Kick the habit already, Obama.

This is amusing to me - people writing in to advise President Obama about what he can do to set the cancer stick down. But, you know, I also think it’s good and healthy - people trying to get our new President to quit smoking. We want him to be around for at least the next 4 years, right? And many want him to stick around for the next 8 - not if the Republicans have anything to do about it. Can you imagine the potential for pranks in the White House? I bet President Obama walks over to his inbox (like the President has an inbox!) only to find packs of Marlboros  every morning, in his mind he’s going, “Okay, McCain, I get it…funny, really funny.” Oh politicians, you’re so silly.

So, I’m not going to make this a partisan post - but my advice for Obama would be to go cold turkey. But let’s look at the facts - he doesn’t smoke like a chimney, he’s a baller that enjoys several pick-up games during the week (I hope), and he and Michelle seem to live a healthy, active life. I just don’t think it’s quite the problem that people portray it to be. That’s my two cents. Feel free to post your thoughts on Obama’s plight with smoking.

As a side note, it sure feels good to be back on the interwebs, just writing about whatever I feel like.
