At least I know the one that smoking a joint is being honest!
Yep, I would submit that having done psychedelics once or twice might make a candidate a more whole, well rounded, introspective, caring individual.
In Romney's case, at this point in his life, a few grams of shrooms might improve him or put him into the loony bin. A win / win if you will.

Never did any drugs other than booze but I have lived long enough to realize Shakespeare was right about life;

Obama - squarely in the tradition of any great thing but not bad thing

You have to have " a bull or C to go with that" White people prefer "a Janice". I managed a liquor store in college.

Brilliant, those Poles.
The collapse of the Soviet Union was predicted by the CIA almost to the day it happened...In the 1960's. Ronnie Rayguns administration had nothing to do with it.

He did not have time to engineer the collapse of the Soviet Union. He was too busy sleeping while he presided over one of the most corrupt administrations in the history of this country.

Remember these:

1 Iran-Contra Affair
2 Department of Housing and Urban Development grant rigging
3 Lobbying scandal
4 EPA scandals
5 Inslaw Affair
6 Savings & loan crisis
7 Debategate

No, you probably don't.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reagan_...ation_scandals

How about his tripling of the national debt. Forgot about that one too I assume.

Reagan was a joke. Sadly we have followed his ridiculous trickle down economic supply side economic model for so long now almost all the wealth in this country has been moved to the top income earners using tax loopholes not available to us commoners.

Fact: The Walton heirs hold wealth equal to the bottom 40% of income earners in the US.

http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-me...ealth-bottom-/

Reagan started it and it is going to take drastic measures to end it.

Let the defensive lies fly.

Shakespeare had Obama's number centuries ago. Failed leaders are such a bore.

But that line was delivered by an young man on the edge of madness.
