It seems Matt Drudge is sounding the alarm about Barack Obama's weight loss.
The Obama Administration says it's the result of hard exercise and skipping meals because the President is just too darn busy saving the universe to be bothered with the ingestion of comestibles.
I'll buy the first part, but not the second. Given what we know about Barack Obama's decisiveness, I'll bet the White House chef keeps giving him choices for dinner and Obama and his team haven't yet managed to finish their detailed review of the menu.
It's rumored that McChrystal is lobbying for the cheeseburger and fries, Michelle is pushing the organic tofu surprise, and the rest of the staff is trying to explain to Joe Biden what a menu is.
Over in the House, Pelosi has ordered breakfast, lunch and dinner for every man, woman and child in the country.
I assume Obama is smoking, at least occasionally. If he's really prone to stress, and needs an outlet, isn't that better than, say, drinking? I'd say so. What bothers me is that I'm sure they're bending over backwards to make sure he doesn't get caught.

Smoking (tobacco) is actually one of his better qualities.

Yep, imagine how much harm he could do to the country if'n he dipped.

You'd think Biden would be the one losing weight, being a regular at a restaurant that closed 20 years ago.

David - from this story it looks like Pelosi's diet consists mainly of ice cream -
