Obama, by all accounts, was a habitual drug user in high school. He tried cocaine, he admits in Dreams From My Father; he “tried drugs enthusiastically.” The Chicago Tribune reported back in 2007 that Obama thanked the “Choom Gang” in his high school yearbook; “chooming” was Hawaiian slang for smoking pot. The Honolulu Advertiser reported that Obama’s senior portrait “prominently displayed … A package of ‘Zig-Zag’ rolling papers and a matchbook.” One of Obama’s close friends was arrested for drug possession during high school.

In his memoir, Obama talked about routinely getting high. “Junkie. Pothead,” he wrote.

"Tried cocaine"=habitual drug user?

Wow! Breitbart is dead but his quality "journalism" still lives on! Investigative journalism is when you read the guy's fucking book?

Obama wrote about it. The problem is the pot he smoked. Obama used "blow when I could get it".
Pot rots your higher brain functions and turns you into:
1. a man with tits, or "norts"
2. a couch potato
3. a dimwit.
Al Gore was a famous pothead/hash achiever. This may explain his flunking out of both grad programs he tried at Vanderbilt.

Who cares. Obama hasn't yet started an unwinnable war so he's already better than our previous president.

2. a couch potato

Video games do that too. And so did TV, back when there were shows actually worth watching.

Unfortunately that is often the case.

I tried Spokane once. Rather unremarkable.

I'm not suprised you believe the messiah. Thats probably because you support warfare and welfare too.

I'd bet anything Abe didn'tread the analysis, but only the emotion packed and biassed quotes that are mostly debunked by the very link he is sharing. Proof again of Abe's illiteracy.

Liberals will have environmentalists, working people, gay people, women and minorities.

Conservatives will have the remnants of the KKK, troglodytes, science haters, gold standard crackpots, and the .01%.

Let the games begin!

Piffle. You know that each of these amounts to less than members of the Michigan Militia.

In fact, I challenge you to find any accounting of more than 10 total of voter fraud among undocumented workers or dead people.

Who cares?

If this is a significant issue about Obama, we may be sure he will win in November.

No, the Republicans will have the small business owners who write the paychecks for most Americans.

Yes, and that ratio is about 100 to 1 (owner vs worker). You like those odds? BTW, a "small business" is classified as less than 500 employees

19   beentheredonethat   2012 May 15, 12:46am  

Good for him. There's a time and place for everything, and he did it when it made sense, stopped when it no longer made sense.

Are you denying a major majority of those who run small business, who hire people, who create wealth vote Republican?

I'll go further, a majority of the people who defend this country and our freedoms are also conservatives.

Liberals are talkers. Professors. Government workers. School teachers with summers off. Reporters who live in their parents basements until they are 40.

You know it.

Not all Republicans are racists, but if you're racist your most likely a Republican.

Not all Republicans are God-fearing, bible thumping nimwits who crave telling me how to live my life but if you're a God-fearing, bible thumping nimwits who craves telling me how to live my life you're probably a Republican.

Not all Republicans are war mongers who have no problem wasting trillions of dollars on pointless wars that do nothing to make us safer but if your a war monger who has no problem wasting trillions of dollars on pointless wars that do nothing to make us safer your probably a Republican.

Got about 10 more of these. Democrats can be douches too, but Republicans take the cake.

You know it.

80 percent of the small business owners who pay for this country are Republicans. Folks who have to actually live in reality.

U R probably right. And when these moms and pops will get crushed by a walmart incarnate, it will be truly poetic justice!

True to a point. From a "first law of thermodynamics" perspective, the workers are doing all the work. But all of that work must be organized to be useful. That's the "second law" of thermodynamics. The business owners and managers are responsible for converting "heat" into "useful work."

Yes, but they are still not doing much.

It is quite easy for a few people to work together without the aid of full-time management.

Depending on the type of work a full-time manager cannot actually directly manage that many people, perhaps 5-20. After that you start needing foremen, assistant managers, etc.

A CEO of a 70,000 person company is still only converting the "heat" of 5-10 people into "useful work". A huge amount of work is getting done "underneath" them, and would still get done if the CEO were to go away.

23   freak80   2012 May 15, 4:26am  

I'm not sure I'd want to invest in a company with no hierarchy whatsoever. But yes, some companies have excessive management (like in the movie Office Space).

Depends on the business. Having run a small business (commercial general contracting) with an average of about 10 employees. There is no way in hell that my employees that did the field work could deal with the business aspects of the contracting business or organize and even do the field work without supervision. These were excellent trades people but not everyone is capable of organizational skills. Regarding management not working as hard as the workers, again it depends. In my business yes the workers worked physically harder but I put in many more hours and endured far more stress than they did.

Spoken like someone who's never made it past factory floor level. Everyone else' job is always easy, especially if they make more money than you, right?

If you've spent time as both the front end producer, as well as the manager, you quickly see that most front line people are commodities. It's the management that makes or breaks a business.

Entry level employees are particularly unproductive. We expect a programmer will be a net cost to us for the first 18 to 24 months. A senior level guy is worth 25 entry level employees. Even after they are trained, a senior employee that can manage is worth twice his non-management twin with the same technical skills.

Management is incredibly difficult, stressful, and absolutely VITAL to success. Only natural that most aren't that great at it.

Besides, aren't most managers the best producers? Or at least they used to be, and now teach/lead/coach their team into profits?

You are listening to too many Democrat lies. This opinion drastically contrasts everything I've seen in the business world.

Definitely. I tried management once. I didn't care for it at all. It's "herding cats." Even with the perks it still sucked.

Maybe the latter attitude is the reason for the former problem. A GOOD manager would never view anyone as a commodity, but as an asset to grow the business. A good manager would have systems in place and trusted well trained subordinates that would allow them to step away on occasion. Stepping out once and a while is essential to developing a broader view.

Yes I've spent time on both sides. Very successfully. I never thought of anyone under me as a commodity.

Perhaps I phrased it poorly, I did not mean that management was not working as hard as "workers", but not that much harder than workers say per hour worked. Often sole proprietors have to put in a shitload more hours just to keep their business afloat.

Yes, management is a different skill set.

Yes I agree ones employees, the good ones, are assets others can be or become definite liabilities but I never considered employees as commodities.

Regarding being able to step away from the business it can take time to develop the scale of business and employee base that can operate for a time without supervision from the top. This of course would vary by the type of business. In the construction biz everyone that is not "building in the field" is overhead. Small mistakes can cost tens of thousands to correct and piss off the architect and your clients so sometimes it is not a simple thing to just leave for a week. It took me years to get my business to that point.

Cloud if you are feeling that your sexual fantasies are weird remember that 90% of people are shocked and disgusted by the sexual proclivities of 90% of people.

You do appear to have a well thought out and detailed fantasy. However, I would have to agree that it is a bit weird for you to share it here with us.

Like I said, you need to get laid.
