Obama is depressed by A-Rod:

President Barack Obama called Alex Rodriguez' admission that he used steroids "depressing news" that tarnishes an entire era of major league baseball.

Apparently Obama thinks this is an uplifting admission since he thought it important enough to write in his book.

Obama had written in his first book, "Dreams From My Father" (1995), before entering politics, that he had used marijuana and cocaine ("maybe a little blow"). He said he had not tried heroin because he did not like the pusher who was trying to sell it to him.

Obama didn’t try heroin because he didn’t like the salesman enough? And he finds A-Rod's admission tarnishing? Alex Rodriquez getting a lecture on drugs from Barack Obama is like Bill Clinton getting a lecture on morality from John Edwards.
