Oh come on you're smarter than that aren't you? GWB is now 58 yrs old! His father was president from 1988-1992..a total of 4 yrs. If you count the fact that he was sworn in on January 20th 1989 then that would make him 43. However, I'm going on the time his dad was elected. Either way, 42 or 43 doesn't matter. He should have been setting an example. I'm even being nice about it and giving him the benefit of the doubt that he did it the first year his dad was president. Now, if you subtract 2004-1988 you get 16. If you subtract 16 from his current age of 58 you will get 42. Now if you want proof that he has in fact "snorted" coc aine just rely on old speeches, he admitted to it. Either way you look at it he wasn't a youth now was he?

lady V, no offense, but you are starting to sound like a republican....
because you are not listening to the proof that you keep asking for.
The entire board is telling you that he does not deny the coc aine use... he admitted to it in the last election... he had said he hadn't done it in years... i don't recall him giving an exact date of his stopping. but i will say this, he said he also quit drinking and he was photographed and videod with an alcholic drink in his hands, during the last election, on his plane (he is obviously tippsy as well) ... His sister in Law is making the assertion that he used coc aine as late as his fathers election. As the math already shows... he was all growed up and a big boy... capable of taking credit for his actions...
I think what they are trying to say (as well as his hypocrasy) is he still doing it? He could be... and if he is, it is a most valid question. he ought to be drug tested. If anyone else is applying for a sensitive position, they require a drug test... especially if they admit to having a previous habit (already proven) and in that case, they usually give random ones after that.
You just have to understand that Bill Clinton faced the same accusations and the media never really picked up on it.
Libertarian leaning writer, Larry Elder on the subject:
Quite simply, the media did not pursue the far stronger allegations of Clinton coc aine use with the intensity shown in the case of George W. Bush. Several people have claimed that Bill Clinton used coc aine, including Gennifer Flowers, his former mistress. And, in 1984, an Arkansas police detective recorded Clinton�s brother, Roger, doing coke, and saying, "I�ve got to get some for my brother. He�s got a nose like a Hoover vacuum cleaner."
I'm not sure of the validity of this site, but hey, it wouldn't matter if it were about Bush:
source "I hear you deliver a hell of a one liner, " Clinton replied, cryptically referring to coc aine and NOT Houston's so-called comedy routine. "I'm always aspiring to achieve new heights."
"Well, come on in," Houston invited. "I have enough (coc aine) to put us all into orbit." I walked into the dressing room with them as Houston was saying to Clinton, "I suppose there are no limits for you since you're across the (state) line."
To tie it up, I realize that Bill Clinton is in the past, but it's relevant because he's the still the darling of the Dem's. If he can use coke back in his day, there's no reason for Bush to be criticized for it, and vice versa. I'm sure a lot of our leaders have at least dabbled in the stuff.
Deny Ignorance everyone, it snows year round in DC!!

The questions of Bush using coc aine or any other illegal substance is very logical as far as the campaign goes.
Bush proposed a 2.8 billion dollar bill for the war on drugs. Don't you find that a little hypocritical? He used an illegal substance at age 43. Perhaps if it was 18 or even 21 I might be able to understand the "youth" excuse, but he wasn't even close to being a youth.
Cocaine is a Schedule II drug in the U.S. Controlled Substances Act. It is illegal to grow, process, sell or use coc aine or crack.
I don't think it should be swept under the table like many pf the other not so legal actions of our President.
