he was treated the same way most lower class drug users are. They receive no punishment and eventually grow up and do fine in life.
1) I think the op knows that, and maybe what he’s saying is more like: isn’t that people don’t care about drug use, they like their tribal leaders to be “effective” rule breakers. An Obama who never did drugs might be less popular and less cool.
2) I assume you’re saying that ‘treated the same way’ means not caught. Most poor and rich escape being caught, but that is very different than equal treatment once caught.
2 - also in agreement. In the video Penn mentions a couple times that if Obama had been caught he’d be screwed, which is absolutely laughable. He would have been let off with a wink and a nod, due to his elite status. But I didn’t want to side-track the post.
