Is Obama smart enough to end the drug war?

Still had a tab on this site, and found this article. Here's hoping that many we can get pot decriminalized, if not legalized entirely. The government could use the tax money, and we need to stop jailing these people.

But as the article says: with Biden around, is that really gonna happen?

Biden's still just the VP.

Decriminalizing pot would be sweet. I'm totally down for that.

Yes, second in command. And if he's against it that much, you don't think that'll have an affect on Obama?

Maybe not. Cheney had the most power and influence of any VP in American history. I think you're used to thinking of VPs as the Cheney kind, when he was an exception.

Has a president ever been completely against his VP? We're talking a complete 180 from what Biden has done in the past here

And what about Bush Sr. as VP?

Was Cheney for gay marriage?

She was heavily criticized for not speaking up about same-sex marriage and such during the 2000 and 2004 Elections, but at the same time she's never been at odds with her father as far as I know, or should I say the media is aware, she even wrote a book about it in 2006.
