PEOTUS Barack Obama launched change.gov to increase and encourage public participation in his transition efforts.
Just recently, the site had a Q%A solicitation: what are your questions for Obama?
What do imagine was the Number One question people asked when they had the chance?
Hmmmm???
Go on... take a guess. It won't hurt.
Hint: I am posting this with glee.
Make the jump.
From a newspaper
People submitting questions in this Online event seem to identify the legalization of medical marijuana and marijuana overall, as a top priority.
Oh Gasp!
That can't be right can it? Click here read, and weep.
Number.
Friggin'.
One.
Obama's team stated, "Participation in Open for Questions outpaced our expectations, and we're looking forward to rolling it out again next week. We're tremendously excited about the promise of tools like this that offer Americans a level of access that has historically been hard to come by."
By voting questions up, users have been able to convey to the team which major issues -- including the auto industry, health care, ethical standards, and others -- are the most important to this community.
Here's the verbatim text from the site:
Currently in the lead: "Will you consider legalizing marijuana so that the government can regulate it, tax it, put age limits on it, and create millions of new jobs and create a billion dollar industry right here in the U.S.?"
- S. Man, Denton
There you have it.
Despite the constant assurances of "kossacks" that "marijuana reform is just NOT IMPORTANT" here we see it being only the Number One Question people want to ask Obama.
Ha. Ha.
Are YOU right with the times?
Or are YOU still a backwards old stick in the mud?
Relegalize cannabis.
