I've lately been hearing some reports about Barack Obama admitting to smoking even though he promised not to. Well, may the Virus bless him for his honesty. Perhaps he has promised a bit too much, but I know that Obama is a skilled politician with his family as well as the American public and media. So given that, I'm thinking he may find his way through this. I'm thinking he can get by this one by promising to keep the White House (and hence his family's home) smoke free, and thus he will get a free pass if he sneaks a smoke in some DC alley . . . with Bill Clinton for example maybe even with a photo op.
He can get away with being a "bad boy" even as he sticks to the family rules. Certainly its a vice even Republicans would find hard to get dogmatic about (compared to getting blow jobs on the side for instance).
