If a Man Cannot Control an Addiction, How’s He going to Run the Country?

Still smoking Barack?

“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 said the president used medication to try to ease the pangs, they described it as “nicotine replacement therapy, self-use”.

Obama promised Michelle when he embarked on his campaign to become president he would quit, at the time he said he was smoking about eight a day.

He told reporters last year he had quit but still had an occasional cigarette, without specifying how many.

His health was described as excellent and he does not have to return for another medical until 2012. Obama, who is 48, has 20-20 vision, weighs 179 lbs in his shoes and clothes, and requires little medication. Apart from the nicotine replacement, he uses a non-steroid anti-inflammatory medication associated with physical activity: he regularly plays basketball at the White House.”

It’s a shame that a man who claims so much self-confidence and control can’t kick smoking. Yes I know it’s tough, quit a 2 pack a day habit 20 years ago on the first shot. It’s called willpower. So much for the leader of the free world having such willpower and tenacity.

By the way, my Doctor told me that it’s incredible they’ll giving him such a pass. By comparison the healthiest president of the last 25 years is George Bush. He didn’t smoke, quit the bottle and showed more willpower in his little finger than this prick does with his entire body.

What a pansy.
