And so has Obama. Both are drug warriors. In fact, there have been more medical marijuana arrests under Obama than Bush. Obama is currently allowing the jailing of state employees who were acting legally under state law.

Also please note I'm using highly liberal sources:

Over the past year, the Obama administration has quietly unleashed a multi*agency crackdown on medical cannabis that goes far beyond anything undertaken by George W. Bush. The feds are busting growers who operate in full compliance with state laws, vowing to seize the property of anyone who dares to even rent to legal pot dispensaries, and threatening to imprison state employees responsible for regulating medical marijuana. With more than 100 raids on pot dispensaries during his first three years, Obama is now on pace to exceed Bush's record for medical-marijuana busts. "There's no question that Obama's the worst president on medical marijuana," says Rob Kampia, executive director of the Marijuana Policy Project. "He's gone from first to worst."

acting legally under state law does not mean "acting legally."

i agree with you both but let's not pretend that legally innocent people are getting in trouble. federal law still trumps state law. so let's just say that obama sucks and leave it at that.

this election isn't about drone strikes or hypocrisy...
