Btw, didn't he supposedly quit during the campaign? Not saying I believe that 100%, but he did claim to have quit... so if that's the case, why are we giving him crap?

And I have to say, if the worst (personal) things we can say about him are that he smokes, and is considering adopting a Labradoodle - well, I think we're in pretty good shape! I also think it's interesting how "big brother" this society has become... experts have said that FDR and Taft would NEVER be elected today, only because of their respective disability and appearance. With everything being televised and on YouTube these days, it seems our citizens are becoming way too nosy.

P.S. One of the greatest presidents according to most...

And a few more examples... not trying to justify smoking, but showing that he's hardly the first.

Ford

Cigarettes are a much more filthy habit than cigars.

Mind you its Newport 100's... I bought a couple packs for a black guy I worked with and he wouldn't smoke them because they were regular length.

Umm, which looks more Presidential the Marlboro Obama or Camel Man Obama..................

Or maybe the real man Obama...............

He probably should have taken care of this issue, to stop smoking, way before becoming President. Probably not the best time to kick the habit, with the weight of the world on your shoulders. But then again I have heard he has traits of Super Man Obama.....................................

Which is meaningless in the first place, what does it matter?
