When you found out he smoked, did that make you lose a little respect for him? Personally, as someone who is not planning to vote for him, it actually made me respect him a little more. But the reasons are probably because it undermines a few liberal beliefs and my evil self laughed in a cynical way from such

Some liberal magazine gave him a 95% lefty rating.
He voted for partial birth abortions.
I dislike him intensely. Hollywood loves him. He is their new golden boy.

I actually think it was a good idea for him to have admitted it, and I respect him more for it.
Instead of any allegations about it coming out on the campaign trail, he's already fessed up to it, and said it was a bad idea, and that he regrets it.
I guess it's somewhat comforting to see that this guy running for President is a REAL person, who makes mistakes. That's worth 100x more in the "morality" department than a strongly worded political viewpoint.

I think showing how someone can be positive in nature but can still show signs of being human is why I like it. It shows he's not trying to impress 100% of the people and try to kiss up to society.

Why would having a disgusting and unhealthy habit make you respect someone? With your values, who would vare what you think is a good candidate? Your really need to grow up.

I wouldn't call myself an Obama *lover*, but I'm hopeful about everything I've heard him say and write so far. That said? It doesn't matter to me whether he smokes or not, as long as he doesn't subject non-smokers to his second-hand smoke.

I could care less about marijuana usage. We have bigger issues to worry about in this country.

All right, seriously, do you want a black muslim president. HIS MOM IS AN ATHIEST, HIS DAD IS A RADICAL MUSLIM CLERIC. No way is OSAMA going to become president if Texas is still a state.

No I don't really care. I used to be a smoker too and it was the hardest thing I have ever done to quit.

I could care less if he smokes. I'm planning on voting for him.
