Prez elect says Only smokin' in the White House will be...the Jazz music!

Barack Obama pledges not to smoke in White House
BY Michael McAuliff DAILY NEWS WASHINGTON BUREAU
The jazz will be smoking, but the President won't be in the Obama White House. The President-elect declared Sunday that he would make the First Family's home the "people's house" and open it up for science seminars, kids groups and music - specifically classical and jazz.
There won't be any hipsters lighting up while blowing their horns, however, said Obama, who has been struggling to ditch his own cigarette habit. The soon-to-be quitter in chief told NBC's "Meet The Press" that he will abide by the smoke-free rules of the White House, even if it's tough.

    The first time I heard that our new President smoked, I thought to myself, "El Comandante...he's a "regular" person just like the rest of us." LOL

    I can't help but wonder what brand he smokes. He looks like a 'Marlboro Red' or maybe a 'Marlboro Lights' man to me.

    My brother swears it must be Kools or Camels. Not! El Comandante is way too elegant to be a Camel or Kools man.

    After searching the web relentlessly, I found no legitimate fotos of El Comandante with either a cigarette pack or cigarette itself. He's a "closet" smoker like many of us likely are.

    Here are some very down-to-earth photos of our new President elect. I hope you enoy them.
