Footage: Obama Fights Back with Chewing Gum

During his last visit to India, US President Barack Obama’s chewing gum made headlines.

 

Indian media reported that Obama grabbed everyone’s attention as he chewed away during India’s Republic Day parade.

 

As Prime Minister Narendra Modi spoke to the president, Obama could be seen playing with his gum, taking it in and out of his mouth for the entire world to see.

 

The US president's office explained after several photos surfaced of Obama’s frowned upon habit last year, that the latter uses the gum to fight off the urge to smoke which he quit almost four years ago.
