Obama's smoking issue

[olger]

Lo Tay.

Like you I have seen people who are nervous that don't smoke. My brother in law being one of them. No one said that all nervous people smoke, that overstatement was the contribution of the fellow/or gal above.

Remember, people can be real nervous inside and perhaps not show it on the outside - that is why the TJTA looks inside with greater alacrity.

Ohio regards,

...No one said that all nervous people smoke, that overstatement was the contribution of the fellow/or gal above...

Perhaps, but it was you that started this whole nervous smoker idea by giving us the erroneous conclusive statement that nervousness is the reason for smoking that automatically forced you to assume that Obama had to be a nervous person because he smoked.

And for that matter the drinking to cover pain idea is equally tenuous and erroneous. Sure some do, but most don't.

I think they should let him smoke. He has the toughest job any US President has had, ever.

President James Madison had it pretty tough in 1814 when the British burned down the White House. I wonder if Madison smoked??? Well,,, the White House certainly did.
