Reporter:

High Mr. President.  I mean, hello and welcome Mr. President.

President Obama:

Thank you. 

Reporter:

Sir, you recently said that marijuana was not a high priority.

President Obama:

True.  It may be high, just not a priority.

Reporter:

You even said, and I quote, “I have bigger fish to fry.”

Mr. Obama:

True.  But I meant to say, “I have bigger fish to smoke.”

Reporter:

Now that you are President for a second term, is it more likely that you will view more favorably the idea of legalizing marijuana?

Mr. Obama:

Certainly the country could use the tax revenue generated by the legalization of marijuana, and decriminalization is a positive first step.  But I don’t know how ready the Congress is to go down the road of legalization, though I must say, getting some of these Republicans stoned might knock some sense into their heads, and it would help the U.S. economy by increasing the sales of munchies and drinks.

Reporter:

Was that a “yes”?

President Obama:

Yes and No.

 

IT’S ABOUT RENEWABLE RESOURCES!
