This is how desperate they are: Obama too in shape to be president.

1. Yeah, we don't need anyone to inspire us...just give

us ol' ugly batshit insane mccain and we'll sink lower into the abyss.

[NYC_SKP]

2. Fuck, it's probably true.

I hate America, most of it.

"He's too new ... and he needs to put some meat on his bones," says Diana Koenig, 42, a housewife in Corpus Christi, Texas, who says she voted for Sen. Hillary Clinton in the Democratic primary.

"I won't vote for any beanpole guy," another Clinton supporter wrote last week on a Yahoo politics message board.

The last overweight president to be elected was 335-pound William Howard Taft in 1908. As for tall and lanky presidents, "you might have to go back to Abraham Lincoln" in 1860, says presidential historian Stephen Hess. "Most presidents were sort of in the middle."

Fuck Fuck Fuck.

7. Naaah! Obama is positively HOT! He is sexy as hell.

Who wouldn't want that bod and that voice whispering sweet nothings in your ear?

[Tunkamerica]

15. me

great for president, but come on is that really your reason for voting for him? And what if us guys started talking about Hilary's bod? Positive or negative.

[TwilightGardener]

3. Yeah, ignore the guy who's 72 with recurrent cancer and memory problems--

it's the young athletic man with low body fat who causes concern. Unbelievable.

[TygrBright]

4. I LOVE the smell of GOPpie desperation... any time of day! n/t

[tblue]

5. What? His BMI is too low? That's what you get with the Murdoch Street Journal.

Well, it's great for lining cat litter boxes anyway.

[givemebackmycountry]

6. Well, that about seals it for tonight...

THIS...
has been an especially crazy night on DU.
I have read more crazy shit here tonight,than well...
THIS takes the freakin' cake.

HE'S TOO SKINNY.

We are freaking doomed.

AMERICA
EXTRA
STUPID!!

And proud of it.

gggggrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

:grr:

[truthN08]

8. OMG

People will just come up with any stupid excuse not to vote for him when they are ignorant. I mean basing his ability to be president on the fact that he IS in shape and finding that a negative?.I have seen it all know.

[Bicoastal]

9. Translation? I won't vote one of THEM into the White House...

...but I'd never admit it in public, so I'll make up another excuse.

Also, in addition to being too healthy, Obama is too popular, too smart, and too athletic. We're really looking for a president who only scrapes the upper boundary of mediocrity.

[FrenchieCat]

10. He also looks too good in his clothes,

and speaks to inspirationally. Can't have that for a nation of whiners. :(

[silverweb]

11. Whaaaaaaaaaa???

That has got to be the dumbest fucking thing I've ever read.

:crazy:

[jobycom]

Proof that the world needs fewer writers and more burger-flippers.

[madmax]

12. It just keeps getting dumber.

One of you great writers out there should post a help wanted for President. Something like.

Help Wanted - President of the U.S.A.

Must not be physically fit. Overweight smoker, ok. Previous bouts of carcinoma a plus. Must not be highly motivated or too knowelegeable. etc. etc.. you get my drift.

[Number23]

13. Is there a journalistic version of the Razzies??

'Cause the writers of this crap would definitely be taking one home.

During a July family appearance on "Access Hollywood," Sen. Obama's 7-year-old daughter, Sasha, revealed that her dad doesn't like ice cream or sweets. "Everybody should like ice cream," she said.

LORD, have mercy.... :puke:

[flamingdem]

14. Americans identify more with the 44 Lb. Cat

that by the way went homeless because its owner lost her house through foreclosure!

[NYC_SKP]

16. However will Cable News spin this?

Without insulting Americans?

(Directly,that is. They insult us daily.)

Blitzer:

"Is America too flabby for Obama?"

"Is Barack too healthy to govern?"

"Is he just too good for us?"

Wait until tomorrow, they're working on it tonight.

[gblady]

17. unbelievable!

what garbage...
so sad to think our great country has devolved to this...

[my2sense]

18. What utter nonsense!

They are quite desperate.

:silly:

[Phredicles]

19. In '92, wasn't Clinton supposedly too chunky and too fond of McDonalds?

As other people on this thread have pointed out, some people are just looking for an excuse.

[Triana]

20. They should change their name to the ASSININE Street Journal. n/t

[Celeborn Skywalker]

21. Jesus Christ.

This is so unbelievable. I thought I was reading an Onion article. Sheesh.

[blondeatlast]

22. " I hate those fitness types; I can't vote for Obama." Translation:

"I'm racist, but thanks to Ralph Murdoch, I can say I just don't like those athletic types..."
