Yep, that's an actual headline from Conservative bible The Drudge Report. Your eyes do not deceive you, that is the President, speaking to a bunch of black schoolkids, followed by the headline "HIGH TIMES: OBAMA TO ISSUE NEW MARIJUANA POLICY". As of 4pm EST, the image is still up there.
Can someone please explain to me what in the hell reading to a class of 8 year olds has to do with drug policy?
I know this sorta stuff is par for the course over there, which is why I don't mess with Drudge, but I find it pretty appalling in this political climate that someone would make such an inference. As much hell as folks raised about The Balloon Boy, I'd be equally incensed that a photo of innocent kids is associated with such an unrelated story, as well as what inference it might be making.
Post-racial my black a$$.
Wonder what "Magic Mike" Steele will say about this one. I'm emailing him for opinion.
Question: Why is such foolishness tolerated by the GOP and its associates?!?
