President Obama marks the 36th annual Great American Smokeout Obama by urging smokers to put down cigarettes for good. More than 46 million Americans smoke, despite the fact tobacco use is the single largest cause of preventable disease and premature death in the United States.

1. What?!

Did Mr. Obama finally quit smoking?! Wow. One would think such a remarkable feat would get some media coverage...

2. Well, that's nice....

Any chance you could take the time out of your busy schedule to say one or two words in support of the Occupy movement? (Note: Using the faintly condescending term "frustrated" doesn't constitute support.)

3. Are you kidding me? What a dope.

4. Wonder why I delete your e-mail's and not contribute anymore?

Make a statement on smoking? Not OWS nor Republican attack's on you...Barack is Wall Street bought...Eventhough Wall Street gives to your #1 opponent? You are weak and purchased. Wish a progressive will step up to take your spot.
