And they said he had a short fuse before- lookout staffers
Not so sure I'm buying it, but Michelle Obama is suddenly making the dubious claim that Barry kicked his smoking habit and has not had a smoke in more than a year's time. The unambiguous statement came in the midst of a lunch/interview with select reporters assembled to mark the first anniversary yesterday for her "Let's Move" anti-childhood obesity campaign.
As Mrs. Obama's session with her press corps touched upon various topics, the First Wookie was asked if Obama quit smoking, she said, "Yes he has, yes he has. Very proud," she added...It has been "almost a year" since the president had a cig, Michelle Obama told reporters at the White House luncheon. "It's been a while and I'm very proud of him," she was quoted as saying - "I haven't poked and prodded. When somebody is doing the right thing, you don't mess with them."
Of course WH spokesman Robert Gibbs made the modest claim back in December that Obama was "making progress" in his struggle to give up cigarettes, chewing nicotine gum as a replacement,... but "making progress" doesn't sound anything like Obama quit smoking 8-10 months previously... does it?

As of his last physical, in the fall I think, it was noted he was still smoking and was advised to cut down on the cocktails.
I do not think he has quit smoking, in fact he may be smoking more as President than he did before.
To: Reaganite Republican
I really don’t care if Obama smokes or not. There are lots of other things I’d worry about fixing in him first.

Coke addicts often kick cigarettes quite easily.

I hope he is still smoking 5 packs a day. Don't stop nObama go on and smoke yourself to death, it's a slow and painful way to go.

That’s the beauty of BS. When you reach the pinnacle of the “Lying Sack of Crap Invitational” one more lie is just like one more pebble on a path of gravel.

Lying is also an addiction, once you start it is hard to quit!

Yeah, didn’t Moo-chelle also claim he doesn’t dye his hair?
LOL
To: Reaganite Republican
She also said that he does not dye his hair and that is obviously and laughably not true.

This statement about him quitting smoking and not dying his hair came out right as criticism about the hypocrisy of the White House Super Bowl menu was in the news. Coincidence? I think not.

I quit smoking last June. I gained weight. BHO hasn’t gained weight so I’m pretty sure he hasn’t quit smoking.
And sorry but getting elected Pres__ent (no ID) isn’t a good time to quit smoking.
