shaheen, the husband of former N.H. governor Jeanne Shaheen, who is planning to run for the Senate next year. Billy Shaheen contrasted Obama’s openness about his past drug use — which Obama mentioned again at a recent campaign appearance in New Hampshire — with the approach taken by George W. Bush in 1999 and 2000, when he ruled out questions about his behavior when he was “young and irresponsible.”Shaheen said Obama’s candor on the subject would “open the door” to further questions. “It’ll be, ‘When was the last time? Did you ever give drugs to anyone? Did you sell them to anyone?’” Shaheen said. “There are so many openings for Republican dirty tricks. It’s hard to overcome.”
Shaheen’s remarks were some of the most direct to date by Clinton campaign officials in addressing the issue of Obama’s past drug use as a potential problem in the general election. This week, the Clinton campaign has been focusing on the broader issue of Obama’s electability, arguing that Democrats would be better off nominating a tested candidate like Clinton.
This is such a bunch of bullshit, here you have this Hillary dickhead flunky calling out Obama on drug use when you know damm well anyone associated with the Clinton campaign past or present, or homies of the Clinton Klan I bet frequently fired up the weed.
You mean to tell me firing up the mean green is not a regular hobby in Democrat circles.
Oh don’t get wrong, high brow Republicans will give you that hypocritical smirk while they spout off about the ill legality of partaking in the ceremonial burning of some Mary Jane. The same people who drown their sorrows in daily Martini or Merlot binges.
Yes I’m sure the Republican drug czars may just try and attack Obama on the issue, certainly a cheap shot, but would not be shocking.
This crap coming from the Hillary camp tho just reeks of incredible desperation. This like everything else in her campaign will bite her in the ass.
Every damm day someone in her campaign come out with some bullshit. She needs to just tell her supporters and staff to “shut the fuck up.”

Although I think he’s a smug dicktard, George Clooney did have a great quote on candidate’s drug use, something to the effect of, “If they lived through the ’60’s and DIDN’T try pot, I don’t think they’re qualified to be my president.” Hell, yeah.
