This, but it IS funny. Still, the guy looks like a crack head in a famine. He is hardly Michelle's target audience, and he needs to eat as many chili dogs as he can choke down. As it is today, the main danger to POTUS against which the Secret Service has to guard are floors with cracks in them. The Wildwood Flower got nothin' on the Messiah.

That's something you wouldn't have to worry about Gomez

Slow news week for the talk radio crowd, but they have to get their rage-fests in somehow I suppose.

Anyone who's ever been on a maintainable diet knows that there are always cheat days/meals - you need them to stay sane. It's obvious the guy is in good shape, so this is meaningless.

But let's put that aside. Even if he was 400 pounds, is there a genuine objection to his, or his wife's, or his administration's campaigning for the nation to eat better? I don't have much a problem with "do as I say and not as I do" - who cares what the speaker is doing if what he's saying is beneficial to me?

What are you talking about the guy is in good shape. Maybe in gluttonous middle America today he looks like a crack addict but watch some old movies (bogart era), all Americans used to look like that.

Another thing is he's an ectomorph body type. Hard to gain muscle or fat. Can be done but he has to work at it.

He's eating whatever the famous local meal is, that's what politicians do. I highly doubt he actually enjoys chili dogs, in fact the last time I heard him talking about food he was bemoaning the high price of arugula at Whole Foods. He'd probably rather be eating plain rice cakes or some crappy Tofurky shit.

Obama's from Hawaii where they eat a mixture of the local cuisine, classic Americana, Japanese, and Hawian-Mexican. Trust me, a chili dog presents no challenge to his palate.

Did Obama explicitly say not to eat chili dogs? If no, then this whole thread is a waste like the OP

You guys are harsh, comparing the OP to anarchist420 and Nemesis. Apt, but harsh.

Oh and I'm living proof that an ecotomorph can pack the pounds on with enough dedicated eating and slothful behavior.

Of all the things you could possibly call him out on this is definitely not one of them.

If everyone had his discipline (minus the smoking of course) with regard to diet we would not have any kind of problem with healthcare obesity diabetes etc.

God damn retarded news media. Being a hypocrite doesn't mean you're wrong.
Smoking is a good example. Smokers know smoking is bad for them. They might even tell other people that smoking is bad. They might even beat the shit out of their kids if they catch their kids smoking. If someone chooses to smoke, does that automatically mean they should tell everyone else to do the same as them? I would hope not.

The world would be a strange place if people only advocated things they did. Gay people would tell everyone else to be gay. Alcoholics would say everyone else should be an alcoholic. PETA members would tell everyone else to be totally insane.

Outrage? Just pointing out the hypocrite is all. I think it's funny and a little ballsy to ignore his wife's work so blatantly like that.

theres nothing hypocritical about it, hes not overweight and hes not a child who is learning about nutrition

We should ask Obama to name the four food groups from memory just to make sure he was educated in America and not Kenya.

I recall hearing Obama quit smoking more than a year ago; is this not the case?

I think Obama deserves extra props if he was able to quit cigarettes while in office. Having watched my own parents try many times and fail I know how difficult it can be. Can;t imagine what it's like trying while you have (probably) the World's Most Stressful Job.

I would say he looks more like an exercise addict than a crack head, but I guess I work from a different set of stereotypes.

This is the stupidest shit I've read or seen all day, and I just watched the new Gathering of the Juggalos 2011 infomercial Who cares its a chili dog. Also no one is being forced to listen to or participate in Michelle Obama's fight obesity plan. They let every first lady have a pet project.

That may be the meanest way I've ever heard someone called skinny. Isn't skinny a good thing? Wish I had that man's metabolism.
