What brand does Obama smoke? I’m thinking about taking up smoking. It must be a good thing if Big O does it.

The Grand Mulatto Messiah said today, “As a former smoker, I understand how hard it is to quit. I sometimes stumble, but I never smoke in front of my kids.” How the f*ck can you be a “Former smoker”, but stumble sometimes, and when you do, you don’t do it in front of your kids? This guy is an a$$clown extraordanaire.

FORMER SMOKER???   June 23rd, 2009 - 4:34 pm

WHAT TOTAL NONSENSE! You are either a SMOKER or a FORMER SMOKER, not BOTH. This is an excellent example of OBFUSCATION & DISINGENUOUSNESS which is happening all too often in our government, especially at the TOP.

A FORMER SMOKER DOES NOT “STRUGGLE CONTINUALLY” against the urge to smoke. ONCE YOU GET THE NICOTINE CRAP OUT OF YOUR SYSTEM (WHICH *ONLY* TAKES ABOUT THREE DAYS!), JUST SMELLING CIGARETTE SMOKE IS NAUSEATING AND A TOTAL TURNOFF. This answer can only mean that the guy has NOT TRULY QUIT SMOKING AT ALL, and SUGGESTS THAT HE MUST CONSTANTLY HANG OUT WITH OTHER SMOKERS who keep “enticing” him (deliberately or not) to RETAIN THE STINKING HABIT.

This is a prime example of the RELIABILITY (NOT) AND HONESTY (NOT) of what’s coming down to us Americans “FROM ON HIGH.”

WISE UP, GET HONEST, GET CLEAN, AND STOP WITH THE B.S., PLEASE, FOR ALL OUR SAKES!

“You just think it’s neat to ask me about my smoking.”

Well, you won’t answer questions of SUBSTANCE!

You know, THE LONG FORM, what Dr was present, etc…?

THE LONG FORM FOLKS, just like the one YOU HAVE!

What about M.O.?   June 23rd, 2009 - 4:36 pm

Just wondering: Does M. O. smoke too?

“my kids are half-chinese..is hickok going to call them half-a-chink ?”
Thomas, congrats on your self-congratulatory voting for John McCain spiel. Mulatto, for the record Einstein, is not a perjorative term. It is a socially acceptable description of someone of mixed African and Caucasian race, period. I use it because the phony President loves referring to himself as an African American when pandering for votes, but touts his Muslim heritage when in the Middle East, bowing to dictators. You can call your kids whatever you choose, little boy, I do not care.

Perass Hilton   June 23rd, 2009 - 5:56 pm

Obami is just like me…

We’re both Pole Smokers!

Hickok   June 23rd, 2009 - 6:27 pm

Tommie Boy,
Mulatto is an acceptable term used to connote a person of African and caucasian race. Moron is also an acceptable term used to connote someone who doesn’t know that. You can call your kids whatever you wish, I do not give a hoot.

di butler   June 23rd, 2009 - 8:16 pm

It’s all about ME, ME, ME, ME!!!!!!!111ELEVENTY!!111!!!!!

I couldn’t give a rat’s rear if that jug-eared fool smokes or not. I am more concerned with all the other insane other crap he does and says.

Eileen for Freedom/Liberty   June 23rd, 2009 - 9:50 pm

Oh come on…you mean they don’t smell the smoke on your clothing?

America…just another example…that he is at least consistent in his life whether before his kids and/or before the American public…the mantra remains the same…

‘DO AS I SAY…NOT AS I DO!

Thank you Bilderberg Bush-Obama for yet another insight into your mysterious life!

“I’m a former smoker, but I stumble sometimes. Does that mean I’m not a former smoker? Not necessarily, as one needs to define former. I don’t smoke around my kids, but Rahm and I have an occasional puff in The Rose Garden. I also believe another reason that I’m a ‘former smoker’ is that I don’t purchase them, I just bum an occasional smoke off Janet Napolitano. I love her brand, they’re called, Lesbian Lights. So that’s my explanation, and I’m sticking to it. I’ve gotta go now, as I’m meeting with my speechwriter to come up with another vague, mealy-mouthed, pettifogged statement on the freakin Iran mess.”

Now who's the moron?   June 24th, 2009 - 9:29 am

“Mulatto, for the record Einstein, is not a pejorative term. It is a socially acceptable description of someone of mixed African and Caucasian race, period. I use it because…” The term, Mulatto, may not be a prerogative, genus, but clearly YOU used it as one otherwise why did you mention it? Any term can be used in this manner depending upon its context. You clearly meant it in your response but aren’t man enough to own up to your obvious bigotry.

What a dope!   June 24th, 2009 - 10:05 am

Hickok,
You wrote, “The Grand Mulatto Messiah said today…” Are you seriously trying to tell us that you didn’t intend to use the term, “Mulatto”, as a pejorative in this case? If you are then you are a liar as well as a jerk.

Hickok   June 24th, 2009 - 10:12 am

You Are A Dope,
I was just calling a spade a spade, DopeA$$. He is a mulatto in every sense of the word, not an African American. He even called himself a mutt. Albeit after the election, when he wasn’t pandering for minority votes. So there you have it, a$$wipe, now GFY, and have a nice day.

What a dope!   June 24th, 2009 - 2:22 pm

Now it’s calling a spade a spade. Do you have any other little non racial phrases that you want to add to the list? How about calling him niggardly instead of stingy? You aren’t fooling anyone, DopeA$$. We all know what you are. Now go burn a cross. Liar!

Hickok   June 24th, 2009 - 4:52 pm

What a Dope Fiend,
If I were a girly man like you, my feelings would be hurt by now. I use socially acceptable words and phrases, and you assign dastardly motives to me. Ouch!! Typical of a libturd to read racism into every written word. Al Sharpton has an opening on his staff for an Apprentice Racial Incident Detective. You should apply, freakazoid.

What a dope!   June 25th, 2009 - 9:24 am

You aren’t fooling anyone but keep on lying. It takes more than adopting a manly name to be a man. Perhaps you should call yourself “Hickey” instead.

Keep your sheets clean.
