Jeeze..., Ol' Georgie boy Bush got busted with cocaine, had 2 DUI's, has a major problem with alcohol abuse, went AWOL in order to avoid service to his country..., and Obama smoked POT (the dreaded life suckin' deadly weed that leads to heroine, not!) and can still talk straight! WTF! Bush can't even get out one sentence without screwin' it up! Gimme a break!

I wonder why he considers it a mistake? Because he really regrets smoking it because he truly believes it is wrong? or because its what the public expects?

I'd have believed him more if he had said, "yes, I smoked it, it was back in high school, you know, you try things at that age. I only did it a couple times, and decided it wasn't for me." -- believable

Heck, I smoke pot, I have no issue admitting it. Then again, I'm not nor ever plan to run for office. Though if I did, I'd admit it then too.
