Former House Speaker John Boehner shed some light on former President Barack Obama's smoking habit and his relationship with his wife Michelle in a new interview.
Boehner told Politico about his encounters with Obama in a major interview detailing his 25 years at the top of the Republican party in Washington.
Boehner summarized the differences between himself and Obama with an anecdote from a 2011 meeting between the two when it came to their vices.
“I’m smoking a cigarette, and they bring me a glass of merlot. And we’re sitting there a little while, and here’s the president drinking iced tea and chomping on Nicorette," Boehner told Politico.
"What else do you need to know about the two of us?”
In February 2011, Michelle Obama, a champion of healthy living during her time as First Lady, announced that her husband had quit smoking for more than a year.
Nicorette gum is used to alleviate cravings for cigarettes, which typically stop two weeks after quitting smoking.
Despite this time discrepancy, Boehner says he never saw the president sneak a cigarette, and credits that to his fear of Michelle.
Asked whether he had ever seen Obama succumb, Boehner said: “Oh no. No no no. He’s scared to death of his wife. Scared. To. Death.”

Just as Clinton was scared to death of Hillary. This dims can’t seem to have normal relationships.
It was always obvious who had the biggest pecker in that mess
Scared to death of his wife? Total beta.
Hussein is still damaging our Republic with his goons at Organizing for Action.
There sare pictures around that show that Michelle has a bigger one than Barack.
She can definitely kick his flimsy ass...
“Oh no. No no no. He’s scared to death of his wife. Scared. To. Death.”
She is the alpha male in the relationship
As Han Solo might say,
Han: "That's 'cause droids don't pull people's arms out of their sockets when they lose. Wookiees are known to do that".Michelle: "Grrf."
Fred Sanford was afraid of Aunt Ester.
Well then he's clueless since photographs of Obama puffing away on the WH balcony were circulated and stories of his chain smoking - including in bed - were well known when the Obamas traveled. It was one reason (but hardly the only reason) Michelle had separate sleeping quarters.
What terrifies Boehner most is the thought of sobering up.
The Usurper and the Weeping Cheetoo have a meeting. How cute.
Boehner as a source?
No thanks. The Obamas are in the history books and that is the only pertinent fact.
Boner miss the spotlight? Your gone, John..... live with it.
Moochie and Valarie probably ran the country while 0dumbo smoked cigarettes and tried to learn how to played golf .
I was expecting a discussion of cheese pizzas and walnut sauces.
As much as I understand his weakness for cigarettes, Obama can’t be humanized in my mind. Little bitch boy.
