Obama: Yeah, but did he inhale?

(Photo by Geierunited)
When a recent photo of President Obama showed him to be holding “something roughly cigarette-packed-shaped,” a chain reaction quickly fired up.

Inquiring minds now want to know just what the president was hanging on to.  An old habit?  Or perhaps just a deck of cards.

It took an ace writer like Philip Bump of The Washington Post to dig down deep into the matter.  After mulling over the sordid possibilities, Bump concluded:  We are, none of us, without our bad habits…  Therefore, for God’s sake, let the man smoke an occasional cigarette if he wants to.

Bump then invited everyone and his brother-in-law to e-mail harangues about “how irresponsible that attitude is.”  His only stipulation regarding such complaints was this:  Please include your own personal bad habit and what your plan is to kick it.
