Having a smoke is no joke to Michelle Obama.
A lip-reader claims Speaker John Boehner’s question about cigarettes at the inaugural luncheon is what triggered an eye roll from the first lady.
Larry Wenig, a lip-reading expert, tells “Inside Edition” that his analysis shows the Ohio Republican asked President Obama if he had a cigarette before the Monday luncheon.
While Obama quit smoking in 2010, Boehner still lights up. Obama has called giving up the habit for good “hard.”
According to Wenig, Boehner was referring to Michelle when he quipped to the commander in chief, “Somebody won’t let you do it.”

Instead of the eyes rolling, what got my attention was how Mrs. Obama was just shoveling food into her mouth like there was no tomorrow. Indeed she has an athlete’s metabolism, but if a normal person did that, they would bloat up like a balloon.
Actually- she looks really pissed off. Boehner’s baiting Obama to smoke and she is about to blow a gasket.
Too much fun :)
So...was the Pres chewing nicotine gum???
I have found that tactic particularly effective when trying to get the wait staff to present me with a bill or take my money.
All of a sudden, they will do whatever it takes to get me out of there.
It's like I am Moses and can part the waters of the Red Sea.
Forgot to mention that the tactic also works well to clear the fat chicks out of the candy aisle.
Michelle is “food” shovel ready.....
I made up my mind to quit in 2009, and I did it, COLD TURKEY as they say. Never looked back, and I smoked for fifty years.
Nobody can tell me it’s that hard to quit when I quit after fifty years with little to no discomfort.
My incentive!? Democrats taxing the damned things to the point there was no more real enjoyment smoking. Something I actually enjoyed as I worked around the ranch, but when the cost became so high for me to enjoy lighting up, I quit.
She was the only one eating, or should I say gorging. Everyone else around her had finished and were trying to carry on a conversation around her considerable bulk. She was probably on thirds.
“My incentive!? Democrats taxing the damned things...”
You and me, both, FRiend. I was a Camel non-filter man for 25 years but when they hit a buck a pack, that was it. Never touched another and I did enjoy them. They must cost a fortune today.
I did the same thing.....after almost 50 years. Feels good, doesn’t it?
You know, when I saw the picture, I remember thinking that it was sad that with Boehner, I needed to wait to hear his actual comment before I would know if the eyerolling was inappropriate.
I quit my pack a day unfiltered Camel habit cold in 2005. It wasn’t fun but it’s not impossible. You can tell Barry’s still hooked - he’s always chewing that gum.
Great news for you. Are you aware that studies show that the most effective way to stop smoking is to quit “cold turkey.” The hypnotism, gum, support groups, etc. are far less effective. It turns out that nothing works like pure will power. It took me two tries but once I determined that I really wanted to quit, I stopped and never had a single one after that. That was 41 years ago.
give me a break..he is still puffing away...he lies, so I don't trust or believe him on any subject...
Boehner knows he still smokes, so do the media...they cover up for him on all subjects.
Seriously, quitting is not that hard—so many of us have done it. It does feel at first as though you are losing your best friend, but after the first few days, it keeps getting easier. The greatest trick to quitting—ask God to help you and be serious about it. All the gimmicks people use don’t work because they keep thinking about smoking.
