Tonight we've got BREAKING news that St. Barack of Obama "fell off the wagon a few times" since he quit the cigarettes a year ago. This means he still has some "regular human" genes and that Hillary is sure to announce that she has started smoking weed again, at 3 a.m.

Obama told Chris Matthews on Hardball just now, "I fell off the wagon a couple times during the course of it, and then was able to get back on. But it is a struggle like everything else."

Spoken like a true Muslim Smoker.

And then Our Barack turned the whole thing into a sweet discussion of middle age and walking his daughters down the aisle when they are married in the Rose Garden, during his fifth term, and how the issue is really about health care, which is so expensive, because people with no Hope just keep smoking because really, what else do poor people have to enjoy in life? Other than meth and car races on the teevee, we mean?
