If he and other politicians would spend as much time on the illegal drug traffic in this country and less on legal cigarettes, we would be on the right path....gotta love the politicians!

yah, I'm 95% cured of my heroin and cocaine 'problem' too.

In typical meglomaniac style, Obam-ah-ah-ah felt most comfortable to talk about hisself.

"Iran? Yes, I ran, and with some help from ACORN Iwon!"

Yep! Demonrats. Ya gotta love em. Clinton said he did not have sex with that woman. He did not exactly lie bacause in his sick little pea brain he defined sex as fornicating. Everything else, which he did it all with as many as he could trap, was not sex. Nobama honestly believes that if he pulled out in time and she got pregnant then she was just 95% pregnant. I could go on and on but the point is demonrats have no problem telling the truth as long as the truth fits within their own definition. Reality is not a strong point with demonrats. One Big A*s Mistake America

President Barack Obama says he is "95 percent cured" of his habit of smoking cigarettes.

What about his habit of spending money he doesn't have?

President Barack Obama says he is "95 percent cured" of his habit of smoking cigarettes.

During a presidential press conference at The White House this afternoon, Obama was asked about his smoking habits in light of legislation he signed this week to allow the Food and Drug Administration to regulate tobacco products.

Obama initially tried to steer the question back to the law, saying it is about stopping "the next generation of kids" from beginning smoking. But then he agreed to talk about his own battle with smoking.

"I constantly struggle with it," Obama said.

Obama said he does not smoke every day, and that he does not smoke in front of his children or other family members.

"I am 95 percent cured, but there are times when I mess up," he said.
