Smoke 'em if you got 'em.Barack Obama went to see the medical droid and whoa boy, the newspapers are Outraged! Why? He’s 48 years old and still has safe cholesterol levels, healthy blood pressure and one of those “BMI” index things way under the standard American level of Obesity. Why does he hate real Americans? Also, why is he still being advised to chew Nicorette? DOES THIS MEAN HE STILL HAS A CIGARETTE SOMETIMES? And if so, why won’t he resign? [New York Daily News]

From TPM: Former President George W. Bush had a resting heart rate of 45 beats per minute, similar to a top athelete.

It helps a lot when you don’t need all that blood flow to the brain. Oh, and President Obama — if you’re trying to quit smoking, I recommend brownies. They’re delicious, fun and last a lot longer than — oh, smoking cigarettes. Well — carry on, then.

Hopey is excited cause in only two short years he will get his first digital prostate exam. Another reason to look forward to 2012.

JMP March 1, 2010 at 12:20 pm

Oh noes, the President might still be engaging in a legal habit that harms no one but himself; this cannot stand! Next thing, we’ll find out he has a drink now and then.

Man, you’d almost get the idea that the media likes to invent scandals for Democratic politicians, even where they don’t exist.

[re=521760]SayItWithWookies[/re]: You know, the important thing is you must heat it up, in an oil, only oil can extract the THC, and only heat can render it usable to the body when ingested orally. Peanut butter, carefully heat it up mixed into peanut butter, then just spread a little of your special peanut butter on a cracker when in the mood.

I love the fact that our prez is a secret smoker.
It helps people think, increases attention span, while destroying their lungs.
But our problems need more thinkin’ than breathin’ right now.

Put it in a crock pot with a pound of butter, then, after it has stewed for a couple hours, strain the mixture through a fine mesh strainer to remove the greens. Then stir the butter well and let it return to room tempature. The result can be used in any recipe that uses butter, or you can put it in the fridge and when it is completely solid use it on sandwiches and the like.

Then, video games!

Nicorette? Wasn’t she a popular singer during the 80s and 90s?

WarAndG March 1, 2010 at 12:36 pm

He puts his feet on the furniture and hides his crack cocaine addiction behind cigarettes which he hides behind Nicorette. What kind of example is he sending our kids with his dirty feet and lying and drugs. Worst President ever.

The White House will probably need to be torn down and rebuilt to get that cigarette smell out. I hate tenants that smoke.

Frankly, if I had to spend the past year having to deal with idiotic Republicans, tea baggers, and chicken shit Democrats, I’d be smoking three packs a day. We should actually be applauding his self-control here.

Mr Blifil March 1, 2010 at 12:42 pm

However, being black (or half-black at least amirite?) and in charge count, I believe, as co-morbidity factors.

[re=521781]sati demise[/re]: About a quarter oz. per 13×9 pan of brownies, and one (or maybe two) brownies will do the trick. The important part is to be patient and not eat six brownies at once, because they can take 45 minutes to really kick in.

Redhead March 1, 2010 at 12:42 pm

I thought real ‘muricans DID smoke? Doesn’t this make him more REAL than everything else he does, like eating arugula and driving a hybrid volvo and all that mess? Are they just mad that he’s smoking instead of chewing Skoal, like a REEL rebel?

Mr Blifil March 1, 2010 at 12:43 pm

How’s that whole smoke-y choke-y thing workin’ out for ya?

Starrigavan March 1, 2010 at 12:49 pm

Meh, leave him alone. The only thing worse than a smoker is a recently quit smoker. Last thing we need in the White House is another guy going through withdrawal…

[re=521801]SayItWithWookies[/re]: And always remember kids, only cook with mersh and mids. The complexity and smoothness of the good stuff really gets lost in the stewing process, and not even a pound of butter can kill the taste of paraquat in 50/oz ditchweed.

Gorillionaire March 1, 2010 at 1:06 pm

Dubya was/is in such “excellent health” because he was constantly fighting back the urge to get shit faced plastered – every self obsessed AA graduate dives head first into vigorous exercise or dogmatic religion or both to take the place of all that fun drinkin’. This and their constant self congradulating tone is why alcoholics are infinitely more pleasant than “recovering” anybodies.

Elm Hugger March 1, 2010 at 1:08 pm

The really important question is, did they raise his co-pay? They did mine. I would love to see a photo op showing him writing a check after the exam.

Let’s see, smoking, constant fucking … add some booze and it sounds like a lot parties I went to back in my younger days.

[re=521818]Gorillionaire[/re]: Most recovering alkies I’ve met are really, really dedicated chain smokers. For them, apparently, the lung cancer was the preferable choice over the cirrosis.

You’re right in your observation about the alkies and smoking, though. The “addictive personality” has to have something.

A colleague of mine recently received an award from the Prez and told me that the most immediate impression of him was that he reeked of cigarette smoke. Secretary needs to get him a spray bottle of Febreeze like I keep in my car for those cigar days.

JMP March 1, 2010 at 1:49 pm

[re=521818]Gorillionaire[/re]: There’s the self-congratulations, the over-religiosity that the traditional 12-step program encourages, and the many AAers claiming that just about everybody else is an alcoholic. Ex-smokers can be annoying, but they have nothing on AA members; though non-AA recovering alcoholics aren’t always that bad.

[re=521837]Autoo[/re]: Either chain smokers, or many drink coffee constantly; like, several pots a day. At least either of those is a less-dangerous new addiction to the rest of us than religion.
