Pres. Obama could host Ceremony for ex-Drug Dealers

One of my personal hopes for President-Elect Barack Obama's tenure in the White House is this:

Obama can become the very first U.S. President to preside over a uniquely innovative type of Rose Garden ceremony on White House grounds in Washington, D.C.

It will be a public ceremony where 20 to 50 former illicit-drug dealers in the United States who have each "gone straight" and been consistently law-abiding for at least 10 consecutive years, and who have each assisted law-enforcement agencies seeking to deter illicit-drug activities anywhere in the world, will each be publicly praised and handed an award by President Obama.

That public ceremony in our nation's capital will give President Obama the opportunity to eloquently and elegantly respond to those many Americans who have criticized Obama as being "soft on drugs."

The proposed media event will also respond briliantly to skeptical observers who've speculated (whether rightly or wrongly) that Obama won the 2008 election because he received nearly all the votes of the millions of illicit-drug addicts and illicit-drug dealers throughout the U.S. who were registered.

The proposed Rose Garden ceremony will be a truly sensational televised mass-media event providing invaluable propaganda in the refreshingly righteous War Against Drugs occurring throughout the United States, and throughout the entire world.
