Cops find Ecstasy pills made in the image of US president

President Barack Obama's approval rating may be hovering in the 50 per cent range, but that doesn't mean America's Commanderu2013inu2013Chief isn't catching on with new constituents.

There is now a line of Ecstasy pills made in the image of the 44th president of the United States, according to Texas police who have snatched a batch off the streets.


Ecstasy is known for a sense of elation, diminished feelings of fear and anxiety, and ability to induce a sense of intimacy with others.

Perhaps a good Election Day strategy to get out the vote?

A stash of the brightly coloured tablets was found on Monday during a south Texas traffic stop. This is routine practice as the town is near the Mexican border.

Police in Palmview detained a driver after finding black tar heroin, cocaine, marijuana and several Ecstasy pills in the back of his car.

The drugs look like a "vitamin for kids," said police spokesman Lenny Sanchez.

Police say that other Ecstasy pills they found were made to look like the cartoon characters Homer Simpson and the Smurfs.

The 22u2013yearu2013old driver is expected to face felony drug possession counts.

However, there is no word on the driver's political affiliation.
