This is an entry from my blog called Fox Sense.

Obama smokes. Did you know that? I heard it on the news a few days ago. And do you know what the major question of the day was? Can we have a president that smokes?

Why the heck not?

George Washington had wooden teeth.
Abe Lincoln was ugly. (He said so himself.)
John F. Kennedy was too young.
George W. Bush has the I.Q. of a rock (or so they say).
Clinton had... well, you know...

Come on, just look back on the US history. We're a bunch of lunatics! We were the people who sailed to the New World when the rest of society thought the Earth was flat and that we were going to fall off the face of the planet. We were the first colony to pick a fight with Britain - the country with the biggest and strongest navy and the biggest freaking empire - while we were just a bunch of "Yanks" with pitch-forks and pistols running around like chickens with our heads cut off. Mind you, it was because of us the British lost their empire on which the sun never set. That little American Revolution prank sparked other colonial revolutions in the British Empire.

And yet, we're still their best friends.

That's the idiocy of the Americans. We pick a fight with our boss, make our own rules, fight amongst ourselves, and then save the rest of the world from Germany. Twice.

You ask if we can have a president that smokes? I ask if you can have an American that is a lunatic?

Absolutely.

Don't believe me? Watch the history channel or go find some homeless person. THEN you'll believe me. There are some WEIRD people in this country.

I think smoking is the least of our worries.

Honestly, people need to quit being so judgmental. If he smokes, so what? Just remember that he's in good company.
