Was The President Snortin' Cocaine Again?

[Cammmpbell]

Just curious....how many American lives do you suppose Bin Laden was responsible for ending after this little episode? This was the president's position in March 2002.......a few months after 9/11.

Here's What Cocaine Does To The Human Body
Nov. 4, 2014, Last week Wall Street found that it had another cocaine-fueled scandal on its hands when an investment banker's ex-wife accused her husband of intense drug abuse.

Less than a week later, a banker in Hong Kong was arrested as a suspect in the murder of two prostitutes. Police found a small amount of cocaine in his home. This isn't necessarily everyday stuff, but it wasn't much of a shock, either. Cocaine has been an illicit way for bankers to keep up with clients, parties, and long hours for decades. That has its consequences, though. Cocaine can harm numerous parts of the human body, from your nasal passages to your sexual stamina. No small thing.

Cocaine sparks euphoria and heightens your senses.

For most casual cocaine users, stimulation belies the drug's consumption. According to the National Institute of Drug Abuse (NIDA), cocaine sparks euphoria and mental alertness, especially to sight, touch, and sound. The faster the drug is absorbed by the bloodstream, the more intense the effect and the shorter it lasts.

It triggers the part of your brain responsible for addictive behavior.

University of Michigan neuropsychologists found that repeated cocaine use resulted in a hyper-responsive dopamine system, making the drug hard for the brain to ignore. Dopamine, the chemical in the brain responsible for just about any addictive behavior, is triggered when one is engaged in any deeply pleasurable activity.

It's so addictive you can crave it by watching others do it.

Dr. Nora Volkow, the director of NIDA and the one of country's preeminent experts on addiction, found that dopamine levels jumped even if cocaine addicts were simply watching videos of people using the drug.

It is potentially lethal because it restricts blood to the heart.

Bush; "The idea of focusing on one person is......um.........indicates that the people don't understand the scope of the mission. Terror is bigger than one person."

Reminds me of politics in 2014. Seems the LD Bush was smart for a few seconds during his Presidency.

This is where the attacks on Bush conflict with the attacks on Obama and the thinkers start noticing flaws in the system.

^ I state the above but watch your video of Bush speaking and get furious of the small brains that still defend him and more importantly want to vote for his family in the future........It's a sad time in 'Merica.

My children can answer a question better than that puppet.

Bush was a very good president given all the problems he was called on to solve.
That people still want to tear him down is testimony to their small mindedness and stupidity.

The left need an outlet for their hate, which explains most of their obsession with Palin. Dem's wanted to regain power and if that meant tearing down Bush and the economy and the war well yes they will and did stoop that low. And their hypocrisy and double standards these past 6 years has been mind boggling. They tarred and feathered Bush for an unemployment rate a fraction of Obama's. They tarred and feathered him on his deficits meanwhile its crickets about Obama's which are 2-3 times the size. The weekly body count from the wars? Its odd they stopped reporting that as soon as Obama was sworn in.
