real mature guys, real mature

This clip pulls the issue of legalizing marijuana into our real lives. I could post on my blog for months about legalizing pot, but seeing President Obama speak about the issue solidifies that it is being debated and talked about beyond the world of Lacey LaPlant. What thoughts were evoked when you watched this clip? Personally, I think this clip is degrading the issue of legalizing pot because the president himself and the crowd find the topic humorous. President Obama says that the question of legalizing pot was the most voted on question to ask Obama and he makes a joke hinting that the internet voters were pot heads. The entire crowd finds this topic hilarious and I honestly think the crowd and President Obama’s reaction appalling. The issue of legalizing marijuana is serious and if people keep acting the way they are, unable to talk about pot without cracking up, our country will make no advances in solving the problems associated with the prohibition of marijuana. Obama simply answers the question with a no; I know that he is an educated man and I wish he would back up his position with evidentiary support.
