Once again the President invites the public to submit questions to him and vote on the most urgent or important ones for him to answer in a live YouTube interview. Once again questions regarding marijuana legalization, the costs of marijuana prisoners, the use of marijuana in medicine, hemp, marijuana and taxes, marijuana and the economy, etc. received far more votes than any other topic. This question from Law Enforcement Against Prohibition was the second highest vote getter.
And once again the President's handlers make sure that the questions are not asked! Indeed, the White House deleted a question from the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws.
Open White House? Pathetic!
UPDATE:
John McWorter at the New York Daily News blasts Google and YouTube for not asking about marijuana, noting that New York City Police are making over 50,000 marijuana arrests per year -- even though marijuana possession was decriminalized as a violation with a maximum $100 fine in 1977.

Obama again ducks questions on marijuana from American Internet public

White House press briefing on marijuana legalization
The White House press corps gets after presidential spokesman Robert Gibbs about marijuana legalization.
Gibbs is utterly unprepared to discuss the issue intelligently. He alternates between making jokes and being dogmatic. He makes a poor impression.
It is painfully clear that as far as the crisis of violence in Mexico goes (or sending 17,000 more American service personnel to Afghanistan's opium poppy fields), the Obama press team has not thought about what the Administration is doing for the nation beyond the most painfully obvious jokes and cliches.
