You can see a larger version of the poster and read about the controversy with the photographer at the link.
Gerard Vanderleun at American Digest gives his take along with more photos of Obama smoking plus a reprise of the original American Digest December 18th article along with the comments from that earlier post.

I don't understand the need for the Washington Post reporter to insist that Obama is smoking a tobacco cigarette when it's fairly obvious he's not. The reporter wasn't there and has no clue, so why pass of conjecture as fact. Obama admits that he smoked pot in his college years. The cigarette Obama is smoking looks hand-rolled and not assembly-line manufactured. And people smoke cigarettes palms-inward, with the cigarette between the index and forefinger. People smoke "Mary Jane" holding the cigarette with the pads of the thumb and index finger. He's smoking pot.
I understand the media's continual Obama-fellating. I just don't understand invoking it on this point given Obama's admission of college-years pot use.

RH,
If you follow the Gerard Vanderleun link it is even more obvious. He has more pictures from the series.
