New York Times: Obama is a poser

The NYTimes accuses Obama of not doing enough drugs:

Mr. Obama’s account of his younger self and drugs, though, significantly differs from the recollections of others who do not recall his drug use. That could suggest he was so private about his usage that few people were aware of it, that the memories of those who knew him decades ago are fuzzy or rosier out of a desire to protect him, or that he added some writerly touches in his memoir to make the challenges he overcame seem more dramatic.

Obama's memoir (which is fantastic, btw) has a lot of details that are obviously made up after the fact; the story is an accurate depiction of how Obama interprets his past, but not necessarily how it actually happened. So I wouldn't be surprised if he exaggerated some of the details. But still, new york times...really? it's come to this?
