and to the RATS, that's WORSE than taking drugs and cheating on his wife...

Last August, I ran into Sen. Barack Obama, D-Illinois, outside the Senate chamber in the Capitol.
This was before the Obama surge, before he had omnipresent Secret Service agents...
Frankly, he reeked of cigarettes.
Obama ran off before I could ask him if he'd just snuck a smoke, so I called his campaign.
They denied it. He'd quit months before, in February, they insisted.
They reported back that he had told them he hadn't had a cigarette since he quit.
Except….last night on MSNBC's Hardball, Obama admitted that his attempt to wean himself from the vile tobacco weed had not been entirely successful.
It's not a big deal in the scheme of things -- the war on Iraq, a major economic crisis -- indeed, it's miniscule. Hardly worth mentioning.
Except that I don't like feeling that I wasn't being dealt with honestly.
And as much as citizens who are suspect of the media might scoff at such a notion, many of us consider ourselves to be your representatives to help make sure our leaders are telling us the truth, and leading the country down a path we're confident is the right one.
(Corny, I know.)

With some.. smoking is WORSE than lying or stealing or even being Queer..
and to the RATS, that's WORSE than taking drugs and cheating on his wife...
It's the same for all of us smokers. At least I don't think there are cameras!
REally? Good for her. I think W ought to roll up in a rocking chair on the south lawn and light a burley and brite briar wood up in front of the code pinkos.
Tapper probably wanted to blow him but the smoke killed it for his pompous cakeboy arse.
Laura smokes.
LOL, if Hillary is smart, she’ll keep posting pictures everywhere of Obama smoking cigarettes. That’ll stick a fork in him. LOLOL
It’s okay to be a racist, a radical abortion(infanticide) activist, a foreign policy ignoramus, a tax and spend leftist, an uber-socialist, and an angry anti-capitalist. But a cigarette smoker?!? Now that’s unforgivable!!! ROFLOL
Obama is a victim of smoking. Tobbacco was yet another creation by the U.S. government to wipe out the black race./s
WOW. Did you do that?
He iss vaht?!!
Zis vill noot do!
“Except that I don’t like feeling that I wasn’t being dealt with honestly.”
So Jake..on the Wright thing..20 years a church member..Obambi didn’t know Wright was antisemetic? Anti American? Crazy? What about that Jake?
Keep trying. I finally quit 15 months ago after 40 years. The one good thing I often think about is the gov no longer is screwing me on their crazy taxes. Other than that, boy, food tastes sooooooooo good now.
as usual it’s the lying cover-up that’s worse than the ‘crime’
fwiw, I could not care less whether or not he smokes, but he should lie about it.....
I’m glad to say I have never smoked, but while I intensely dislike cigarette smoke I do not hold it against people when they smoke so long as they are respectful of others, don’t strew their butts around, etc.
Only liberals seem to be on this rabid campaign to destroy smokers and smoking forever.
I quit 5 months ago, Chantix™ it was easy, I smoked for 20 years.
Pst 36, congratulations! I quit 21 years ago and still can’t believe I did it. Good for you!
I agree. She’s pretty hot.
