The Ultimate "Concern Troll Post"
How does this Jibe?
Seems Obama is still smoking! And, to borrow from 'ol Joe B., literally, not figuratively. OK, I get this just from hitting the 60 Minutes site, which says he has acknowledged having the occasional cigarette on the campaign trail. I am sure that the stress of campaigning is great--I sure as hell couldn't handle it*--but bloody hell; I can't help but imagine a scenario where we successfully elect him, and then he dies of emphysema or lung cancer in his first term. Pock, Pock, someone talk chicken little down here...

Not to be disrespectful, but I don't think that is worth a talking down. It seems to be me about a ridiculous a Jong's revolution remarks.

If anyone can find a place to catch a smoke it's the prez.

I wonder. Rumor has it that the shame of doing this evil deed has become so complete in this society, that even pretty top level inhabitants of the White House feel they have to do it outside:
Visualize the most powerful man in the world feeling he has to sneak one in a White House bathroom with his head sticking out a window?
The situation, it's worse than prohibition.

Note it is not the President, but his wife, in your example. Surely the spousal disapproval is dominant, and would be for Obama, too. Absent that, Secret Service would ensure smoking pleasure for the boss.
(Spoken as a disapproved-by-spouse smoker, who finally succeeded in quitting.)

Oh but the outrage when one of the White House staff leaks to the press that taxpayer dollars are being spent to have the Secret Service go out to the drugstore for a pack. :-)
