Clinton camp reveals evidence of drug use in Obama's past. Of course Obama already admitted this in a book in 1995.

A top adviser to Hillary Rodham Clinton's campaign said Wednesday that Democrats should give more thought to Sen. Barack Obama's admissions of illegal drug use before they pick a presidential candidate.

You know in this day and age, 40 years after the "Summer of Love", I would be suspicious of anybody who DID NOT admit to some experimentation with drugs.

I mean if you are a relatively social person you are going to be confronted with the opportunity to try a little pot, peyote, heroin, cocaine, or acid. You may skip the opportunity, which is fine, or you may imbibe, which is understandable as well. If you become an addict and engage in a criminal activities to support your all consuming habits, well that is Darwinism at work. But if you try it and then decide to stop and become a productive member of society, then you have demonstrated a strength of character that sets you apart from a large number of the population. And that is to be applauded.

Far from being a negative, I feel Obama's past drug use should be placed front and center in his campaign literature. Especially since he did not swap out an addiction to cocaine for an addiction to fundamentalist Christianity.

I mean a crutch is a crutch.
