it doesnt matter what obama claims he wants to do with drug policy. you need to lead by example not with big promises. his first years in the white house have clearly shown what we will get with obama. more of the same

What would you do if you were president? Keep in mind that there are consequences (both intended and unintended) for acting too hastily and drastically. Consider the role the drug trade plays in the Mexican economy, the rate at which immigration from Mexico would increase, the alternative to drugs that the cartels would capitalize on, etc.
Also consider the immense political opposition and the legislative processes that your efforts would have to be channeled through.
What would you do by yourself as president, and how swiftly would you do it?

That's the main reason it can't happen.
