Senator. Obama: “Well ma'am I uhh, I am familiar with the studies you mentioned and I do agree with you on the uhhh, on the idea that marijuana does have some positive medical uses.

Statement on Harry Reid's Comments

Let's be real here, ladies and gentlemen: The comments that Senator Reid made were just ridiculous. We've got serious issues to talk about here! Meanwhile, he goes off and accuses a colleague of his in the Senate of being a member of the KKK! Give me a break! Harry Reid got his Democratic majority in the Senate last year. I say he should do the American people a favor and drop out of this race so he can focus on the jobs he already has as Senator and Majority Leader. That way, maybe he can stop President Bush's warmongering agenda and do us some good!

"People of America, I know you love my husband, Bill. As President, he helped millions of Americans of all races, genders, and socioeconomic statuses through his social programs and legislation, and I look up to him as a constant inspiration. But now is not about the past. Now is about the future, and how we can get ready for it. America, I am the candidate for the future! I believe that education is one of the most important fundamentals we need to focus on in order to have a better future for America, and that's why I support increased funding for education and higher pay for teachers. I believe that diversity is one of the cornerstones to a successful, prosperous society, and I support initiatives that help our friends in the African-American, Hispanic, Jewish, Muslim, and LGBT communities succeed. I'm ready for Hillary, the future is ready for Hillary, and America is ready for Hillary in 2008!"

Hillary has also spent a lot of this time showing off all of her young minority friends so everyone thinks she is a young minority friend. #youngminorityfriends

This is just the Democratic Primary, you may join as a Democratic Lieberman though. You will have to wait until turn 3 as I am calculating it with the current candidates atm.
