If You Got 'Em
Our President-Elect is a smoker. Okay, he's quit (he says), but he still probably has the longing.
So let me recommend he smoke, and smoke freely, once in office. I know it's bad for your health, but so is the Presidency, according to before-and-after photos. I say start smoking, and don't feel embarrassed about it. Unlike, say, drinking, smoking doesn't dull your judgment--probably makes it sharper. After he's out of office he can go on nicotine patches. Until then, the last thing we need is a President on edge.
(Besides, we've got a Governor out here who smokes cigars and he's the healthiest man on earth.)

The Presidency is more about image now than ever before- appearing to be in control is close to being as, if not more important than actually being in control (hence, serious candidates, no matter what their views should appear in videos with animal slaughtering in the background or take prank calls from Canadians).
I do not believe that President Obama will take any poll-crashing advice.
If he's going to smoke, he can't be seen to be furtive about it. He'd better do it on the White House lawn while walking the new dog and wearing a fedora. Preferably with Sinatra or Dean Martin playing out of an open window from the oval office.
