Still smoking those cancer sticks. Is this why he won't release his medical records or least let them be reviewed by doctors?
Obama Admits Bumming Cigarettes on the Campaign Trail

NEW YORK -- Barack Obama says he wishes he had more time for staying fit. And the Democratic presidential candidate admits that he still occasionally smokes a cigarette.
"Most of my workouts have to come before my day starts," Obama told the magazine Men's Health in an interview for its November issue. "There's always a trade-off between sleep and working out. Usually I get in about 45 minutes, six days a week. I'll lift one day, do cardio the next."
If he had the time, Obama said, he would spend 90 minutes working out.
Quitting smoking didn't create "huge withdrawal symptoms," the Illinois senator said, partly because he smoked only seven or eight cigarettes a day at his peak. His wife, Michelle, pressured him to quit, he said.
Obama's advice for those trying to kick the habit? "Eliminate certain key connections -- that first cigarette in the morning, or after a meal, or with a drink," he said. "If you can eliminate those triggers, that should help."
Obama said he's bummed a cigarette a couple of times during the campaign.
"But I figure, seeing as I'm running for president, I need to cut myself a little slack," he said.
Obama said when he told daughters Sasha and Malia that he was running for president, they asked whether the "secret people" -- his Secret Service detail -- would be following them around all the time.
"And I told them, well, not right away," he said. "They've adjusted wonderfully. And I've tried to make sure that they haven't had to participate too much in the political process."

Is he really going to lose?

Hell, I'd sport Barack a smoke....

I wonder if as an alleged Constitutional Law professor he supports the right of anti smoking groups to air commercials of former smokers with missing limbs voiceboxes every 10 minutes?

Typical dem......always looking for a handout.

I guess you didn't hear about Obama's new proposal of having the government take control of the growing, harvesting and distribution of tobacco.
He thinks that's the best way to take the profit out of it and give it to the poor.

Not really. Depends on how much weight you place on the story. It's certainly nothing to change your vote over.

The next debate should include some kind of physical test like maybe a foot-race or obstacle course

Not if Michelle finds out, ...it could get reeeeeeal interesting then. :P

Who said it was "up there on the list of issues"?
Big Mal if you don't think it's newsworthy then just ignore the story. That's pretty much what I do when people constantly bring up completely irrelevant subjects like McCain's class rank at the Naval Academy.

lol so you think this is news worthy and show sway votes

Newsworthy? Yes. Sway votes? Here is what I said earlier in the thread:
