12:21 p.m. ET: President Obama, the pot smoker?
ABC's Jon Karl reports: Unlike Bill Clinton, Barack Obama never tried to say he didn't inhale.
In his 1995 memoir "Dreams of My Father," Obama writes about smoking pot almost like Dr. Seuss wrote about eating green eggs and ham. As a high school kid, Obama wrote, he would smoke "in a white classmate's sparkling new van," he would smoke "in the dorm room of some brother" and he would smoke "on the beach with a couple of Hawaiian kids."
He would smoke it here and there. He would smoke it anywhere.
