No Smoking Troops

The Obama administration's Pentagon is launching a study about a complete ban on smoking among members of the US military. No more iconic images like those seen in World War II and even in our current Iraq campaign of rough-hewn American warriors puffing away as they cut our enemies down. No now, these troops who face daily danger can not be allowed the freedom that Obama himself exercises to smoke away. Yes our stage managed hypocrite of a President still battles his smoking demon, but you will not see this in the complicit mainstream press. Just as the media willingly helped conceal FDR's polio-induced disability and JFK's systematic and widely known infidelity, today's White House reporter corps suppresses unflattering facts about Obama such as his tobacco addiction or his inability to throw last night's MLB All-Star game first pitch over the plate. In and of themselves, Obama's lack of physical prowess or his occasional discreet lighting up, may not provoke much consternation but taken with the media's failure to scrutinize his associations with Bill Ayers, Tony Rezko, and long membership in the church of Jeremiah Wright with anti-white and anti-American pronouncements, this amounts to a pattern of media malpractice where the old-line press have reduced themselves to Obama's willing partisans-henchmen advancing the statist, socialist cause.
