File under "A Second Opinion." Penn Jillette of Penn/Teller fame speaks out against Obama's war on drugs.

According to reports at Fox News,  Penn Jillette has never done drugs
or so much as taken a drink. This atheist Libertarian has plenty to say 
about Obama's use of drugs, his drug policies.  By the way,  Jillette mirrors
Libertarian dogma in working to liberalize the law as to the possession of recreational drugs.  His argument in this video,  is a rather novel one.  Penn argues that had Obama been caught prosecuted under the same laws he (Obama) supports,  he would have never gotten into the high dollar schools he managed to enter, had the opportunity to write and sell books nor would be be president, today.  


Text from video: 
What troubles me about this... I think it's beyond hypocrisy. I think it's something to do with class. A lot of people have accused Obama of class warfare, but in the wrong direction. I believe this is Obama chortling with Jimmy Fallon about lower class people. Do we believe, even for a second, that if Obama had been busted for marijuana -- under the laws that he condones -- would his life have been better? If Obama had been caught with the marijuana that he says he uses, and 'maybe a little blow'... if he had been busted under his laws, he would have done hard f*cking time. And if he had done time in prison, time in federal prison, time for his 'weed' and 'a little blow,' he would not be President of the United States of America. He would not have gone to his fancy-a** college, he would not have sold books that sold millions and millions of copies and made millions and millions of dollars, he would not have a beautiful, smart wife, he would not have a great job. He would have been in f*cking prison, and it's not a god damn joke. People who smoke marijuana must be set free. It is insane to lock people up.
