Smoker

Now I actually trust him even more. DC is full of gym-rat, self-important, bureaucrat replicants....
Barack Obama's revelation that he is thinking about a 2008 run for president set off a predictable flurry of prognostications this week. Politics-watchers have speculated about how the electorate would react to everything from his youth to his pigmentation to his acknowledgement that he had messed around with marijuana and "maybe a little blow." But a far more interesting, if less legally dicey, bullet point was buried in a few of the recent stories about the Illinois senator's ambitions: Obama is a cigarette smoker.

He's just the kind of bastard who will give up smoking as soon as he gets elected, just to set an example for the kids.
