"Pot is the new gay marriage"

While both said Obama had done well, neither thought he would really make it as a professional comedian, and Maher found one of Obama’s jokes to be offensive.

“Now here’s the joke,” Maher said. “It was a good joke, but it bothered me a little. He said, ‘The media landscape is changing so rapidly you can’t keep up with it. I remember when BuzzFeed was just something I did in college around 2:00 a.m.’ And that pissed me off because, you know, there are actually people in jail. There are something like 750,000 people who get arrested for pot every year. This president wouldn’t be president if they had caught him, if that was on his record…He’d still be a community organizer. I just wonder when he’s going to get the memo that pot is the new gay marriage.”
