Washington Post: Let President Obama have a cigarette, already
A photograph of President Obama with Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi has whirred the long-dormant "Is Obama smoking?" conspiracy machine back to life. Posted to Instagram by Renzi's spokesman, it shows the two leaders standing on a balcony adjacent to an office, as one might if he didn't want to smoke indoors. And Obama's holding … something in his hands. Something roughly cigarette-pack-shaped, and he's picking at the top of it.
WNU Editor: It looks like the US press corp has been keeping this story under-wraps .... it was the Italians who have released this pic and story. It makes you wonder on what else is the US Press Corp keeping under wraps?
