I think Chris Christie’s extreme obesity raises serious questions about his health. In July, he was hospitalized because he couldn’t breath. If he were to run for and win the nomination, we’d have to utilize much more than the ordinary scrutiny on his running mate, who could become president at any time. But Christie is not too fat to be president. He’s too much of a dick to be president.
Casual Observation
Never underestimate what a billion dollars in advertising can do to transform “too much of a dick” into “a patriotic leader and loving family man (who happens to be fully engorged).”
I disagree that just because he’s fat, he’s liable to drop dead. I don’t know his medical history, but I work at a women’s fitness club and we have heavy women who are actually quite fit, don’t have heart disease, diabetes, or any other serious health problems. And I had to be taken to the hospital a few years ago with chest pains and trouble breathing, and I’m thin. But as you said, I would prefer to focus on the fact that he is, in fact, an asshole. Let people look at his record and his performance, not his size.… Read more »
the fact that’s he’s been hospitalized in the last three months indicates to me that his health is not solid, and I do think his extreme obesity is probably the reason why.
It almost certainly isn’t helping much, but fat people can be very fit too.
If America sees him as a man who will take principled stands and then fight for those positions regardless what the “whip count” says he could send the Hamlet in the White House back to Chicago.
Then we are truly fucked.
America is thirsting for leadership and Barack Obama hasn’t provided it. Nobody who voted for him in ’08 was looking for Bush III.
you’re a broken record. It isn’t interesting.
But Christie is not too fat to be president. He’s too much of a dick to be president. Sadly Booman…you’ve got it reversed. He is not “… too much of a dick to be president” In fact his “dickness” is the sole reason that he is being considered. I have said here many times that the first person to stand up and start talking street to the American public will be a big national winner regardless of what he is saying, who he is or the content of his political beliefs. Christie is that person. But…his sheer, disgusting obesity will… Read more »
The thing about the pictures when Obama went to Patterson after Irene is that this past week Christie was saying that Obama was not doing much of anything.
He has to be consistent. That was a mistake.
I think he has asthma and that’s why he had trouble breathing.
I have created a brand new mnemonic for the New Jersey Governor if he decides to get in the presidential race. I will refer to him as 3C, i.e.,
Chris Christie Cream = 3C
Not being able to breathe is not a serious health problem for a Republican. Their brains, such as they are, are quite used to not getting oxygen.
