Does Senator Barack Obama smoke cigarettes?

Somebody told me that yesterday and I didn't know if it was true or not.

1. he smokes doobies.
2. Yes, but he's trying to quit.
3. With the situation at hand, I think they all smokin a little something something...
4. Yep but you won't see the press showing him smoking. Well maybe Fox if they catch him but than CNN & the rest will do what they can to dismiss those pictures.
5. Yea he smokes, so I've heard anyway. It took me years to kick the habit so I can sympathize. Smoking does not make him a bad person.
6. WHAT DOESTHIS HAVE TO DO WITH ANYTHING SIGNIFICANT? HE'S SURE GOING TO DISAPPEAR LIKE SMOKE!
7. Yes. And he has sex with white women. SHHHHHH!!!!
8. Yes, it is true. He mentioned it in one of his speeches and said something about quitting, I don't know if was a New Year's resolution or not. The last thing I heard he was on a smoking cessation program - not sure which one. Not trying to be a smart aleck, just wondering why you think this is significant.
9. Yes.
10. Who? And what the hell is Nancy J's damn problem?
11. so what it's legal and he's old enough.
12. Yeah, and he also eats food high in saturated fat, call the national guard.
13. well nancy_j, i don't know what you consider "traditional values" but when grown men talk to children on the internet and tell them they have an erection (Sen. Mark Foley - Republican - FL) i don't consider that "values." drug abuse (Rush Limbaugh) isn't exactly something worth bragging over either. and before you criticize Barack for doing drugs in his past, i suggest you look at the current president's past. "jesus-hating"? liberalism is a much more accurate representation of what Jesus Christ stood for and represented. republicans distort Jesus to fit what they WANT Jesus to have represented. Jesus spent his time with the poor and sinners, not the with the wealthy and elite. i could go on forever. and yes, i have heard barack obama does smoke cigarettes.
14. The dude used to (and might still) smoke crack.
15. If he does, I'm voting for him. I live in Ohio. I'm not allowed to smoke in bars or restaurants anymore, or even church, and I'm upset. Maybe he'll help. Of course, I know that cigarette smoking is what is actually causing global warming. But I really don't care. I wanted to run for president myself, but I have 1,316 felonies and 224 more pending against me. I wanted to start a chain of smoking-only bars and restaurants, and I seeked help from Joe Camel to start a preschool where I could use child labor to manufacture ashtrays and bongs. When I hit the lottery, I will open my chain of smokers-only bars and restaurants. When you're rich, you can do anything. In the bars, I figure on putting abortion clinics in the back corner and holding nude black masses on Saturdays at midnight. Except in the lesbian and gay bars. Wouldn't really need abortion clinics, so I figure on selling a lot of Asian pornography from Thailand. For the restaurants, I'll settle for just putting heroin in the quiche and tofurkey to get back at all the health nuts. It looks like I might have to vote for Obama, but I was really hoping a gay junkie satanist would run. So far, Hillary is closest.
16. Yes, he does.
