Today's Brack Obama press conference has been moved indoors over fears that Washington's heat and humidity might make Associated Press White House reporter Jennifer Loven's hair explode live on national TV:

Now you’ve done it. I didn’t hear it until you mentioned it - now I’m climbing the walls! :P

LOL! I'm sorry. At least I know it's not just me. ;o)

Obama - 95% non smoker

[DogBarkTree]

Nothing worse than a thinned skinned addict. She gets points for having the nerve to ask about his smoking in relation to the Bill he signed.

[Miss Behave]

The smoking is “not about him.”. COWARD even on THIS.

[tnlibertarian]

Sounds like he could use a good smoke about now.

Obama - 95% non smoker

OMG That's like being a little bit pregnant.

We just learned how Obama thinks.

He called himself an “ex-smoker”

He then went on to say he doesn’t smoke in front of his family.

So- he smokes.

But, he THINKS of himself as an EX smoker.

He lies to himself.

[2nd amendment mama]

If he is still smoking, he is NOT a non-smoker.

Exactly. I quit on March 26th and haven't had one since then - I'm a non-smoker. If I picked up one tomorrow I'd lose the ability to call myself that. Judging by zero's answer he really doesn't consider himself a non-smoker but rather an occasional smoker.

[jennyjenny]

Says he’s 95% cured from smoking. Them’s code words for, “I know longer buy my own. I mooch off others.”

[codercpc]

I am getting really poor reception on my radio, and I heard him say multiple times that private ins. companies should not be "afraid" of the public option.

Did any of the reporters tell him that they are not afraid of the public option, but of the government subsidies that public option would receive, thus making it a non competitive deal?

[Dryman]

95% percent nonsmoker = 100% Socialist

[hoosiermama]

It's not about me...it's about ME!!!

[sloop]

he said that AFTER getting in his jabs at the reporter - questioning her motivation for asking the question

[MisterI]

He just said: “my bi-lateral meeting” DOH!

[kristinn]

Agreed.

[Deo volente]

“robust trade regime with Chile...”

What the heck does that mean???

[Crawdad]

Obama - 95% non smoker

That means he has a cigarette in his mouth 72 minutes out of each day.

[qam1]

needs an “Uuuummmmmm” and “Uhhhhhhh” spaces

[ninergold3]

Did he just say he’s having Chile for lunch? Or is he taxing Chile? I’m sooooooo confused. *sigh*
