Why did Obama get away with the commission of a felony (Cocaine use)?

Question by Nov-2010-Get here already!: Why did Obama get away with the commission of a felony (Cocaine use)?
Are Democrats OK with Obama smoking crack and getiing high in the White House?

Obama simply says “I did.” He also admits to cocaine use and that he thought about using heroine. He goes on. “It’s not something that I’m proud of, but that’s part of the journey that I’ve taken. I like to think that by letting people know the mistakes I’ve made that maybe young people behind me are looking and saying ‘You know what? This is a guy who made mistakes and he was able to write his life and get on track.’ And that’s I think an important message.”

EDIT: Last time I checked, simply saying something does not count as a crime.

Sorry bub, but, Last time I checked, simply saying something does count as a crime; it’s called a confession.

When it comes to drugs, you need a little thing called “evidence”, namely the drug itself or knowing who a person buys drugs from or sell drugs to.
