Today as I walked through the store and looked at the magazine rack I found the most interesting thing on the front of one of my favorite magazines. I love "health" magazines simply because I am a runner and workout queen and when I saw the cover of October's issue all I could wonder is, can I smoke and still be a healthy person? I wonder??? I loved smoking but quit and now run marathons, I love running. I wonder if the pres would like to take whirl around DC with me in October when I come up to run the Marine Corp Marathon? I mean he must be in shape? He has graced the cover of Men's Health TWICE! Shouldn't we as health fanatics look up to the commander in chief, even if he smokes?

Yes, still smokes!!

This is what he stated to Men's Health: Quit smoking (as often as you need to)"There wasn't some dramatic moment [when I quit]," he says. "Michelle had been putting pressure on me for a while. I was never really a heavy smoker. Probably at my peak I was smoking seven or eight a day. More typical was three. So it wasn't a huge challenge with huge withdrawal symptoms. There have been a couple of times during the campaign when I fell off the wagon and bummed one, and I had to kick it again. But I figure, seeing as I'm running for president, I need to cut myself a little slack."

However this is what he stated to ABC/CBS: At his press conference this afternoon, President Obama, who calls himself a "former smoker," acknowledged that he still occasionally falls "off the wagon."

If you have been a smoker, you don't fall off a wagon.....you can't just smoke one! It's like a Lay's potato chip, you can't just eat one! By the way Lay's aren't healthy but damn they are good!!

10 Reasons to Run for President, or so they say.......

1. To change the current illegal immigrant status of this country.
2. To find alternative to the use of oil?
3. To help with the health insurance crisis of America.
4. To help our homeless, whether they are vets or non veterans.
5. To decrease taxes (to the poor, democrats say and increase to the rich or decrease them across the board as the republicans say).
6. To aid in education.
7. To keep free trade alive or kill it?
8. To keep our country safe.
9. To keep a woman’s right alive or kill it?
10. Stronger punishment for criminals?
    
    
    Every Democrat or Republican has his or her belief but isn’t it time we changed this country to believe that things have changed? A US where we don’t have to be an ultra conservative or an extreme socialist? I mean wasn’t this country built on the belief you came here to BUILD the American dream? What are some American’s wanting, the American dream to be GIVEN to them? Why is it the other taxpayer’s responsibility to give someone else their hard earned money? Just because they had the gumption to get up off their ass to work hard and make something of themselves there are now penalties for this? Why then, would we keep this dream? If the government is going to continue to want to give it away then why work for it? Shouldn’t everyone in this country want the same things and work just as hard for them? Why so many handouts? SOCALISM is here in the Democrats and in some Republicans (aka McCain). Here is my breakdown of how to solve some of the issues without fail but of course the house and senate would have to pass these ideas….bet these have been thought of but no one is willing to work to have them done. Color outside the box why don’t you??????
