If you've read any of Barack Obama's books, you'd know as a teenager he used to smoke weed, and snort cocaine. |

He promised Michelle he would quit smoking before running for president – he didn'tIgbo or what does he smoke? He ate dog meat, snake meat, and roasted grasshopper while living in Indonesia I had a feeling he is from Calabar or Ondo for his dog eating skills He keeps on his desk a carving of a wooden hand holding an egg, a Kenyan symbol of the fragility of life Jazz no wonder he pummelled McCain senselessly |
