Subscribe to RSSNBC’s Carrie Dann reports: Appearing on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart last night, the First Lady didn't directly address her husband's drug use in his youth, but she did describe him "buckling down" after the death of his father. Asked by Stewart about recent reports that sound like "a Cheech and Chong movie," Mrs. Obama said that by the time her husband transferred to Columbia University, "like so many young people he realized that he could do more with his life ... I think when he lost his father that was one of those click-in moments, and he really buckled down."
“[A] health insurance tax credit for small businesses, part of President Barack Obama's health care law that gets strong support in public opinion polls, has turned out to be a disappointment,” AP writes. “Time-consuming to apply for and lacking enough financial reward to make it attractive, the credit was claimed by only 170,300 businesses out of a pool of as many as 4 potentially eligible million companies in 2010. That's put the Obama administration in the awkward position of asking Congress to help fix the problems by allowing more businesses to qualify and making it simpler to apply. But Republicans who run the House say they want to repeal what they call ‘Obamacare,’ not change it.”

that will have to wait until 1-13 when dems have control again!
Many have got into drugs, but the difference is how you pull yourself out and say no. Obviously Obama did it well - and quit the habit.
Now that he is Prez he gets way better quality weed than the old days at Columbia University. By the way "intercepting" is bad form and is generally considered a "douche bag move".
96ws6 - no you however are a "douche bag move."
Seeking,
Truth hurt? Or did I offend you because you too are an "interceptor"?
96ws6 - I guess the truth about you hurt. The "interceptor" is just so childish. But the douche bag correctly sums you up!
Actually I have read your posts and douche bag sums your narrow minded blind party following up quite well.
Seekingsanity
If obama cut of your nuts and fed them to you, you would still be in love with him. 96 is right, you so blindly follow your party you are incapable of independent thinking. Perhaps your incapacity for thought is WHY you blindly follow your party.
Idiots that blindly follow a parties are exactly why this country is in so much trouble.
If he "buckled down" at Columbia, why not reveal his grades ? Let's see if Obama had any courses in basic accounting or economics or even .... finance. Let's see if he took courses in radical political sociology or ideology.
Show us your records Mr. Obama. Surely, you have nothing to hide !
Doubt we will ever see those college transcripts and certainly not before the election is over. Gosh no, People may actually start to think someone with a .9 average shouldn't be running the country! Actually, it probably wouldn't matter, how much more proof do you need that an idiot is running our country?
Jim 1455434--You first! 96ws--don't recall any other candidates from whom you demanded proof of intelligence. Tho it's true that graduating has no ironclad guarantee. What's your pedigree?
I would like to see every candidates college records. You ask for them when you hire someone to work at your company. Isn't it logical to want to see them for someone who is running for election or who is in charge of the most powerful country in the world? What's the big deal? If there is nothing to hide why not show them? I don't think it is to much to ask of someone running for president and that includes Flip.
You don't get grades for pot smoking, it is supposed to be a recreational thing.
When you're losing the argument and the election you lie, like the three above. You guys are entertaining though.
MO WTF is with you always accusing people of lying? Obama publicly admitted he smoked pot OK? Didn't you know your savior admitted smoking pot? Maybe you should research before calling people liars if you don't know the facts. Here is a little help for you:
