Penn Jillette comments at length and with great anger that Obama nonchalantly talked about drug use in college and yet continues to enforce federal drug laws. Penn rants that Obama wouldn't be nearly so nonchalant about it if he was treated like those of the lower classes who would have served jail time for the same actions and been left with a permanent record that would make them nearly unemployable and certainly never able to go into politics.
That's an interesting selection effect - only those will be elected to high office who have never been targeted by the War on Drugs or escaped without a scratch.
Obama's drug use happened in high school, not college. At the time he was living with his grandparents in Hawaii and attending Punahou School, an elite private school, on scholarship.
It's even worse in Russia. Like most things. (Not that I'm unpatriotic.)
