Should President Elect Obama be allowed to smoke in the White House?
Thе White House wаѕ designated аѕ a Non-Smoking Area bу former First Lady Hillary Clinton. Obama іѕ a smoker, although hе іѕ trying tο quit. Shουld hе bе аblе tο smoke іn thе White House, οr аt lеаѕt designate a " Smoking Area" ѕhουld hе desire tο light one up? And, maybe keep himself ѕοmе Cοld Colt 45′s іn thе White House frig!
No, I don’t reckon he should be allowed to smoke in the White House.
Laura Bush is also a smoker maybe he should question her about the "smoking hole".
I can see him not smoking in the open part of the house, because its a "federal building", and anywhere else in the country, you can’t. But, in his own private area, sure, let him smoke, he’s a grown up.
no
besides he shouldn’t want a designated area if he really has the intentions of quitting.
Meanwhile a half dozen guys got "smoked" in Iraq- gotta like those priorities. Keep on worrying.
LOL!! It’ll be his house for about 4 years… I reckon he’ll be able to designate his own zone! Besides the American public have a whole lot more to worry about than his smoking habits. I reckon the economy trumps that.
I don’t reckon the policies of a former administration would stand for a new one. It is completely up to the new president what he will allow in his white house.
In reckon he should be allowed to smoke on the balcony. I reckon it would be amusing to see him standing behind bullet-proof glass surrounded by Secret Service Agents just to grab a puff. It would be a fantastic photo-op!
No. I don’t reckon anyone should smoke in the White House even if they live there. If his battle to quit smoking is the best you can do…Obama will be president for a LONG, LONG time.
You might have had a legitimate question if it weren’t for the racist "Colt 45" comment, implying that all black men drink too much.
He should have to stand out in the cold next to the front door while he smokes his cigs.
Erm, what the hell, this is stupid, people are conserning about what he is going to do with poverty, corruption and generally stop people dying, you sir are worrying about if he is aloud to smoke.
Yes he should, it’s his own damn house.
If there is no smoking in the building he should have to abide by the law. We had a president once that thought whatever the president did was legal, that’s how watergate came about.
No, the White House is a National Landmark filled with priceless art and antiques – not to menton history,and it should retain its non-smoking designation. Obama should just quit. Besides, every person that works there would be exposed to his second-hand smoke.
