"You libs make me laugh. You were all over Bush when allegations came up to his drug use yet you give obama a pass on this. Posted by cabo_vato"
Maybe because Obama was honest and upfront about it?
Chicago, IL Rudy Giuliani declared that Americans should not expect a pretense of perfection-- from candidates running for office and says he respects Barack Obamas honesty-- for discussing his previous drug use with a group of high schoolers today.
The Illinois Senator is receiving criticism from Mitt Romney, among others, for opening up and discussing past mistakes during a town hall at a Manchester, NH High School Tuesday.
I made some bad decisions that Ive written about, there were times when I got into drinking and experimented with drugs.. there was a whole stretch of time when i didnt really apply myself a lot,-- Obama told the group.
Giuliani said he believes Obamas topic of conversation was completely appropriate.
I respect his honesty in doing that. I think that one of the things we need from our people who are running for office is not this pretense of perfection,-- Giuliani said. The reality is all of us that run for public office, whether its governor, legislator, mayor, presidentwe are all human beings. If we havent made mistakes dont vote for us cause we got some big ones that are gonna happen in the future and we wont know how to handle them.-- cameron.blogs.foxnews.com
