Considering President Obama failed to keep his medical marijuana promises, it seems odd to many that the Commander in Chief recently turned to actors Kal Penn and John Cho—known from the Harold & Kumar movies—to reach out to younger voters. A recent television ad starts with Obama making a serious phone call, counting on the mysterious person on the other end of the line to help America . . . as the camera pans over and reveals Penn on the other end, sitting on the couch with Cho. The two are clearly invoking their stoner icon roles, chilling on the couch, laughing at cartoon sound effects. The connection is very deliberate, but is Obama courting the MMJ vote?
