I absolutely despise Romney's views on social issues, but I remembered that no President ever really legislates on social issues. Bush could've overturned Roe v. Wade or passed a Constitutional ban on gay marriage, but he didn't. Obama could've legalized gay marriage or made pot legal or whatever, but he didn't.

That isn't true.

How so?


Remeber how he helped repeal DADT, and is still blocking the war on women?


Presidents govern on social issues all the time.

The reasons why Obama wouldn't get weed legalized are-
a. he doesn't want to, and
b. even if he did, he couldn't get legislation to do that passed through the Congress.

He did have a super-majority for two years...

That's more of a state issue.  Besides, a lot of Dems in congress don't support the legalization of pot (even those who aren't blue dogs).  Tongue
