best president money can buy..Its hard being Obama. If you were him I am sure you could all do better but I couldnt. You see he needs help. Dont you think his heart is in the right place? Dont you think that he can think clearly about all these issues and that he is not deluded by excess religion or extreme views?
I see him as very fine indeed but thats just my opinion. I really like him and I really liked Bill Clinton too. I didnt abandon him when he got busted either.
Be patient brothers and do elect democrats to office to help Obama. How would you like his job? My dad told me he would never be the Pres. even if everyone wanted him to. Think of the hatred he exposed his family to when he agreed to take the reins of a failing economy and a hostile, deluded republican orgy.
Can you see good from evil? I think it's really easy so dont lose hope young people.
This is your world and you will take it back with a little help from our friends. They are here and they are coming and change you wouldnt believe will come so soon.
So enjoy this year because it will never be the same again. Enjoy a wonderful year and await the good news to come... BOG

~~~ 41hope, I am with you brother! Sorry BushyOldGrower...monkey5Your insane!
while you may be considered wrong about the DOJ being part of the judicial branch you still try to squirm like there is some way you could be right....
nothing in what you provided suggests the DOJ or AG reports to the SCOTUS.
where is the SCOTUS's latest directive to the AG or the DOJ?
which justice wrote the ogden memo? and the cole?
ohhh wait they came from potus not scotus....
so the potus sends out directives,memos and appoints the department heads. a governmental org chart (provided earlier) lists DOJ as reporting to the executive and your own link says DOJ is an executive branch but you say otherwise...
brilliant!
i prefer MW3
i think trying to apologize for the asshat in chief is def. a game and a sad one at that.
this cocksucker is no better than the last cocksucker and quite possibly worse. he has certainly done more damage to MMJ!
but hey cheer for him if it makes ya feel good.
but do revisit your civics please?
I agree wholeheartedly with the bulk of BOG's comment. If people recall there were times where racist comments were made by other politicians during speeches. And when everything and anything you try and do gets dissected and argued the way his plans are, nothings going to get done. I have never seen a Pres take the abuse and srutiny this man has........ Anyways.......
Politicians know there are billions of dollars passing hands and the most of this is not being taxed in any manner. They saw when 19 failed what a lot of people wanted. And that was to continue making a lot of money without paying in much in taxes. Yes, some dispensories pay tax, but the bulk of people aren't. And in a way is it fair? Is it fair to the $60,000 a year teacher to pay in $10 to $15,000 in taxes and the guy selling Cannabis is making $100,000 and paying in nothing? Sure, none of us like paying taxes. But at the same time States and Countries don't run for free.
So, what is it some of you want? I'll tell you what you want. You want Cannabis to stay illegal but you want the med scene to remain untouched so you can continue to make a lot of money and let other people pay the taxes. You told the Feds this when you pushed for 19 to fail. And now after you vote down legalization on a State level you want to blame Obama for everything. What's he supposed to do? What did you give him to work with?
And be careful when you wish him out of the big house. Because you may get your wish. You better remember what it was like six years ago. And you have another Republican now that thinks people should do life in prison for two Cannabis offenses. And you can say things are worse now than they were six years ago and I'll tell you bullshit. And who knows where the Country and the world would be headed had 19 passed. But we'll never know.
So keep blaming Obama. I guess it's easier than blaming yourselves.....
I have seen you close down threads for being less political than your statement. Get this trash off the site.
You don't tell me what to do. The name of this thread is "Calif. pot dispensaries told by feds to shut down". I sat here and read dozens of pages of people blaming everyone and their brother for this but not blaming themselves. So I'll say it again.
Everybody wants to blame Obama when they themselves fought against legalization if California. What message does that send? The message it sends is the majority of the people in the State of California do not want Cannabis legalized.
Can you people understand this? Cali had the chance to send a clear message to Washington that they wanted Cannabis legal. Instead they sent the opposite message.
Now because some of you chose to try and put words in my mouth on my comments let me make something clear. I am for the legalization of Cannabis. For everyone. I don't feel anyone should be jailed for Cannabis.

You seem to have an interesting memory of the prop 19 debate and the ACTUAL vote 46% for 54% against.
Your statement that the majority of Californians did / don't want legalization is quite misleading (Steve DeAngelo, now withstanding).
Obama is the HEAD of the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. It is fairly understandable that the HEAD of the FED would catch some blame in a thread titled "FEDS ORDER SHUT DOWN"
So if CA only HAD a chance to send a message, does that mean YOU don't think Californians have a chance to send a similar message with the "Regulate Like Wine Act?"
Two years ago there was a lot of debate and complaints about Prop 19 here at ICmag. This year however there seems to be a lot of support and appreciation for the "Regulate Like Wine Act."
So EVEN if you were correct that the majority of Californians didn't want cannabis legalized two years with a REALLY BAD regulatory and CRIMINAL scheme; I feel your pessimism will be dispelled this November.
We both agree that NO ONE should be a criminal because of this flower.
I disagree that 46% of Californians stating they wanted even bad legalization is a sign that CA was against legalization or sending a message to the FED that raids of their MEDICAL facilities would be appreciated. Also the percentage of Californians that favor medical cannabis is well over 70%. How this level of support can be interpreted as pro FEDERAL RAID is beyond my comprehension. Only 9 months until the next vote in CA!
