20 years ago, Clinton "didn't inhale" at college. Obama did coke, and it wasn't a big deal. Also he's black. Acceptability changes based on what voters consider to be normal.

GWB did coke, and it wasn't a big deal. I think it's important to point out that this change wasn't as slow as you make out.

I think you meant to say that "acceptability changes based upon the agenda of the media reporting on these candidates."

Peteretep said that public perceptions on drug use have changed substantially over the past 2 decade, and I think he meant to say what he actually did say.

It was not a matter of how the media reports it. The media gleefully reported on all of the presidential candidates' drug use (or lack thereof). Voters simply do not care any more.
