Obama won't sneak smokes in WH By: Mike Allen December 7, 2008 09:55 AM EST
President-elect Obama says he and Michelle Obama plan to open the White House to local pupils as a “bully pulpit” to inspire youth to reach for the stars in science, education, music and poetry.
“Part of what we want to do is to open up the White House and remind people this is the people's house,” Obama told NBC’s Tom Brokaw during a “Meet the Press” interview taped Saturday in Chicago.
“There is an incredible bully pulpit to be used when it comes to, for example, education: Yes, we're going to have an education policy; yes, we're going to be putting more money into school construction. But ultimately we want to talk about parents reading to their kids. We want to invite kids from local schools into the White House.”
The president-elect said his administration is interested in “elevating science once again, and having lectures in the White House where people are talking about traveling to the stars or breaking down atoms, inspiring our youth to get a sense of what discovery is all about.”
“Thinking about the diversity of our culture and inviting jazz musicians and classical musicians and poetry readings in the White House so that once again we appreciate this incredible tapestry that's America,” he said.

He’ll be stinking up the WH allright.
He didn't say he wouldn't smoke, he said we won't see him violating the rules.
And yes, Obama, you did a terrific job. You're so wonderful.
The way he talks, I think he’s smoking something else.
Good catch!
And to accomplish this, we are going to shut down the replacement for the Space Shuttle. But at least the kids can still dream.
Sure, because the Obamas have accomplished so much in all those areas.
Oh yes, because what America needs now most are young poets!
wonder if he’s going to open up the White House grounds for homeless camps too? After all, those people are depending on Obama to set them free from their misery.
Can you imagine what the reaction of the media would be if a Republican candidate was a smoker?
Obama won’t smoke in the white house? Nonsense. He’s a smoker, an addict, he’ll smoke.
Don't break your arm patting yourself on the back Bambi.
What an ego.
How about coke?
He didn't say he wouldn't smoke, he said we won't see him violating the rules.
And yes, Obama, you did a terrific job. You're so wonderful.
Absolutely. And you know, he didn't actually say anything about not chopping a few lines on a mirror and not doing a few lines of blow.
Does he have to take a drug test or is that also not needed to be POTUS??
I will only smoke in the 51st to 57 th states!
If it was me, I’d sit down at the Big Desk, light up a fat Partaga, and observe that “At least I know what these are for; unlike the last Democrat who sat here.”
lol
Why the HELL not?!?
Most powerful man in the world can't cop a smoke or puff on a good charuto (cigar) in his own domain?!? What the hell does he use those things between his legs for? Ping-pong or are they too light?
Sorry, but what a wuss if he doesn't smoke where he darn well pleases.
