Gum Chewing, Cigarette Smoking

I am sure lots of people do it but I just saw Obama get off the plane in Iraq, shuffling along and chewing gum. I just don't think it looks good. Certainly not "Presidential". I guess it is better than him being seen in public smoking.

Yeah, I agree. That may do him in. Gum chewing is not a good look.

Seriously, did Obama give thanks to McCain for making the trip possible?

Weather he is chewing gum or smoking isn't my issue with him, but his lack of respect for those who raised him, his grandmother, the flag, the 2nd Amenment, his voting record, his choice in friends & wife.

Proving once again you can't follow a thread, what does this have to do with Obama looking dumb shuffling down the runway chewing gum?

It seems someone, and his friends, have an oral fixation with Obama.

The only time I chew gum is when flying to help clear my ears.

[Obama's] medical problem seems to be his multiple efforts to quit cigarette smoking, which he began at least two decades ago.
I just don't understand why Obama doesn't simply apply "hope" and "change" to overcome this huge life hurtle.

Did the Doc not prescribe "hope"? ...he certainly must have prescribed "change."


Obama, you ARE the weakest link! goodbye.

Cigarette smoking is not a medical problem. The effects of smoking can turn into a medical problem, but smoking in itself, problem free, is not a medical problem.
Who wrote that line? That's like saying "his medical problem is he doesn't wear his seat belt"

The guy is in his mid 40's and about to be the president of the United States.
Let the guy have a cigarette,,, and a scotch.

No cigars though, we know where they end up.

He's already shown he has no judgment. Why worry about discipline.

Apparently your mind reading is not any better than your reasoning. I enjoy a nice cigar, but that's about it.
