NBC: Obama Calls Singer Jessica Simpson Fat
Newsbusters ^ | February 2, 2009 - 02:45 | Warner Todd Huston

Apparently, President Barack Obama thought that Jessica Simpson's weight was something he needed to make fun of during his pre-Super Bowl interview with Matt Lauer on NBC Sunday. Seriously. Obama called Jessica Simpson a fatty on national TV.

Lauer displayed for the audience the cover of a recent issue of the tabloid entertainment magazine US Weekly that featured the President's wife and daughters and also had an insert photo pushing a story about singer Simpson.

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

Exposing himself for the phony and fraud that he is.

He’s no more than a spokesman and doesn’t do well without a script or teleprompter.

>She is getting fat.<

Click the link to see how “fat” she is, then go to your local WalMart and look at the svelte clientele. Better yet, look at Bettie Page and Marilyn Monroe. They were solid size 14’s, and they oozed sexiness.

This national obsession with anorexia we’ve gotten due to a bunch of metrosexual men dictating what is and isn’t attractive is a joke. Women are supposed to have curves, not to look like androgynous, half starved boys.

The stimulus is nothing but a drunken binge. There won’t be anything more than a few insignificant changes before the RINOs support it.

She’s gained weight, preference for curvaceousness aside. Very impolitic and rude of a President to note, though.

Mr. President, Tony Romo on the phone. He said something about meeting you in the ally behind the White House.

He was just reading the cover of the magazine they were holding in front of him.

He has been trained to read whatever is placed in front of him be it on a teleprompter, quecard, or magazine cover without regard to content. Can you imagine how hard he would be to control if he ever started to think about the things he reads. A lot of time and effort went into building the empty talking suit but we can't expect it to think too!

As Ken Hutcherson said on the Rush Limbaugh show on January 30, 2009: I haven't seen a president with such low class since LBJ picked his dog up by the ears.

What's even more pathetic is the interview itself.

Matt Lauer really tries to bring home the point how if everyone saw the intelligence briefings that B Hussein saw everyday they would not sleep well.

But for eight years Lauer chastised President Bush and his war on terror; never once giving him credit for keeping America safe.

The double standard is so blatant its stunning.

Jessica Simpson is very sweet in person. I had a suite next to hers in Tampa last year. She seemed very down to earth, overwhelmed (almost embarrassed) by being a cynosure of so much attention. After a few bubblegum wine coolers she played a rusty trombone for me.

NewsBusters totally blew it; Obama was mocking Us for bumping his picture off the front of the magazine for an insert of the hard-news story that Simpson is “losing a weight battle.” And he was smart enough not to even say, “losing,” like Us did.

...of course it’s a little odd for Obama tp pick on Us for being fluffy in the news department when NBC is interviewing the president of the United States about such meaty topics as what it’s like living with his mother law, and doncha love these photos of your kids in Us, and isn’t it great to such a hot rock star.

I think NewsBusters has a mole.

I guess that makes it OK to comment on the humongous posterior of the woman that accompanies him around.

Maybe looking at a radiated American city will sober up some that drank the Obama-ade. I don’t know, maybe not even that would do it.

Liberals show a lot of signs of seriously Not Getting It.

They live in huge conurbations with the world's biggest bullseyes taped to their backs, and they don't want to take either the WoT or WMD issues seriously.

Here Bush has been trying to protect them for seven long years, and now they're going to be "protected" by one of their own.

Like you say, the wakeup might be an incredibly shocking experience -- one that leaves the Republican-voting counties, however, the remaining functional portion of society.

Think about the strategic flaw in Obama's Big Argument-Ender Slapdown. He was going, he said, to nuke maybe a dozen American cities simultaneously.

In the course of which, Stupid, you'd kill or incapacitate the very voters your strategy relies on to roll over and throw their hands up!

Which would leave you eyeball-to-eyeball with the most pitiless retribution in human history. You might want to talk over this "grand strategy" with the Japanese first, there, swami.

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

Maybe it's just Obama's way of saying that things go better with coke.

Including diet plans.
