According to ongoing discussions with Obama aides and associates, if the president wins a second term, he plans to tackle another American war that has so far been successful only in perpetuating more misery: the four decades of The Drug War.

Don't expect miracles. There is very little the president can do by himself. And pot-smokers shouldn't expect the president to come out in favor of legalizing marijuana. But from his days as a state senator in Illinois, Obama has considered the Drug War to be a failure, a conflict that has exacerbated the problem of drug abuse, devastated entire communities, changed policing practices for the worse, and has led to a generation of young children, disproportionately black and minority, to grow up in dislocated homes, or in none at all.

I think he is planning to let drugs run as free in this country as the filthy illegals that bring them in.
Its all a plan to redistribute U.S funds to south America.

Based on the article, he wants the opposite.

Drugs should be legal, or, at the very least, be a public health issue, not a criminal one.
