Obama and the cancer sticks

A lot of folks are upset that Obama’s physical revealed that he is still smoking and should cut back on his drinking. Me? I don’t care. He’s a big boy and can do what he wants. But what I wonder is the logistics of burning one? Federal property is smoke-free. I recall the White House saying it would remain smoke-free. The White House is under constant surveillance by reporters. So, if he stepped out to have a puff, some reporter would have snagged a photo and published it, I would think. But no photos I’ve seen show the prez puffing away. So, where’s he smoking?

Update: Obligatory mention of how it’s funny he wants to reform health insurance but engages in unhealthy activities omitted. After all, we all engage in some unhealthy activities from time to time.

    I think I’d prefer he abused alcohol: Then at least we’d have a reason for his idiocy.

    I smoked on-and-off for about five years before I quit last summer for good. I’m glad that I did, though I do still miss it sometimes.

    By the time I decided to quit, smoking was just too inconvenient. I can’t imagine how inconvenient it is for Obama, assuming he’s not just breaking the White House rule and smoking alone in a windowless room far from cameras :p

    I don’t know where he is smoking but I know where he is blowing the smoke…..Up our asses

    That is true. But most of us (on this site at least) don’t try to force other people to stop other unhealthy activities while engaging in our own.

    Hillary used to make Bill smoke cigars (makes me think of Monica) on the balcony.

    I say that Barack smokes wherever he wants to in the WH.

    He makes the rules.

    Most people want to know what Obama is smoking.

    Obligatory tu quoque reference. 🙂

    In Chicago he used to step out on the back porch of the condo and smoke.

    However, in the White House there are many places to burn one. Since Obama is an off and on smoker, I guess he walks over to Blair House and burns on there or goes down to the tunnel or goes up to the roof with SS (and all their cool guns and gear up there).

  9. IronKnight Says:

    I think he should keep on smoking. At leaset someone should have the freedom to.

    If I were trying to discredit an argument, you might be right. I’ll see your logical fallacy and raise you a straw man.

  11. John Smith Says:

    Bet he has switched to electric cigarettes and presidential strength nicorette.

  12. Sigivald Says:

    It’s been pointed out that the “moderate alcohol consumption” was, in the actual report, something he was told to continue, not to start.

    Boilerplate for “don’t start drinkin’ heavily”, not “cut down, you lush”.

  13. Michael Hawkins Says:

    I’ll not tell anybody to quit their bad habits, I respect your freedom to do to yourself whatever the hell you please.

    I vote we send him two cartons of these:

    I’m not sure the anti-smoking zealots have thought this one out. Do we really want a president going through withdrawals? I say fire up, and let him quit on his own time.

  16. TheGunGeek Says:

    Bill Clinton issued an executive order banning smoking in the white house. Might have been in all federal buildings, actually.

    I do believe he broke that one himself with a certain cigar though…

    Did W or Barry negate that EO or is the prez violating it?

Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.
