Ron Paul Argues For Marijuana Legalization On CNN

Barack needs to take notes.

Actor Kal Penn joining the Obama administration

Remember Kumar from the classic stoner movies Harold & Kumar? Kumar will be working for President Barack Obama soon. He will be joining the administration as part of Obama's public liaison. His real name is Kal Penn, by the way.

CNN - The actor will be part of the White House Office of Public Liaison, which is run by Obama senior adviser Valerie Jarrett. Penn will be primarily involved in dealing with Asian American and Pacific Islander communities and the arts community.

There was "'something aching in me to do something completely different and take a break from the acting thing for a while'" Penn said he told the executive producers of the TV series "House" when he explained his decision to get involved with politics full-time.

The actor also said his interest in politics has deep roots. "I've been thinking about [moving into politics] for a while. I love what I do as an actor. I couldn't love it more. . . . .probably from the time I was a kid, I really enjoyed that balance between the arts and public service."

"It's probably because of the value system my grandparents instilled in me. They marched with Gandhi in the Indian independence movement, and that was always in the back of my head. So the past couple of years I thought about it a little more."

But Penn also is leaving the door open to returning to acting at some later point. "Who's to say where any path leads? I still have a passion for it. But for the time being, I won't be acting," Penn told EW.com

At the time of his hiring, Kal was working on Fox's House. After a sudden a mysterious death of his character, he let everyone know that he would be getting this new gig.

Being that he will be working closely with Obama, maybe he can talk some sense into him after Barack spurted this nonsense.

Barack Obama Doesn't Approve Of Marijuana Legalization

A few months ago before being inaugurated, President Barack Obama and his administration had a website set up where people would be allowed to sound off on political issues. After someone would make a suggestion to the administration, other users were able to vote issues up or down depending on how they felt about it. The response was overwhelmingly in favor of marijuana legalization.

Since then, people have been wondering where Barack Obama stands on the issue and up until now, he has been quiet about it. In this video, he shares how he feels that marijuana legalization will not improve the countries economy.

I am very disappointed to say the least. In this video from 2004, he stated that he is in favor of marijuana decriminalization but not info favor of legalization like he stated in this video.

How would it not be a good strategy to boost the economy?? I don't think anyone can argue that it would create more jobs because someone has to produce and distribute it. It would definitely sell, even if I have to buy enough to sustain the economy all by myself.

This is the first time Barack has really disappointed me.

Barack Obama continued to cement his place as the coolest president ever by making the first appearance by a president on a late night talk show. Dude is smooth.

President-elect Barack Obama held his first press conference today. He started off the day bright and early meeting up with all his economic advisors from across the nation. He talked a lot about the economy at first and then from there he answered questions.

Here are the videos from the entire session which lasted about 25 minutes.

Ahhh, I think it's finally starting to set in. I could get used to this.
