    But what about when he was Bill Clinton's big antidrug hero?

    Barry McCaffrey is partly the creation of the reefer madness maniacs in the Clinton administration.

    They helped raise him up to national prominence. Clinton made him the Drug Czar and the media treated every word that came out of his lying mouth as gospel moral truth.

    Because drugs are bad -- therefore Barry McCaffrey must be good, right?

    So this man is their shame too. Shame on them. And shame on their future influence in the Obama administration as well.

    I hope Obama doesn't end up creating his own Barry McCaffrey. Only time will tell. Right now the signs are not looking so good.
