Is New Jersey’s Governor Chris Christie too fat to be President of the United States?

Isnt Christie guilty of one of the seven deadly sins? Gluttony...............I note all the people ranting against our first black president. Racism is not dead in America - it has a new name - tea party.............Now Obama is their triple nightmare come true - a black president, re-elected - and supports the constitutional requirement for equal right under the law for our gay citizens. BTW the socialist (and often commie things) are just a repeat of the McCarthy era - Old Joe McCarthy is seen by most pscychologists as a sociopath who hated almost everyone except himself. Which in particular he hated Jews. His associate Roy Cohn also hated himself - he was gay in a time when it was horrible to be such. Poor man died of Aids in the beginning of the epidemic about 1982. PS my Jewih wife long ago told me that Cohn was shortened from cohen and he was a 2nd cousin of her parents.

I second that, Bippy!!

The Guv. of NJ is full of bombast sometimes but opared to the incredible incompetent fool in the White House, Christie is by far the Better Man. We know that he is a Man, not some gay bathhouse "party boy" that is Obama's true legacy. Give me The Fat Guy.

He is one of the most decent human beings in politics today-everything else is superficial. Oh, I forgot, we do live in a superficial society .....

Fine specimen if a skinny socialist.

fine specimen of a man.

The skinny guy we have now is a disaster!

The NJ Governor Chris Christie made a very good impression with his handling of the Hurricane Sandy crisis and the way he welcomed the President during the Presidential visit aftermath of the storm. If he wishes to run for President fine, he's money can be just as well wasted as the next mans and I'm certain he must know or suspect that President Obama is a certainty for a 3rd term election. As for Mr Christie weight you'd think by now he'd know to cut out the fried chicken, extra-helpings of steak and all bread. As for George Washingtons teeth it's a myth they were made from wood, his teeth were a mixture of human teeth and horses teeth held together with a spring. President Lincoln has a fine honest Irish face and look about him, his health was always poor because the vitamin tablets he took contained mercury which made him irritable, angry and erratic. We know today that mercury is not good for you and a deadly neuro poison.

this guy makes me nervous... so much bombast; coming from who knows what angle; I'd prefer a guy with a more concictent ideological compass...

grotesque - piggish - lowlife oaf.

Christy is a RINO. Hugging Obama was not a good idea. He is not going to get Tea Party approva.. So his chance of a Republican Nominaltion are slim The Democrats don't want RINO's either.

Sure beats a skinny socialist community activist from high crime Chicago!

"...would likely be an effective president..." On what grounds is that assumption made, being a governor? The last one of those the States had was GWB and look what that gave you, two wars, endless debt and thousands of military deaths along with thousands of disabled veterans, all for 2 Trillion $.

if you dont have the pride and self control to stop yourself being obese you dont have the pride and self control to run the afairs of a nation,usa is a sort of democracy like the uk,other countries are despotic dictatorships or theocracies that deserve their fat obese despots.

Christie's weight is not a problem, his dumb arrogance is.
