Obama needs to admit his role in tragic events
Edited on Thu Mar-13-08 09:05 PM by Boojatta
Obama must have known that musicians have died from drug overdoses. Did that stop Obama from listening to their music? If Obama had done the right thing and refused to listen to their music, then the musicians would have earned less and had less money to spend on self-destruction. Many of those musicians might still be alive today, were it not for Obama's reckless listening habits.

This issue goes far beyond overdoses of illegal drugs. What about alcohol and tobacco? They also claim lives. By listening to music composed or performed by people who drink or smoke, Obama is sending a message to young people that drinking and smoking will not prevent them from being musical super-stars. He is encouraging young people to act on their worst impulses.

Did Obama listen to music produced by one of these self-destructive musical super-stars and then buy a product that was advertised before or after the music? We don't know. Manufacturers have a choice: either make financial contributions to suicidal musicians or go bankrupt. Of course, it is very convenient for Obama that we are forced to merely speculate about this matter. Perhaps Obama hasn't shredded his financial records, but can we trust him to manager a trillion-dollar budget if he has demonstrated that he is incapable of keeping track of his own small personal spending?

What did he listen to on the radio? When did he listen to it? And did he buy any of the products advertised? These are the questions that Obama will not answer. That's simply not good enough. Americans deserve an answer.

2. Obama smoked until recently. That is a patent endorsement of the 400,000/yr deaths from tobacco.

11. Tobacco companies would have discontinued their product
and developed an environmentally-friendly alternative to gasoline, but they stayed in the tobacco business because of Obama.
