However, asThe Guardiannoted at the time, the president himself didn’t comment.
“I constantly struggle with it,” Obama admitted during a news conference in 2009 (viaReuters).
“Have I fallen off the wagon sometimes?
Am I a daily smoker, a constant smoker?
He continued, “I don’t do it in front of my kids.
I don’t do it in front of my family.
I would say that I am 95 percent cured, but there are times where I mess up.”
Michelle reiterated that she’d never seen her husband smoking.
