Standing and Smoking

This doctored photo comes from derekclonts.com. The clouds in the background give the illusion of smoke.

Obama smokes a blunt

This photo of Obama in dreads and smoking a blunt comes from ning.com. Cigarette photos are more common in my experience.

Obama plays the blues

This doctored photo comes from FreakingNews.com. This photo of Obama smoking is more creative compared to the traditional smoking photos.

Another doctored image

Here is another doctored image found on Google images. The cigarette shading does not match the light fromthe rest of the photograph. More bad photoshopped photos to come as well as the reall things.

Advertisement for "Hope" cigarettes

This drawing was taken from Artadia.org. Appears to be charcoal or pencil. A nice advertisement for "Hope" cigarettes.

Osama Obama Poster

This image was taken from mrssatan.blogspot.com. An odd doctored image emphasizing ear size and linking Obama to Osama Bin Laden.

Mad Talking Skills

Here is yet another doctored image of Obama taken from Google images. Here the smoke appears to be more realistically portrayed. Apologies, I was unable to find a larger image.

A Poster in Hipness

This is a poster from the now defunct website ObamaSmoking.com. It appears some entity is buying up domain names concerning the Obama smoking issue. ObamaSmokes.org was the only one available.

Another Multiple Cig Shot

This is another photoshopped image from Google images. The ash of the cigarettes appears to be hard to duplicate.

Press Conference

Here is someone's take on Obama during a press conference while smoking. Taken from Google images.

Chicago Tribune article

Barack Obama says he won't smoke cigarettes in the White House

While the burning question of whether he smokes still rages, Barack Obama says he definitely won't be lighting up in the smoke-free White House. The president-elect addressed the subject during a television interview aired Sunday, acknowledging that he has sneaked a few puffs.

"There are times where I've fallen off the wagon," Obama said on NBC's "Meet the Press."

The does-he-or-doesn't-he question has been the butt of ongoing speculation.
Obama told the Tribune in February 2007 that he had quit at his wife's urging, but his comments this year have been somewhat hazy. He said in February that he was chewing stop-smoking gum Nicorette, in June that it had been months since his last cigarette, and in a November interview with Men's Health magazine that he was indeed smoking again—occasionally.

"But I figure, seeing as I'm running for president, I need to cut myself a little slack," he told the magazine, adding that he sometimes bummed a smoke along the campaign trail.

Obama's comments Sunday didn't really clear the air.

"I've done a terrific job, under the circumstances, of making myself much healthier," the president-to-be said. "And I think that you will not see any violations of these rules in the White House."

He said in the White House. That doesn't mean he might not sneak a few drags out in the Rose Garden.
