Oh Come ON: We’re Supposed to Believe That’s NOT a Pack of Cigarettes Obama Is Holding

Above is a picture snapped of our president chatting with Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi during the G7 summit.

White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest went on record to emphatically deny those are cigarettes in Obama’s hands:

Earnest told reporters Wednesday that he doesn’t know what the president was holding, and said he didn’t ask Obama what it was.

Referring to the photo, a reporter asked, “Does he have a pack of cigarettes in his hand?”

Earnest responded, “He does not.”

“What was it?” the reporter followed

“I don’t know. I wasn’t there,” Earnest said.

The reporter asked if Obama told Earnest what it was.

“You may not be surprised to hear that I have not raised this issue with the president,” Earnest said.

After the reporter continued to press, Earnest said, “I’ve told you that they’re not cigarettes. Let’s move on.” (source)

  2. Even if is a pack of smokes it is certainly not newsworthy. Smoking is not against the law.

  4. If the commander in chief wants to smoke there is nothing wrong with that....however ....expecting his staff to lie for him is very telling. Anybody out there watch "House of Cards?"

  5. Any poker player can tell you what's in the package, except in his case the deck is composed solely of race cards, the only card he knows how to play.
