Relax, Mr. President, and Have a Smoke

Posted on | March 1, 2010 | 5 Comments

Pay no attention to the so-called “experts” :

After the president underwent a 90-minute physical exam at the National Naval Medical Center Sunday morning, Navy Capt. Jeffery Kuhlman, the chief White House physician, declared him to be in “excellent health.”
But Kuhlman still had some healthy recommendations for the president. First and foremost: “Continue smoking cessation efforts.”
Dr. Nieca Goldberg, a New York City-based cardiologist, said that despite the president’s clean bill of health, he may still be at risk for heart disease, because he is a smoker in a high-stress job.
“It’s great that he is physically fit, but it won’t counteract the fact that he still smokes,” Goldberg said. “To reduce his risk of cardiac disease, you can count his exercising as a benefit, but he needs to quit smoking.”

Screw that goody-two-shoes crap, Mr. President. Your health-care plan is doomed, you’re obviously under a lot of stress, and the last thing America needs is a Commander-in-Chief in the throes of a nicotine fit.
