On a swing through a community college in Pennsylvania, President Obama heard one interesting solution to stimulating the economy.  VIDEO

Legalizing pot and other non-violent crime to stimulate the economy? That is the question President Obama received while speaking at Lehigh Carbon Community College in Allentown Pa. from a second year student.

"I really appreciate how you're trying to stimulate the economy," the student said. "Maybe, if you checked out some of the statistics about legalizing prostitution, gambling, drugs and non-violent crime in order to stimulate some of the economy."

"I appreciate the boldness of your question," Mr. Obama said as the audience laughed if he would consider legalizing illicit but lucrative industries like marijuana sales. "That will not be my job strategy."

"Part of what you're supposed to do in college is question conventional wisdom," the president said. "You're doing exactly what you're supposed to be doing."

He went on to say clean energy technology is key, a "triple win situation."  "We can clean up our environment, we can free ourselves from dependence on foreign oil... and we can put people to work right now, Those jobs can't be shipped out. Those are jobs that have to be done right here in the United States of America."... "There's no reason we shouldn't have the corner on wind turbine technology."
