Perhaps Michelle actually wants her husband... TDale313 Jan 2013 #10

who cares???? this obsession with what boner said to obama at the inaugural dinner reminds HiPointDem Jan 2013 #19

Obviously, you care enough to reply. Why not use 'trash thread' rather than trying to control what msanthrope Jan 2013 #33

Hey Boehner: No one cares if you smoke or not. FSogol Jan 2013 #20

Well, he really wanted a cigarette & maybe Obama partakes occasionally or he's jus a ball-buster. judesedit Jan 2013 #21

I'm wondering if Boehner's wife is looking forward to him keeling over? LiberalFighter Jan 2013 #32

Wasn't this a Seinfeld episode with Marlee Matlin? Arugula Latte Jan 2013 #22

That's so true. I've a friend whose husband smokes and she picks up the smell on her person. Lone_Star_Dem Jan 2013 #60

The book swap site I belong to lists "smoke smell" as a no-no. dixiegrrrrl Jan 2013 #71

I noticed it years ago LiberalFighter Jan 2013 #69

since her husband smoked during most of their marriage, she apparently was able to tolerate the HiPointDem Jan 2013 #42

Maybe, but I used to smoke and my husband hates the smell. Lone_Star_Dem Jan 2013 #43

Oh, yeah. SheilaT Jan 2013 #96

landlords have no-smoking rules because the incidence of smoking had decreased & moved steadily HiPointDem Jan 2013 #67

That makes sense. And it's just the sort of insensitive, stupid thing Boehner would ask. gateley Jan 2013 #27

Harmless stuff...mostly, it was an excuse for Michelle to show her disdain for Orange Man BeyondGeography Jan 2013 #28

Or for PrezO's difficulty kicking the addiction to nicotine. elleng Jan 2013 #34

it is an insult to women. men know it. bohner knew it. and the two women sitting there seabeyond Jan 2013 #37

I wrote what I wrote because the President was laughing his ass off BeyondGeography Jan 2013 #63

and he also connected to michelle touching her back. what did you expect obama to do, call him out seabeyond Jan 2013 #79

It's also what they do when it's no big deal, which this wasn't/isn't BeyondGeography Jan 2013 #81

you are right. men do not think insulting a woman, with a good laugh, is a big deal. i get that seabeyond Jan 2013 #82
