“President Obama” Gets Even Cooler

Posted on April 3, 2008 by andrew

Reason number… whatever… why I love Barack Obama:

During an interview with MSNBC’s Chris Matthews Wednesday night, Barack Obama — a former smoker — was asked when he had his last cigarette. “I fell off the wagon a couple times during the course of it, and then was able to get back on,” Obama responded. “But it is a struggle like everything else.” And now ABC News’ Jake Tapper has weighed in with an example of an instance in which he was sure he’d smelled smoke on Obama. (Obama’s campaign denied it.)

Remember the earlier days of the Bush administration when The West Wing was still good and everyone dreamed of living in President Bartlett’s happy liberal fantasyland instead of the crapfest we’d been dealt? Just wait until President Obama is dropping a lit cigarette in an emptied National Cathedral and yelling at God! How awesome will that be?
