CC InDecider You Make the Joke Challenge – Obama is Smokin'!
We've been so impressed with the funniness of our readers, that we decided to tap your brains for another weekly project. The You Make the Call Joke Challenge. Every week, we'll point you toward a news item that's dying to have fun made of it, and then you can have your chance to fun make of it. Or, er, something like that.
This week, we're asking for your help in commenting on the scandal that's currently rocking "journalists" with lots of free time on their hands: Barack Obama smokes cigarettes! Can the Illinois Senator keep his promise to the American people that he'll quit?
Here's what we'd like from you: Write your best and funniest piece of advice to help Barack quit his "dirty little secret" and leave it in the comments. Enter as many times as you like. We'll choose a winner middle of next week.
Thanks for helping us to do our jobs. We owe you one.

Mr. Obama…..if I may, I have a suggestion on keeping you "off the smokes"
Each time you reach for a smoke, have a staffer show you a picture of Ann Coulter, naked, on top of a mountain of rocky road ice cream, smoking a cig. I am pretty sure we can get her to go for it if we tell her it is for Cheney's birthday.
Or, you know, you could just do that rubber band on the wrist thing.
If smoking were the only flaw of a potential President, now wouldnt that be exceptional? Clearly, this story was brought to us by Fox news…and you know you can trust any network whose tagline changes from "Fair and Balanced" to "We Report You Decide." Well I have decided, I would rather have a President with a black lung than one that has no brain.
I think he should quit. They say each cigarette takes 11 minutes off your life. And really, who wants to take those 11 minutes away from the White Supremacist who will shoot him on Inauguration Day?
Sure smoking kills. But that's why we have a vice president, too.
Insight from outside (Denmark)
I would like to share an outsider’s view of the situation, since (which is commonly known) the outsider sees most of the game. The WTO estimates that one third of the world population smokes. That's roughly 2 billion people. How can 2 billion people be wrong? Barack is a man of the people, he stands up for the man on the ground. That man wants to smoke, so I say: You smoke Mr. Obama – you smoke!
Barack has been frowned upon because of his middle name, he has been called an Oreo, but he has not been called a quitter. Now is not the time to quit!
If you stop smoking you wont need to color your lips blue to make your teeth look whiter.
Obama has every right to smoke. His ancestors plowed the tobacco fields of the south centuries ago. He has every right to indulge in his ancestors hard work.
Oh, wait…
Although smoking the polls would be considered good news by the Obama for President camp, it might dredge up some unwanted imagery. Or, if he had some mirrors to hold up, the smoke would really come in handy around election time. A nicotine patch might help Barack quit the cancer sticks, it worked for chimps and Ted Danson. But I think we should let him keep lighting up because sooner or later he'll have to have something to do after he f**cks the country over like most Presidents.
oh ya i forgot the only way obama can quit is to get hipnotized by hillary.
today in the news obama pulls out a big lobbyist an lights up a big wad of campaine funds while dragging on the shirt tails of americanism to satiisfy and stimulate his craving for big buisness.
