A note from President Obama's doctors reveals that he has been sneaking cigarettes, and has been encouraged to try nicorette gum or the patch, press say.
The President had a routine physical at the Bethesda Naval Medical Center. Doctors found him to be in "excellent health" and "fit for duty" but urged that he "continue smoking cessation efforts."
Obama owned up during the 2008 presidential campaign to falling off the wagon occassionally in his effort to quit with the help of nicotine gum.Obama has also said that First Lady Michelle Obama, and kids Malia and Sasha, have been all over him to break the habit.
The initial report on the physical from Dr. Jeff Kuhlman, director of the White House Medical Unit, also suggested that Obama may have lost some of the jump on his jump shot.
The report said his knees sometimes ache and the docs recommended a "lower extemity muscle strengthening program."

I love that he is working on preventative health issues for us Americans and he is sneaking a smoke. Shouldn't he be paying a Carbon tax for that? If you want to be head of the nanny state, you should be a good example. Why is he trying to mess with my health care when he has a health care issue of his own? First fix your issue, then you will see clearly enough to fix my health care.

it shows he is just human, and not a God! The fact is, all politicians are just human and have so many bad habits like lying to the public about their true intentions.

"Shouldn't he be paying a Carbon tax for that?" It's the tobacco farmers who should be paying the carbon tax and not the individual consumers, and the same can be said for the oil companies. But wait a moment, tobacco farmers, big tobacco and the oil companies are all big supporters of the repub's, right? And make donations, right?
