Anyone who has a problem with this, doesn't understand the health issue that smoking is in America.
If just one person doesn't pick up smoking due to this, it was well worth it.

Maybe if he and th eother Cable Guys took their MEDS we wouldn't be driven to Smoke!
there is a Theory that smoking actually increase brain activitie- the Nicotine Kicks Up the Speed. Maybe that 's why Chris doesn't want people to smoke - We're Mentally Too FAST For Him

I can hardly wait for the "Obama poops" video.

Will there ever be an end to the trivial about Obama here? In my 50+ years of life I have never seen so much false praise heaped upon someone with so little substance and so little substantive public service.

Yesterday he was a nobody, but thanks almost exclusively to two issues; he's black and the hatred for all things Clinton, he's the new U.S. presidential messiah.

The liberal baby boomers have lost touch with reality. What a sad state of affairs.

like this sell-out has any credibility

it seems that guns, smoking, sex and religion causes a certain segment of the populace to lose their minds. :) frankly, humans have smoked tobacco since they discovered fire. the real anger ought to be at the cigarette companies who add addictive poisons to the cigarettes. oddly, nobody ever wants to talk about that. water would be bad for you if they added half the crap they add to cigarettes.

This is clearly as serious as the two ongoing wars, the economic crisis...

Thank you, Mr. Matthews, for going apeshit on us once again.

Chris also went after Obama for not leaving the church and contributing thousands of dollars after the comments of Rev Wright were known. And I suppose Chris left the Catholic Church when we found out priest after priest was sexually assaulting little boys and Cardinals were covering it up and transferring them to new sources of victims.

Obama was ready to admit that he had fallen off the wagon before Matthews stepped all over the question and moved on to his pre-planned joke. Then Matthews had to make it an uncomfortable situation when he tried to poll the audience.

I like that it came up because, if there is one thing that irks me about Obama, it would be his smoking habit. Being that I've only known one person to ever quit successfully, I do care in knowing how Barack is doing with this. Unfortunately, Matthews sort of went about it awkwardly.

who the hell cares. there will be no smoking in the camps. happy?

I'm not sure I heard this right. But, I think Matthews asked Obama when he had his last cigarette and Obama talked and taled, but never answered the question. So, we don't know if he actually quit yet or not.
