President Barack Obama is using nicotine replacement therapy to help himself quit smoking, according to the results of his physical exam released Sunday.

Navy Capt. Dr. Jeff Kuhlman examined Obama at the Bethesda Naval Medical Center in Maryland Sunday morning and recommended that the president "continue smoking cessation efforts."

Obama's opponents and some in the press raised his cigarette smoking as an issue on the campaign trail. Last June, Obama called himself a "former smoker" who occasionally "slips up" and has a cigarette, but never in front of his family.

Otherwise, Kuhlman noted that Obama is in "excellent" health and is "fit for duty" and is expected to remain that way for the duration of his presidency.

>Are you sure he’s out of his cocaine stage?<

relatively sure, I believe that he has moved on to constant ingestion of psilocybin in his daily kool-aid.

Just look at his policies, he must be tripping.

Don’t get me wrong with the questions but it’s logical to ask 1) where Michelle and the kids came from? 2) if he is gay why is he caught looking at women in photo ops that show distinct interest?

Even homosexuals not uncommonly have sex with women. His history tells the story.

[little jeremiah]

Psychopaths are in their own world anyway, drugs or no drugs.

[little jeremiah]

Should have added - it is also not uncommon for homosexuals who are public figures to have a “beard” wife - beard meaning disguise.

I'm under 50 and I don't do drugs and I never have. I think the LEO that told you that is over generalizing. Actually, I think that LEO is just plain stupid. That's about as stupid as saying that girls that smoke also ummm give BJs.

I pretty sure there are a lot of people at retirement age that were hippies in their youth that are still smoking pot or doing other drugs. I know some of them.

It must be wonderful to be you ! (sarcasm intended)

Yours is,without a doubt, one of the funniest posts I’ve ever read on FR.

Thanks for the chuckles.

[dforest]

I wonder if he is taking any male replacement therapy?

[SoldierDad]

Yes, actually. It is. No sarcasm required.

I am not responsible for the chemical realities of Nicotine.

You are, however, responsible for spreading hysteria-generating propaganda designed to demonize the entire supply chain and consumers.
