Obama's Smoking is a Poor Example to Our Youth

It has been repeated millions of times about how the President is a role model, especially to the young and impressionable. Well, what more impressionable thing can you show to a teenager than smoking?

The President is a smoker, which has been, for the most part, hidden by the media, and allows such a terrible habit to get the better of him. For a man who wants to juggle the world to not be able to get over his own temptations is a strange thing, at least.

The President needs to make a special speech or a children's special talking about how smoking is so destructive to the human body. He needs to explain that peer pressure is not a reason to start smoking or taking drugs. He needs to make sure to draw a very clear line with today's youths, and not have them follow in his example.

With rock stars and actors taking drugs, athletes taking steroids, and the President smoking, what role models (except their family) do children have any more.

President Obama needs to do this as a favor to sufferers of lung cancer and mesothelioma. He owes us that much.

What the Hell is Going on in Greece?

Being someone of Hellenic descent, I'm looking at the current situation in Greece and just two words come to mind: Grow up. Greece has had a long history of political extremism, including multiple Marxist parties. It's about time that the people, especially the young folk, settle down and begin to attempt to repair what's wrong instead of blaming everyone else.

Instead of trying to cause problems for the government for no apparent reason, create a get-out-the-vote drive. Instead of blaming the Turks for current problems, write to the government asking to build relations with Turkey. Instead of belittling the United States, why don't you move here instead of being jealous?

These riots aren't accomplishing anything and are damaging peoples' lives and well-being. These students and anarchists appear to be doing what's en vogue and are not thinking for themselves. Grow up.
