Recreational drug use by the president

Hold the president of the US to a lower standard than professional athletes? If alcohol/drugs are performance enhancing or recreational it doesn't matter. Mind altered is a dangerous state for a world leader.

give the guy or gal a break

In response to previous posts below: To think that the president has to always be alert 24/7 for 4 years is unreasonable--What about sleeping? Being awakened in the middle of the night to deal with an urgent matter, for example, might find the President as equally impaired as say one or two drinks.
And don't you think it would be unrealistic to think that the President would go the whole 4 years without ever taking a break from his or her job duties.

Under the Influence

I absolutely agree with the poster below. This is a incredibly demanding job. Can you imagine Camp David, vacation and Mr. President is high or drunk and an attack on our country occurs. I don't think he would be to alert to deal witht he situation at hand. Not saying that some substances should be legalized, but I guess you sacrifice some to become president by working a job that is 24/7 for 4 years or better.
