Obama Caught in Open Mic Moment Joking About Smoking

President Obama has made a few jokes over the years about his history of smoking, but a new one caught in an open mic moment may have hit a bit too close to home.

The president was speaking with U.N. official Maina Kiai, and the conversation happened to be recorded. In talking about his past smoking, Obama cracked wise a bit.

“I haven’t had a cigarette in probably six years. That’s because I’m scared of my wife.”

Oof. Well, at least he kept his cool.
