Barack Obama is still struggling to kick smoking, according to his first medical examination since becoming president.

Obama is sensitive about his cigarette habit and tetchy with reporters who raise it. But after his 90-minute medical at the Navy hospital outside Washington yesterday morning, his doctors confirmed he had not yet managed to conquer the habit and suggested he "continue smoking cessation efforts".

The doctors also recommended "moderation of alcohol intake".

The doctors also recommended "moderation of alcohol intake".

If they recommended "moderation", does this mean he's been immoderate lately?

Yet, Obama lectures everyone else on a healthy lifestyle. Hey, Michelle, instead of sticking your nose in our lives, how about lecturing your own husband on his unhealthy lifestyle, fat*ss!

I’m a firm believer in moderation — if you’re an extreme liberal.

No, its just practicing defensive medicine so that they won’t later be sued by him for malpractice for failing to warn him against excessive drinking. Nothing to see here, move along now.

Other than boozing and smoking, he’s doing okay, huh?

Too bad he doesn’t just come out and tell all that tobacco remains legal and it is his choice to use it or not.

Fat chance of that. He will continue to condemnothers using it while he sneaks his.

The doctors would do the country a favor if they told Obama to smoke something a little more potent. Such as wildwood flower. He’d govern better stoned.

Personally I could care less if he smoked. It’s the lying and sneaking about it that is the problem. AS for the drinking....that’s a little alarming.

Sounds like he might have been immoderate enough to make his liver enzymes kick out a red flag.

All we need to know is that the KENYAN Imposter is also an Alchoholic! At this point why dont we start a Movement to mail Millions of Packs of Cigarettes and Jugs of Booze to the TOTUS in the White House!! or maybe we must start calling it “THE LUSH HOUSE!”

Did the doctor also suggest he get his head out of his ass?
