You guys think this chain smoker will be hurt politically in one way or another because he is too weak to stop smoking?
-
Who is he?
-
Who is he?
I thought you were an american? Where you from? UK?
-
It's funny that the Republicans, in the midst of two failed wars, a broken border, and nonstop war borrowing, are attacking the brightest Democrat contender...
... for his name.
That's right. They sure as hell don't wanna talk issues, because they've ran shit for 6 years and the place is in shambles. So, attack the guy for his name. Nice sign of desperation.
No, he does smoke, he admits it. What are you referring to?

I am from Indianapolis. I work nights so I don't see much television or news :-\

He is a senator from Illinois. Supposed tp have a very bright future ahead of him. Got very popular giving the keynote speech at the DEM convention in 2004. I was just wondering if smoking could hurt the guy. I can't imagine it helping him.

I know. And I could care less. Clinton smoked cigars and weed. buch did coke for a decade, right? Who gives a shit what they did when they were young. Everyone that reaches that level seems to have done it as a youth.
I'm referring to your ad calling him "OSAMA OBAMA". The pic you posted.

It was just a pic I found. I like the guy, he seems smart. But he smokes now, what do you think? And stop taking shit so personally :)

Can't picture a guy running for president lighting up a smoke. At least FDR used some kind of funky cigarette holder.

I can't either. What kind of message is that? People on here(well the 15% that workout anyway ;)) are more health conscious than the general public, but I was just curious as to how his smoking would go over with the general populace.
-
Doesn't matter. What matters to me is that he doesn't seem nearly impressive in interviews as hyped.
-
Smoking seems to be becoming less and less socially acceptable anymore.It is getting so you cannot smoke in public places at all anymore,which I like.I can't stand cigarrett smoke...but it shouldn't effect his political career,as long as he is healthy enough to take office.

Smoking is being legislated out of existence and he still lights up? Bad career move by a politician.

When the sign says "NO SMOKING" they mean "NO SMOKING"

240 - Is it possible...
That the GOP knew about the coming of Obama long before 9/11?
And that they've carefully crafted this campaign of terror in order to make us feel that 'Osama' represents the greatest evil in the last quarter-century?
And by doing so, they've built a roadblock that Obama can never overcome - the fact that his name sounds so much like Osama?
-

Thats really, really stupid.
-
nope.
but it is possible that some in the GOP are resorting to attacks on his name instead of fixing their own policy which has gotten us into 2 wars, cost $2T in longterm costs, and cost 3000 lives?
And this coming from a man (me) who was a repub until early 2006.
240, there are lots of Republicans that don't follow Bush blindly. Including senators and Congressman. Why just give up on being a Republican? Work to fix what went wrong. The answer is not in just becoming a Democrat.

What the fuck? This is a free country and you judge how he would do politically because he likes to lite up a cig here and there?
Another thing, if republicans are resorting to attacking his name and his personal habits then they're truely pathetic pieces of shit that deserve to rot. Osama= Obama, quite possibly the most retarded analogy on the fucking planet, right along with this bullshit topic.
-
I
And I hate most dems on most issues... crybaby lazy asses.
Please explain what you mean by this. Seems kinda funny because Republicans in general are for big Corporation (trickle down theory)and Democrats are more for the common man...you know BLUE COLLAR workers who actually have to WORK, not just sit in an office. I am in no way saying office work /executive work is easy...but it is not PHYSICALLY taxing like breaking your back for 12 hours a day.

they're desperate, they're stuck between a rock and a hard place, they themselves deep down disagree with this "war" and know that we need to get the fuck out of there but their man is in the White House, they know that a change is coming and they have no answers for it.

I got an answer...get rid of "W"

i wish that was possible, easier said than done.

I am not judging him at all, merely raising the question of what voters would think. The only reason I brought this up is cuz my brother in law is a cardiologist and made a joke yesterday about moving to Chicago cuz smoking is being made cool again cuz of Obama. I don't give a fuck what he does, thats why I don't post on the politics board, I don't even see the correlation between bodybuilding and politics. If you guys wanted to really discuss politics I assume you would go to a real political board that doesn't have the same one or two people hijacking every thread and people treating them like they are intellectuals cuz they watch C span :P

He's black that will hurt..but not black enough..that will hurt..one white parent...that will hurt..one black parent ...that will hurt..not enough experience..that will hurt. He's priviledged..that will hurt. Smoking..yes that will hurt as well. Way to much early hype...we'll see.
-
Laura Bush is a chain smoker herself..but you don't see her doing it in public...Obama will tone it down for the public also...
-
Jackie Kennedy was also a chain smoker but their was never one photo of her smoking...
-
no way, really? link? i did not know that.
just google it, their are tons of links to it...Now that you know, you can see it in her face...She has that dried up face that heavy smokers get...
-

Could be that worried look that a mother gets when her daughters are wild as hell. Or could it be that worried look that one day, there will be a reckoning of that car accident in which a person was killed?
-
Who cares? This turd will get flushed in the primaries.

I KNEW IT. You can usually tell someone who smokes(if they are older) by the wrinkles around their mouth.Sounds silly but true.

I doubt it. It hasn't been a problem for Arnie http://ebaumsworld.com/2006/07/arniepothead.html (http://ebaumsworld.com/2006/07/arniepothead.html)

Don't like him, or trust him, he just spouts rhetoric, but if he is a chain smoker, then he is not thinking of the future, especially if he has kids or plans to have kids. African-American children are more likely to get asthma and respiratory related ailments due to second hand smoke than other children. What about lung cancer? Not thinking about that.

Probably has few a day, so not really a big deal. ::)

No, he is a chain smoker and is a horrible role model for the kiddies. I heard he was trying to bring smoking back like Justin Timberlake brought Sexy back.

I heard he used to smoke pot, and still probably does. This guy is awesome! ;D Pot is harmless while cigs are not, but its his life.
-

There is FAR more tar inhaled while smoking a joint than a cigarette. What pot heads call resin is actually tar.

tar does not cause cancer. There's no proof that marijuana cause cancer.. ::) Tobacco is grown in radioactive soil and has harmful, cancer causing chemicals. You sound like some fucking anti-pot nazi. Do some actual unbiased research and make sure it's not from the DEA or any other branch of government and you'll see that pot is harmless.

YOU are inhaling SMOKE you fucking idiot.THAT is not harmless.

Being half black will hurt him more than anything. Second thing that will hurt him is his stance on the issues. Part of the reason I'm not buying this media created Obama hype is he hasn't said squat yet. The feel good speeches are nice, but he has to define himself on issues that are important to the American people. He will immediately alienate half the public once he does that.
The smoking won't help either (assuming it's true). I probably wouldn't vote for a smoker.
-
you'll vote for a guy who knew about 9/11 and let it happen.
But you won't vote for a guy who smokes.
boy, it sounds like you have your priorities straight. As a youth you were probably told to eat your veggies, then sent to play in traffic.
The 911 post whore is alive and well I see. Don't you at least feel dirty sometimes? I mean you're not even getting paid to prostitute yourself.
-
Wait, you attack me and won't address the point?
LOL... there's a shocker.
LOL. "As a youth you were probably told to eat your veggies, then sent to play in traffic." Ah the things you learn in correspondence school. One of them is obviously not critical thinking. LOL.
But carry on with your nutty CT talk in like every thread on this board. Hey did someone buy you a coo coo clock for Christmas?
-
Nothing changes the fact you'd vote for a man who didn't stop 9/11 when he could have.
But you wouldn't vote for a man who uses tobacco.
Monster priorities.
Are you referring to Bil Clinton? Cuz I saw the ABC movie, he could have prevented it, but he was too busy getting BJ's.
-
nah, Bush was told in early August about the attack dates, the mode of attack, and 5 of the terrorists' names, by German ambassador. Also about that time the FBI delivered him an emergency message, Israeli Mossad told us, and others. THe dam kinda "broke" on the secret.
Bush did nothing. And when you know something illegal is going to happen, and it's your job to stop it and you don't, well...
According to Disney/ABC Clinton was more at fault than Bush who had not been in office for very long.
-
Careful this doesn't turn into a political argument - it's not.
The sitting US president knew an attack was coming and did nothing.
OK, I am just saying that according to the movie which appeared on ABC, Clinton knew about it and did nothing. But I hate talking politics anyway. So many people are unhappy with our govt. and it doesn't make sense to me? People with way too much free time to spend on a MB(myself included) complaining about our govt. just doesn't seem right. In some countries, people have to work outside in extreme heat or cold for like 10 hours a day just to eat. Just seems weird to see so many people upset with the greatest country in the world, thats all.

Obama is a coke head.
