Face it: what we got in office now is a DIVA

  So it's all over the news today that the Left is obsessed with Chris Christie's weight, since it's rumored he too may enter the presidential fray, not to mention the news media who just can't see a person who isn't skinny and isn't obsessed with working out as the current POTUS.
  Read this, for example, at the Washington Times:

The prospect of New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie as a presidential candidate must vex the liberal media. From out of nowhere, a lavish discussion of Mr. Christie’s weight has erupted in the press, providing a veritable smorgasbord for journalists intent on proving that (a) Mr. Christie would be physically incapable of holding the job, (b) voters would be turned off by a First Fat Guy and (c) chubby people can’t control themselves and therefore can’t control the country.

  And this from the one time fattie Al Sharpton, the dispenser of all things Brawley wise and wonderful:

SHARPTON: So what I think we should do is put Governor Christie in jail for 90 days. No, you don’t want real people on my diet. But I do think that it is very important that we do stress, I think Mika’s right, the obesity problem.

  In fact, skinny POTUS is so obsessed with his workout that he's willing to shut down a neighborhood when he is in a different city and wants to go to a gym. As usual, this information can be found at a European website about an incident in LA:

A 40‑strong motorcade comprised of blacked-out SUVs, Cadillacs and two armoured limousines was parked outside the building. SWAT teams lined the rooftops – their black balaclavas just visible in the sunlight – and above, a Vietnam-style helicopter presence was starting up. President Obama had come to stay. 

  He's skinny, but he doesn't travel light. He needs at least a 40 strong motorcade; surely he could pick a hotel that has a fitness room or carry some equipment (have you ever used a TRX, Mr. POTUS?) in one of those 40 heavy vehicles, but noooo...
  Anyway, the British paper follows the Obama workout commentary with remarks about Christie's heft, pointing out that American comedians are already picking on Christie, not that they ever did that for tubbies Sharpton or Nadler or any leftie fatties:

There’s a problem, though. Christie is a large man – large enough to inspire talk-show host David Letterman to feature a Top Ten list of reasons Christie could never get into the White House. They include: “He’d have to hire a Secretary of Cake”, “Taxpayers would have to pay for the President’s second seat on Air Force One” and “The new national anthem would have to be the Chili’s Baby Back Ribs song”. 

A producer friend puts it more brutally: “Christie’s eloquent, clever and likeable, but weight is too much of an issue in the US – too much of an Achilles heel. America was ready for a black president, but it’s not ready for a fat president.” There’s always another barrier to break down. 

  Indeed, our current POTUS, the esteemed skinny one, feels that America itself is going, well...you heard it already, I'm sure. Soft:

"I mean, there are a lot of things we can do," Obama said. "The way I think about it is, you know, this is a great, great country that had gotten a little soft and, you know, we didn't have that same competitive edge that we needed over the last couple of decades. We need to get back on track."  

  That sort of presidential nagging, whether concerning literal or figurative softness, about various aspects of our personal habits, behavior and traditions has become the new normal.

  We might issue a warning, however, to our high and mighty overlords of the Left and the media.
  Have y'all in the White House and press seen this map, from the government's very own website?

  Yes, that's right. 

  A good number of the US are FATTIES, wiping the Doritos grease off our fingers as we tap our keyboards to read the latest news.

  So before you go about criticizing Chris Christie's weight, especially if he, the moderate Christie, decides to run for president, you might remember that your Heckle and Jeckel crowing is also directed at all of US, the voters.

  You remember this, don't you?

  We, the fat people of the United States who are always getting lectured by YOU, the anointed.

“ We the FAT People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

  We, the FAT people, vote. 
  The skinny and unfortunately sickly Michael Kinsley of Bloomberg disagrees with me:

Controlling what you eat and how much is not easy, and it’s harder for some people than for others. But it’s not as difficult as curing a chemical addiction. With a determined, disciplined effort, Christie could thin down, and he should -- because the obesity epidemic is real and dangerous. And the president inevitably sets an example. 

Unfortunately, the symbolism of Christie’s weight problem goes way past the issue of obesity itself. It is just a too- perfect symbol of our country at the moment, with appetites out of control and discipline near zilch. And it’s not just symbolism. We don’t yet know much about Chris Christie. He certainly makes all the right noises about fiscal discipline and seems to have done well so far as governor of New Jersey. Perhaps Christie is the one to help us get our national appetites under control. But it would help if he got his own under control first.

  Really?
  Really?
  Have you ever seen a fat man walking down the street accompanied by his exactly-the-same-body-type child? Is it ALL attributed to too many Doritos?
  And what's this about the "symbol of our country at the moment, with appetites out of control and discipline near zilch"? 
  Doesn't that PERFECTLY describe our current stick thin POTUS, who is the biggest spender of all our presidents, so much so that even POLITIFACT acknowledges it?

So by this measurement -- potentially a more important one -- Obama is the undisputed debt king of the last five presidents, rather than the guy who added a piddling amount to the debt, as Pelosi’s chart suggested. Of course, all this goes to show that statistics can be used -- and misused -- to bolster almost any argument.

  We have to admit what we have here in our current POTUS.
  He's a diva.
  A diva with an enormous ego, an unsatiable desire for more money and power and a need to blame everyone but himself for all the troubles in the country.
  So, yeah, I'll take a fat guy who enjoys a good steak, tries to work out occasionally only to collapse exhausted in front of "the game," and who can relate to the trials and tribulations of trying to make it on what you got in life over a skinny, prancing DIVA who has to have an aide carry an umbrella over him when it wains a wittle bit.
  Maybe our DIVA IN CHIEF ought to take a lesson from his mentor, Jimmy Carter, and carry his own umbrella.

  So, liberal wags, take your (fat) chances.
