Obama and Medical Marijuana

[PFlynn]

Less than two days. That's how long it took ex-President Bush's
cronies inside the federal government to strike out at President Obama
and use taxpayer money to undermine him.

Last Thursday the DEA raided a medical marijuana dispensary in
California, putting the lives of cancer, HIV/AIDS and other patients
at risk.

But we can show President Obama that the American people will
stand with him in this fight.

As you may know, President Obama promised on the campaign trail to end the Bush administration's cruel and costly raids on medical marijuana patients and caregivers in states where marijuana is legal for medical use. He's in the process of replacing Bush officials who are the
source of the problem, but that takes time.

Quite frankly, what the Bush loyalists inside the DEA did in South Lake Tahoe is the equivalent of giving President Obama the finger.

Now is our chance to urge President Obama to protect at-risk
patients. If he doesn't stand up forcefully to Bush's cronies, they will continue to undermine his presidency. And
terminally ill patients will suffer.

I don't think "Bush Cronies" goes to the heart of the matter.

A bureaucracy by nature seeks ways to grow and find jobs to justify its continued existence. Anti-cannabis zealots are true believers.

Put the two together and you get the run away train we've got now at ONDCP.
