Oprah?? He said something about a walruses, I think.

[Ann Archy]

Just WHY would he HAVE to READ what Matt LAuer put in front of him??????? Obama is a tool.

[ArcadeQuarters]

rofl. Replied to the wrong thread. Ugh.

[vetvetdoug]

Jessica is a white woman....no foul here....Now if he’d called Oprah or Aretha a tub of lard then it would have been sexist and racist.

[GatorGirl]

O-M-G!!!!!

She’s a freaking SIZE EIGHT! How many “average” American women would kill to achieve a size eight?

I can only speculate on what size Michelle wears, I don’t think she would fit into Jess’ clothes, that’s all I’m sayin’

FReegards, GG

This stuff happens when a person is fixated on how perfect and wonderful he is. I blame the media somewhat for this gaffe. Apparently the new POTUS is a gaffe prone as his VP!!! However, this too will be covered up.

Oh, and one other thing. Pres. Barry H. Obama is not really a very nice guy underneath all the hoopla. I think his manners reflect 15 years of listening to the non-Christian rantings of a lunatic preacher.

[tiredoflaundry]

. Obama called Jessica Simpson a fatty on national TV.

I guess no Universal health care for her!

[silverleaf]

“Tabloid” rumors about the contentious Obama marriage did say he puts down Michelle for her weight

Maybe a grain of truth

What a dismal message he must be sending to his daughters

[GatorGirl]

I don’t know they always said “Bushes on verge of divorce”; “Bush drinking again”, etc....

[q_an_a]

How do you think the 30% who are overweight - including Oprah, will view this little snarky comment? He will make himself a one term President.

[RGSpincich]

As he viewed the cover, Obama decided to smack the singer down for "losing a weight battle."

WRONG! He said, "Who's in a weight battle apparently..." while pointing at the headline held up by Lauer. Let's keep it real.

[silverleaf]

except the tabloid did use a lot of quotes from Obama’s own musings from his own “ghost written” memoir, about past problems in his marriage and power struggles with the ambitious Michelle over his political career

She’s in for an interesting 4 years as Harvard Law grad turned into Commander Mom

[autumnraine]

Yeah, if that’s what he did, even giving him the benefit of the doubt, he doesn’t think real fast on his feet.

[Hatteras]

Between thoughts about “rusty trombones” I’m thinking why in the heck does this guy care about getting bumped off a cover of a magazine? He’s been on every magazine cover to hit the stands in the last year and probably most of them at least twice. Is he that starved for the attention?! What an @$$.

Now, where was I? Oh yeah!... rusty trombones... rusty trombones... rusty trombones....

[Oztrich Boy]

0 called her fat? That probably means that she’s actually a healthy, young woman rather than some emaciated waif that (dis)graces a model runway.

Zero is a scrawny little prick with big ears. Daily workouts at the gym my @$$. More likely sneaking out in back of the gym and lighting up.

[Sig Sauer P220]

Michelle Ma Belle is UGLY! She is an extremely ugly woman that does not have any taste or “CLASS”.

Has anyone seen Patrick Ewing lately. Or her and Ewing in the same room?

[SERKIT]

See Michelle-Omarosa? BABY GOT BACK!

[Cheetahcat]

He needs to look at that monstrosity he has for a wife,Oops left out Hateful.

[an amused spectator]

Jessica Simpson needs to go on The Messiah Diet:

Obama's $100 a pound Wagyu steak hors d'oeuvres, washed down with a Gold Flakes Supreme vodka cocktail...

Keeps you trim and alert for the tough job of stealing and spending the peasants' tax dollars!
