How ridiculous......

A new article on politico.com has surfaced, titled: "Will smoking past effect Obama's health?"


and my answer to that: Not as much as McCain's past as a prisoner of war.

Jeff Stier, the author, writes:

"Just because he's young, looks great and exercises doesn't mean he's completely healthy. And given what an important figure he is, to ignore his smoking history is to miss an educational opportunity. "

Miss an educational opportunity? What the hell is this guy talking about?

But honestly, How can you compare smoking to torture? What's worse being tortured from being a POW or smoking cigarettes? Hmmmm

What type of political system have we evolved into? Why do we have to worry about presidents smoking? Many presidents before have smoked.

enough of my questions. 



What do you think?
Should it matter that Obama smoked or not? and Should presidents be allowed to smoke?

oh my god its the end of the world! this is rediculous, sure smoking is horrible for you and no one should do it but I agree I think its not nearly as bad as McCain being a prisoner of war; plus he's hella old so he could just die of old age.....i think obama's past smoking habits are just being used against him because republicans look for anything they can to bash they're competitors.
