If he thought there was enough money to be gained (see gay marriage "evolution") or enough votes he needed to curry (see immigration prosecutorial discretion decision), it would be done. Although Obama often invokes the phrase "it's the right thing to do" while presenting these policy moves, it's pretty clear that actually giving a damn about the issue was never a factor. Indeed.

This is just another example of what an administration can get away with if they sport the "D" brand.

The federal government has clearly been targeting the best known, well-run, and politically active dispensaries." The Obama administration claims that up is down, black is white, the moon is made of green cheese, and that if you just clap hard enough, and with enough hope and change in your heart, Tinker Bell won't die. Thanks, Obama, for channeling Nixon and for keeping Harry J. Anslinger's zombie well fed. “While the Obama administration claims it is only going after medical marijuana dispensaries that are violating state medical marijuana laws, those claims simply don’t fit their pattern of behavior.
