The Hullabaloo over Barack Obama!

Presidential candidates always seem to get into controversy. It’s the position they hold that people find little things to talk about! Today Barack Obama said he drank and tried drugs in his teen days. Oh well, big deal! In this era, who doesn’t? As long as its not done to the extreme to jeopardize one’s existence, his confession should just be ignored.

Now we have all the major news channels talking about him and his experiments as a teenager. They say he wouldn’t be a good example to the current youngsters, they fear that the kids will now ‘think’ that even they could drink and run for the President of the USA and blah blah blah!

At least Obama did not deprive himself of the fun and pleasure as a youngster. He can actually relate to his experiences and advise the future generation about damages drugs can cause or consequences one would have to face due to alcoholism!

I’m not campaigning for him! May the best candidate become the President! However, such petty details should not be the main reason to judge his presidential capability!
