President Obama was caught on a live
microphone Monday telling a United
Nations official that he hasn’t smoked in
six years because he’s scared of his
wife. The conversation between Obama
and Kiai began with the president
asking about Kiai’s smoking habit.
‘I hope you’ve quit smoking,’ Obama
says, according to a recording of the
conversation aired by CNN. ‘Sometimes,’
Kiai responds, before asking Obama
whether he’s kicked his habit.
‘I haven’t had a cigarette in probably six
years,’ Obama replied. ‘That’s because
I’m scared of my wife,’ he added with a
grin.
The two men laughed as Obama
assured he hadn’t had a cigarette in six
years thanks to the First Lady.
