If he did quit smoking, it was fairly recently. That means he smoked during his entire first term. But did you ever see him holding a cigarette? They kept it out of the public eye.
No one ever knew Jackie Kennedy Onassis was a fairly heavy smoker too. They just made sure the public never saw her smoking.

different world then and now..if Obama says he quit and he didn't it would be on the MSM in three seconds.

once again, you point out clearly how out of touch you are with the reality of todays world and how your own gov't works...sad. very sad...

and how would having a nationalized health care system, which all across the globe gives people better care at lower costs be a redistribution of wealth?
you really shouldn't attempt to talk about issues you clearly do not understand...

except that the medical care is much worse and paid for by only a fraction of the population....

The Proposed Republican Replacement For ObamaCare Is A Big Tax Hike
Yesterday, three Republican Senators — Tom Coburn (Okla.), Richard Burr (N.C.), and Orrin Hatch (Utah)– put forward a plan to “repeal and replace” the Affordable Care Act, otherwise known as Obamacare. They call it the Patient CARE Act, and my colleague Avik Roy says it is “the most credible plan yet” offered by the GOP.
Except the Coburn-Burr-Hatch plan (read it here) amounts, among other things, to a big tax increase. The main way that it remains budget neutral is by making employer-provided health insurance plans, which are currently not taxed, partially taxable as income. In fact, this income replaces income that, under ObamaCare, comes from taxing companies, including the tax on medical device companies paid by firms like Medtronic MDT -0.51% and Stryker SYK -0.25%.
This fact has not escaped the notice of some prominent health reform allies.“It is a huge tax increase on workers without any confidence that they will be able to afford health insurance in the future,” says Bob Kocher, a partner at venture capital firm Venrock who previously worked in the Obama administration.
It is “essentially a very large Republican tax increase,” says Ezekiel Emanuel, the Diane V.S. Levy and Robert M. Levy University Professor of Medical Ethics and Health Policy at the University of Pennsylvania and another former Obama advisor.“It’s quite clear the plan is to put a bigger burden on middle class Americans.”
Here’s what the Senators propose: right now, health insurance is not taxed as income. This is arguably the original sin of the U.S. healthcare system, which has insulated consumers from health costs and allowed prices to skyrocket. During World War II, wages were frozen but pensions and benefits were exempted; in 1943 the Internal Revenue Service ruled that these benefits weren’t taxable, either.
Many health economists believe this is a bad thing, because it shields people from paying their own premiums, and Coburn, Burr, and Hatch deserve credit for tackling this head on. But that doesn’t make this any more politically workable – or appealing to those of us who get health insurance through our employers.

Okay, let's dissect my post then and you tell me what isn't true.
Democrats put up the most resistance to Bush's warnings about the impending housing market crisis and reining in F&F.
(I have mucho evidence to prove this is true if you'd look at the videos and read the articles.)
Democrats had control of the purse strings two years preceding the recession.
(This is absolutely true. Democrats won back both houses in 2006.)
Obama spiked up the deficit to major proportions.
($17 trillion isn't enough spiking?)
The reality of Obamacare will sink in after March 31. If it fails, Obama will be blamed.
(How can this not be true?)
So what wasn't true? Speak up or shut up...as they say.

i seem to remember Bush resistance to a F&F reform bill that was co-sponsored by Barney Frank. but you know that already since i've only posted it 50 times!

Not smart enough to figure out how to reset your password? Why does that not surprise me.

Tom Cole Warns Tea Party Groups That They Won't Succeed In Influencing Special Election

""
Rep. Tom Cole (R-Okla.), an ally of House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) and frequent voice for moderation in the Republication caucus, said in an interview Tuesday that he doesn't think tea party-affiliated groups will succeed in influencing the special election for retiring Sen. Tom Coburn's (R-Okla.) Senate seat.

In an interview with Roll Call, Cole indirectly referred to groups such as the Senate Conservatives Fund and The Madison Project, which have encouraged Rep. Jim Bridenstine (R-Okla.) to enter the race.

“Groups coming from outside the state, coming to try and set the agenda, sorry,” Cole said.“You are welcome to come, but you ought to look at your track record.”""

Kind of shoots Obama's wanting to narrow the income inequality out the window. His own failed policies have widened it. The question is: Was it on purpose?

why is it you keep posting this lie when you have shown you cannot back it up?

are you really that morally bankrupt that you lie openly and repeatedly without remorse?

sad...very sad for you lois...

Progressives and All we need to do is elect someone to teach us science..

in 1992...

only 14.7 percent of those surveyed had taken three or more science classes in High School...
