the framework that president obama is putting forward in this document is eerily similar, in some ways the exact same language as the kennedy commission in 1963 put forward when jack kennedy was looking for a whole new approach to drugs. and that language is, we want to be softer on the addict or the person with the substance use disorder but we don't want an all-out militant drug war. as long as you're supporting a regime of prohibition, the kinds of promises that we're getting from the obama add mrpgs and that we got from jack kennedy are fa seal promises and can't be delivered upon. >> i want to play this, matt. this is president obama in mexico recognizing the kind of market relationship and international market relationship. let's take a listen and i'll have you respond. >> the united states, we recognize our spoblts. we recognize that the root cause of violence happening here in mexico for which so many mexicans has suffered.
