Obama to Cigs: I Wish I Knew How to Quit You

There may be something more dangerous to Barack Obama than pastor Rev. Wright -- his nasty smoking habit!

While Barack allegedly quit smoking back in February 2007, ABC News Correspondent Jake Tapper says he ran into the Illinois senator in August when he "reeked of cigarettes." Obama did inhale! Obama even admitted he "fell off the wagon" on last night's "Hardball." Maybe LiLo can lend Barack some of her Ariva.

If BO wants to stay off the cancer sticks, he should just take his own advice and say: Yes We Can!

A rep for Obama would not comment.

61. The pressure to run for the Democratic candidate for president is NOTHING like the pressure of running the Whitehouse. After cigarettes will come....guess what.

Just because he says:YES WE CAN, doesn't make it so. Ask the bowling ball in the gutter.

62. I'm glad this is on the site. I actually already knew he was a yucky smoker. I hate secret smokers. Including a wanna-be president secret smoker. Smoking is such a weakness.

64. why debate whether a smoker should be the president. There are so many other reasons to not vote for Obama already!

70. MR J: It's like this ... I don't think our country needs a pres who espouses government-funded health care while he's partaking in "THE most chemically-addictive product on consumer the market!" GOT IT? GOOD!

71. A lot of people smoke it wont define him. Hey everyone needs a stress reliever. I think if i was going to run this country in the stressed times we are in i probably wouldnt have been able to quit myself. Hey we are giving him a hard time for going to church leave the man alone pay attention to what kind of job he does and if he will be able to handle america not if he smokes

72. Guess the good reverend and other leaking stories is creating a lot of stress? Actually, his frame would look better with an extra 10 pounds which he'd gain with giving up the nasty habit!

IMO a lot of the new dependency on cigarettes is created from addiction to marijuana (observer of young people)! All smokers need to go into a full detoxification program as neither (cigarettes nor marijuana) is good for one's lungs with the environmentally poor air quality these days.

73. I agree with Sara Stone. What a stupid thing to put on the web site. Isn't Paris Hilton dating someone stupid today? How many men have been elected President while smoking pipes, cigars, or whatever? Look how much good Franklin Roosevelt did for the country. As for you, Jillikins, you're an idiot.

74. I think the point is...he CAN'T quit. He's supposed to be so perfect, but he can't quit smoking? Also, how charming is he going to be when he quits? Let's just hope there are no confrontations with the terrorists when he's witdrawing.

It's hard, I know that first hand, but it can be done.
