are you really gonna double down on providing a “source” that obama only smoked marlboros and call someone a “fn idiot” when your “source” not only doesn’t mention any specific brand but also explicitly states that a white house spokesperson advised that the thing obama is holding in the photo is not a pack of cigarettes?

to quote another person in this thread, please stop it with this nonsense.

That is 100% a pack of Marlboro cigarettes. He is pulling one out.

There are plenty of articles on his smoking habit it wasn’t a well kept secret. You can do your own homework.

Here asshole. That’s from HIS WIFE. Hope that’s credible.

>What brand does Obama smoke?

>Michelle Obama told the Chicago Sun-Times in 2004 that Obama smoked Marlboros. While he's still thought to prefer Marlboro Reds, he also admitted that he "bummed" cigarettes during his 2008 campaign, so he may not be a Reds purist.

how does this unattributed quote prove your argument? it clearly states that he may not have been a purist because he bummed cigarettes.

i don’t think you fully understand how this whole debating things works.

you’re also positively freaking out over a single, unimportant joke in the first 5 minutes of a 120 minute movie. touch grass man

You’re fucking incredible man. I could show up to your house with Obama right now and light up a whole carton of Marlboro Reds and you’d still have a come back.

You People.

hey man. your judgment is fully sound. your facts are checked and there is a 0% chance that obama ever smoked a newport in his life. and comedy has to exclusively be based in fact. this is factual and cannot be argued. thank you for taking the time to educate the rest of us single-brain-celled plebes. your genius knows no bounds and truly you are the king of cigarettes. may your throne be always acrid and properly yellowed from nicotine stains. 🙄

Holy shit. Please man leave me the fuck alone.

I said Obama smokes Marlboros. He does as confirmed by numerous sources and his wife. You said he didn’t. I showed you he did. Therefore you lost and are just pushing buttons now. So stop.

You do know there are Newport Reds right?

I do.

However, himself and his wife are on the record saying he smokes Marlboros. I have no stock in Phillip Morris or reason to make this up I promise.

Not to mention, if they are Newport Reds my point is the same. The joke is predicated around the menthol stereotype and Newport being the historically “Black” cigarette as they only produced menthols in most markets up until around the late 90s early 2000s and it was argued their advertising often appealed to the “colored community.”
