Obama tried cocaine, but he didn't inhale

The Washington Post today brings up the issue of Barack Obama's candor on the subject of drug use. He tried cocaine and marijuana. It's all in his book, "Dreams from my Father," which he wrote when he was in law school and not running for anything, such as president.

Most of time, presidential candidates who write books do not include the parts where they rowdy, drunken college students. Instead, they tend to focus on the parts where they were heroic, thoughtful or really, really great for some reason.

So will Obama's admitted drug use be a campaign issue? Experts weigh in in the Post article.

Can I still work for him at some point or is that going to be damaging to my, i mean our, career(s)?
