Cain under Rain ..of fire

Current presidential Republican candidate, Herman Cain, is being accused, yet again, that he has been unfaithful to his wife. The most recent claim came from a women named Ginger White, who claims that they have had a thirteen year relationship. Cain has done nothing but deny the fact that he has done anything with any of the women that have accused him of similar things. Which I believe is now three women that have accused him?


Cain stated that he will be "reassessing" his candidacy strategy after this claim. He's worried that these allegations against him will create "too much of a cloud, in some people's minds, as to whether or not they would be able to support us going forth." All of this can pass over, or not. This could be enough allegations against him for people to look the other way and decide not to support Cain any longer. He's been accused of sexual harassment, and now it seems to be becoming a trend for him to be accused of having affairs. 


Personally I don Not think that these allegations against him should affect his campaign and whether people support him or not. And for the record, I'm not a supporter of his. I just think people should look at his presidential claims and whether he can, I don't know, fix the economy? People shouldn't focus on his personal life. Saying that, if the allegations are true, I don't think he should lie about it. Again though, I think that's his personal life. Clinton lied under oath about his affair and what not, and people didn't like him and still don't, but he was a great president. A really great president, and most people know that. But more people know him for cheating, and lying. I just think American's should focus on what a presidential candidate would do as a president and base their support and decision of their vote on that. That's what I'm going to do. Can we just bring Bill Clinton back?

When are we going to legalize this?

I read a post by Ethan Nadelmann from The New York Times called Reefer Madness. He talks about how many states now are legalizing marijuana for medical use. There are medical dispensaries that supply the mary jane and it is regulated by the state and local law and is taxed. However, is still completely illegal under Federal law. He talks about how the Treasury Department has done everything in their power to close down the marijuana business's that are operating Legally under state law. The Federal Government is doing everything to keep marijuana illegal, even though President Obama defended the use of medical marijuana during his election, and even though 70% of the United States are for it being legal.
Obama hasn't done anything to stop what the Fedral Government is doing even though he said to be for the use of medical marijuana. It seems like he wants it to stay the same.
I think Ethan Nadelmann makes a really good argument here. I mean, he is the executive director of the Drug Policy Alliance. He's really not giving much of his opinion on the matter, whether he thinks mary jane should ultimately be legal or not. He shows us the facts. He points out that the majority of Americans are for marijuana becoming legal, but that doesn't change much. He tells us how there are business's that are legal under the states rights, those business's are playing are important role in the local economy, creating new and legal jobs, and contributing to the tax bases. However there are still Federal busts that close down these businesses. The big thing that he points out to us, and what I like most is the fact that during Obama's election he showed to favor the use of medical marijuana and it being legal. However, throughout his presidency, his actions have shown otherwise. He needs to step up now and defend what he initially said and protect the state and local rights of having medical marijuana legalized.
I agree with the point he's making in this post. The Federal Government should protect states rights and not abuse there powers and harm individuals. It's the states right to have it legalized and it does a lot of good for the local community to have these business's. Also, 70 percent of Americans are for it becoming legal, and that percentage is growing. Something needs to change.
