    Default Smokers should be banned from nation’s top office

    He could have a point here.
    -------------------------------------

    Published Wednesday, June 4, 2008
    Editor, the Tribune: I voted for Barack Obama in the Missouri presidential primary. I now regret that vote after discovering that he is addicted to cigarettes.

    I believe this is a defining issue of character and judgment. I believe that smoking is indefensible in terms of health and family impact, and therefore anyone who smokes has exhibited very poor judgment. My opinion is that any person who is incapable of exerting enough self-discipline to quit smoking should be void from holding the most powerful position in our country.

    Self-discipline and good judgment are necessary for great leadership.

    There is much to be said in favour of modern journalism. By giving us the opinions of the uneducated, it keeps us in touch with the ignorance of the community.

    Wow, good thing I quit. Now Obama can make me his VP choice.
    Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
    - -- Aristotle

    Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.
    - -- The Buddha

    No I don't actually. There are plenty of legitimate criticisms of Obama.

    The trouble is that you never make those criticisms, you just find stupid elementary school level attacks.

    I'm not even sure if I'm voting for Obama or not. I just make it a point to call out idiocy whenever I can.

    Well obviously you're not capable of writing at my level, but I was just hoping that you had at least some basic grasp of the English language.

    I wonder if the same benign tolerance would be accorded a smoker with a "R" after her or his name....

    the president nor congress, etc should be allowed to smoke in their offices just like the rest of us. Other than that who cares ?

    Yes.

    I never heard anyone call for Tom Delay to be removed from office against the will of the voters.
