Wall Street Journal columnist Daniel Henninger has surprising advice for Barack Obama: start smoking again.
From the Wall Street Journal (subscription required):
If it is true, as Michelle Obama said in February, that her husband isn’t smoking anymore, maybe he’d better start mellowing out with the cigs again before it costs him the presidency.
The Barack Obama we’ve been seeing lately is a different personality than the one that made a miracle run to the White House in 2008. Obama.2008 was engaging, patient, open, optimistic and a self-identified conciliator. Obama.2011 has been something elseâtesty, petulant, impatient, arrogant and increasingly a divider.
Hard to argue with Denninger on this one.
