WASHINGTON (AP) - President Barack Obama hasn't kicked the smoking habit, takes anti-inflammatory medication to relieve chronic tendinitis in his left knee and should eat better to lower his cholesterol, his team of doctors concluded Sunday after the 48-year-old's first medical checkup as commander in chief.

The hoops-happy chief executive, who has endured an exhausting White House run and yearlong battles with congressional Republicans, was otherwise declared in excellent health and fit for duty.

The White House physician, Navy Capt. Jeffrey Kuhlman, said Obama should stick with "smoking cessation efforts," the use of nicotine gum, and come back in August 2011 after he turns 50.

Got smokes.
No more lecturing us on health from a guy who will not even take his doctor’s advice.

I thought he promised his family to quit before the campaign ended?

President Barack Obama hasn't kicked the smoking habit,...

To the liberal Nazi's of the left party, that should be enough to start impeachment proceedings right there.

They never wrote about him as a human being.

[Mobties]

I'll bet the cigarette manufacturers are hoping the name of Obama’s brand isn't revealed. I doubt it would be good for business.

BTW, was there any mention of how many packs he smokes each day?
