Obama Fail Blog

The New York Times is confirming that President Obama still smokes cigarettes:

But Mr. Obama, 48, continues to struggle to stop his 30-year smoking habit and needs to modify his diet, said Dr. Jeffrey Kuhlman, a Navy captain who led the medical team that performed Mr. Obama’s physical.

Of course, you already knew that if you are a regular reader of Obama Fail Blog. Smoking wouldn't be a big deal, except President Obama's handlers have tried to create an image of focused, healthy leader who is immune to the temptations of mortal men. That is why they put Obama on the cover of health magazines whenever possible. So it's not so much Obama's smoking, but the fraudulent image manipulation of his PR team that is the problem here.

And one more amusing tidbit from the Times article:

One oddity of the report: Mr. Obama weighed 179.9 pounds with his shoes and workout attire on, which is not the usual way to measure a patient’s weight.

Um, so... The president weighs about 170 pounds? Maybe less? Geez, this guy projects weakness everywhere he goes. Hope! Change! Weakness!

I wonder if he bowed to the scale.
