Sununu Lambasts Obama for Hawaii Pot Smoking

Talking Points Memo has this report.

Excerpt:

Former New Hampshire Gov. John Sununu told CNN that he misspoke when he said President Obama needs to “learn to be an American” Tuesday. But he let stand his comments that Obama doesn’t understand America because of his teenage drug use and his time as a grade-schooler in Indonesia. …

“He has no idea how the American system functions,” Sununu told FOX News Tuesday morning. “And we shouldn’t be surprised about that, because he spent his early years in Hawaii smoking something, spent … another set of years in Indonesia.”

Sununu later apologized.
