It's time America had a fat president

Agree. . .was sharing some similar thoughts today re the chaces of someone like NJ' Gov. Chris Christie settling into our White House (allowing that the skinny guy Obama, in fact, is made to vacate). Nothing seems more welcome; than this image - an authentic American leader versus the effete/asthetic, America-hating poser.

Feels like the choice between your most hated vegetable - and apple pie. We sooooo need a return to a 'solid' America.

Ford was pretty bald. Nixon, too, for that matter.

Obama looks like he has had a wax job.
I guess that is what fellow gays go for.

Obama can't be gay. This pic tells us why...

Where was the “Buckwheat” reference? Bias? Nope.

“...roaring fires, malt beer, red meat off the bone...”

"...and my a$$!"

Never mind. How about a curvy President?

[Past Your Eyes]

You gotta love the hat, though. I’m a hat guy. How about a president who is fat, bald and wears a hat. Hey, I could be president!!

(Obama hates his guts... that's the reason he returned his statue to the UK )

Of course he does...

How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries! Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy.

The effects are apparent in many countries. Improvident habits, slovenly systems of agriculture, sluggish methods of commerce, and insecurity of property exist wherever the followers of the Prophet rule or live.

A degraded sensualism deprives this life of its grace and refinement; the next of its dignity and sanctity. The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property, either as a child, a wife, or a concubine, must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men.

Individual Moslems may show splendid qualities, but the influence of the religion paralyses the social development of those who follow it.

No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith. It has already spread throughout Central Africa, raising fearless warriors at every step; and were it not that Christianity is sheltered in the strong arms of science, the science against which it had vainly struggled, the civilization of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilization of ancient Rome.

How could any self respecting muslim not?

Or as a husband (um, assuming I were a lady FReeper, which I am not). :-)

Mao got pretty chunky at the end too, IIRC.

[Past Your Eyes]

That would be okay. But I have my original birth certificate.

Coolidge was wiry and governed lightly.

Christie is pushing it with the weight. He has a shot at the presidency if he loses a few pounds. Seems to be the most qualified person for the job at the moment.

[Palladin]

Wouldn’t you rather be a General in Afghanistan?

I hear there’s an opening coming up tomorrow.

;)

New Jersey’s Chris Christie
****************************************
After MEchelle and her elbowing into our lives— fat will be the new and welcomed chic!

I wouldn’t complain a bit, if this nation could snatch Christie from New Jersey!

Ha! Social justice, share that political wealth!

I've never looked at gay porn...until you posted that pic.

Barry just screams "Fabulous!!"

Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

My main concern with Christie is he is Rudy-Giuliani like. TOUGH, EFFECTIVE and PERFECT for state and city governance but not for the national stage.

I'm not certain what his stance is on gun rights, immigration, abortion and other social issues. I suspect he is right of center on most social issues but his stance on others might just disqualify him the way it did Giuliani ( Rudy in fact split FR so much that his supporters were banned from posting on this site ( as far as I know, it hasn't been lifted ).

Remember, Christie was not the first choice of most Freepers. It was his primary opponent, Steve Loneghan.

Obama is gay. He had homosexual relations with this man...and most likely many others.

Obummer and any type of attraction to a woman is just smoke and mirrors. Obummer's favorite type of foreplay involves bumping and grinding other males on the basketball court. He wasn't as picky in 1999...he tries to be more discreet now that he's so in the public eye. He got away with a lot more in the 80's and 90's.

It certainly fits with his motto...to suck at everything!
