Okay so he is over weight. Big deal. How about judging him on something really important like his policies?

GWB was in great shape.

I don't see the correlation between physical fitness and ability to be a good president.

Yeah, I was mostly poking fun at him. I recently saw a candid rear view shot of him and all I saw was a whopping huge ass looking back at me. :D

However, there's something there in the sense that we'd want a president that's not got one foot in the grave when considering how much more mentally straining it is being the president compared to being a governor. Ronnie Reagan comes to mind in this regard.

I'd sure be surprised to see him jump into the race at this late date though. It seems like Christie is positioning himself for the next Pres. race.

I agree with the idea being tossed around that he may want to run as Vice Pres. this cycle to give him a much better angle at the presidency in 2016.

Huh? Look at anything that I post about abortion/religion and you'll feel differently.

I'm fairly strongly anti-life (support abortion, the death penalty, legalized euthanasia and letting stupid people fall victim to their own idiocy) which means that on some some issues I support the standard conservative take on things and on others I'm quite liberal. I'm also anti-religion, which means I have a hard time stomaching the modern Republican party.

Oh maybe I should start looking at those type of posts but it's hard to stomach the Right Wing rants especially when I don't give a flying fuck about Religion and I am a strong supporter of Pro-Choice.

I say the same thing to the Righties about President Obama being black well Rush Limbaugh calls him sort of black ;)

the point is that someone in that condition obviously has no self control. do you really think that has nothing to do with how he would end up performing his job?

if there's one thing everyone knows, it's how Winston Churchill's lack of self control made him a terrible prime minister.

He has no control over eating. I'm sure you have vices, too. We all do, or will. I've never met somebody who didn't.

have you ever been to a messy person's house? their car and office always look just as bad. i doubt gluttony is any different. just look at how this phat phuck pig acts a governor, he has no control over spending, using helicopters all over the place to haul his lard filled body.

Again, he wears his vice on his sleeve. Many don't, but still have issues.
