Obama a Smoker

Fox News does it again!  Their most recent and exciting news is the fact that Barack Obama is a smoker!  (Cigarettes, not the other stuff.)  The “Fox & Friends” idiots interviewed a talking head this morning who actually believes that Mr. Obama will not be able to win the 2008 Democratic presidential nomination because he smokes cigarettes.

Here’s a video of that little “Fox & Friends” exchange:

If he’s right, it certainly doesn’t say much about where our American priorities lie, does it?  If this country can’t find it in their wee little (practically invisible) politically-correct hearts to elect an otherwise qualified man simply because he has a single vice, then the whole country deserves to be filed under:

A Silly Place

That’s right.  ‘Tis a silly place.  Jack Kennedy had plenty of vices, too.  If Marilyn Monroe were alive, I’m pretty sure she could attest to the fact.

Hillary Clinton must be doing cartwheels right about now….

    It’s true that he smokes, but he’s trying to quit.

    Okay. But he shouldn’t have to.

    Watch your language. We don’t need to be exposed to that HC word.

    If America wants a Smoke Free American Under the Clean Air Act, Obama is not our man for President

    From what I’ve read, it’s down to only stressful times…like President Bartlett on West Wing.

    Independents for Obama

    I don’t get this? So Fox puts someone on that says Obama is a cigarette smoker and it will hurt his chances of winning an election……. WTF have the tabacco nazi’s been up to all this time if not making out everyone that smokes to be a hazard to your health?

    So what are the Fox and Friends idiots guilty of anyways? Getting this information out? How the hell will this look for the guy when he goes out rallying against “big oil” for their pollution, Wal-mart for their passing the buck on healthcare, or the tabacco companies?

    Secondly, how exactly is he well qualified anyway? Oh yeah, he gets in front of the podium, speaks like a minister, and I’m supposed to be dazzled………
