Too fat to be President...?

[username]

So apparently, Barbara Walters asked Chris Christie if he might be too heavy to be President (article follows).

Do you think that's a reasonable question? Do you think he's too fat?

Personally, I don't see him as slovenly (like I view many fat people) so it doesn't bother me so much. However, I realized I might judge a woman differently. It's not reasonable but it's true. I can forgive a fat, hardworking man before a woman, I guess.

The other aspect is his health. Considered obese, he has many health risks. Then again, Obama smoked/smokes.

I was actually talking to my boss about Chris Christie recently, I told her if we see him starting to lose weight in the future that means he's going to make a run for it. I was only sorta/kinda kidding. I like him, I think Jersey is lucky to have him...but to answer your question, yeah I think one could be too fat to be Prez, we would be electing him not whatever yahoo he would choose as a running mate so he needs to be healthy to remain in office. He's a tough mutha & tells it like it is, I appreciate that in a person.

He smoked going in to office. Some people say he quit but I think he might be sneaking cigs behind the White House. Don't know.
