When asked if he inhaled, he responded, “I did. It’s not something I’m proud of. It was a mistake as a young man. But I never understood that line,” Mr. Obama said, pausing to recall Mr. Clinton’s insistence that he didn’t inhale. “The point was to inhale. That was the point.”

Bush did, Gore did, I would bet that a majority of people born after the 60s have at least tried it.

You can judge him on his youthful smoking or not- that's your own call, but, again, you chose a partial quote that isn't exactly accurate. In fact, you twisted it rather dramatically when you wrote this paraphrase
I'm skeptical of anyone who inhales and then brags about it because "that's the point.".

The actual quote is NOT bragging or encouraging young people to do drugs. He says he's not proud of it, and that it was a mistake.
