It’s just another case of United States President Barack Obama breaking his own rules. The chief was reportedly caught selling cigarettes to minors during his early July 2014 visit to Colorado. Miranda Slater, the mom of fifteen-year old James, says she was initially furious when she discovered her son had purchased tobacco from the president.


“No son of mine is going to smoke cigarettes,” The Denver native said. “But to find out James bought them from Barack Obama? No way. I was mad, yes, that he had cigarettes. What mom wouldn’t be? At first I didn’t believe him. Kids will say anything to get out of trouble. I took the pack away from him, only to find a presidential thank you note, with Barack’s signature, tucked inside.


Unbelievable.” Slater says she then put a call into the White House to get the full story on how her son managed to get cigarettes from the president. After several unsuccessful attempts to contact White House staff, she called us, at National Report, to get her story out. From what we know, Obama sold at least 50 packs of cigarettes to Colorado minors, at an astonishing price of $20.00 each; double the average price per pack in the nation.
