Only the persons wearing large magnifying glasses can say that. Otherwise he is too lean and thin and quite fit.

I think that being president puts a lot of mental stress on someone which can of course increase the risk of a heart attack. Combine that with the packed itinerary of a president, or even a presidential candidate for that matter. Lots of flying around, lots of going here and there, etc. It exhausts the most fit candidates.

I think that doctor was trying to help keep Christie safe. Besides, with the right kind of work there's no reason he couldn't be at a much smaller size by the time of the campaign if he wanted to. It does take time but he has a couple of years before the campaigning would really start anyway. There are ways he could deal with the problem if this was something that was important to him.

Based on his reaction and response, it doesn't sound like he wants to lose any weight.

President should be he, who carries some weight.

I would only vote for him if he was running against Adolf Hitler himself. And even then only if he had a gastric bypass surgery.

Who said a fat man couldn't be president?

You shall make yourself the Festival of Sukkoth for seven days, when you gather in [the produce] from your threshing floor and your vat.And you shall rejoice in your Festival-you, and your son, and your daughter, and your manservant, and your maidservant, and the Levite, and the stranger, and the orphan, and the widow, who are within your cities
Duet 16:13-14

I don't want him to run for president so I guess that works out just fine.

Mordantly obese and ignorant; not the best combo; but I'm sure he likes his combo meals.

Yes I am sure he likes his Big Mac, Fries and Cokes but all Fast Food jokes aside, he'd make a horrible president.

I think that cat in the image would make a better president than Christie.  ;D

I'm surprised his cholesterol number is normal.

My blood work always tested normal/healthy even when I was heavier because I was active and got a lot of exercise at work. He may be active enough to keep healthy so far. If he was a stereotypical fat man gasping for breath at every exertion then he wouldn't have been able to do as much walking, etc. as he has. As he ages though that extra weight is going to catch up to him and his blood work isn't going to keep coming out normal if he doesn't do something about it soon.

So he's fat, hypersensitive and defensive.  That doctor had EVERY right to say what she did. His children COULD lose him secondary to a massive heart attack.  How selfish and arrogant of this man to be in childish rage (he called her on the telephone in order to scream at her) because he just can't deal with the facts.

Truth be told fatness and health problems, especially if we are talking about statistical risks and not about known existing conditions, they are not high on my considerations when it comes to voting for a candidate.

Dhimm Dhimmi CHOOSES to be fat and then plays down if not fraudulently deny the potential health risks he carries with his immense weight. But really that's the least of his faults. He is a fat bastard who deserve to choke on his own vomit.

Where was the phrase "fat bastard" populized?  Was in that Austin Powers film?  He really is a bastard, the way he gave it to Romney.

It might be, there is a "fat bastard" character in one of those movies. But the name isn't very original, there have never been a shortage of fats nor of bastards, and the intersection of both is also quite large.

I'm really just kidding about the fat jokes. I'm sure for some people it is harder to be thin because of their genetics. Maybe some people have to eat more to get the same sense of pleasure from their brain's reward system than the rest of us. And perhaps some people's bodies are geared to store more of what they eat as fat, and so in order to be just as productive at a normal job as the rest of us, they have to be fat since they can't constantly exercise and go hungry. I think maybe especially in the black community there may be more of such genetic factors.

I think America has had several FAT presidents. Like president Taft, Teddy Roosevelt, McKinley etc..etc..

However, they were elected in a different time. Now, US presidents are on TV almost every day and their picture is taken every day as well so it is more visual. It was not until the very first televised event (Nixon vs Kennedy) where people got the first glimpse of a debate on TV. Kennedy, younger and better looking than a heavily sweating Nixon won).
The fat presidents were elected before the media followed the present day presidents.

Chris Christie knows he is fat and does not deny it nor does he make apologies for it. But generally, there is a lot of discrimination against overweight people in America. Though he was elected governor, morbidly obese people suffer more unemployment, lower wages etc. And people mock them all the time. "Stuff your face, fatty, etc..etc..

On one hand, those who discriminate against fat people would take Christie's weight against him. Like saying, he doesn't care about his physical appearance, can't control his weight- how can he run the country? Then there is the question of how healthy he will be? Dick Chaney had a lot of problems with his heart- to the point that people were asking, if anything happens to him and the president- what would happen? Then there are the stereotypes. A thin person can job up the stairs and feel fine, a morbidly fat person has more girth and may end up sweating up the stairs. There is the "fat people are more lethargic" stereotype and people don't want to think of their president as a "lethargic over eater". I am not saying Christie is one but I am talking about the stereotypes.

Also, there is the question of "world appearance". How many world rulers are morbidly obese? Other than a bunch of fat arab monarchs, I can't think of too many fat world leaders. Putin is thin, David Cameron is thin, Julia Gillard is thin, Netanyahu, Hollander etc.. not fat. German Chancellor Merkel is a rounded lady but not morbidly obese. But the list goes on.

But we will send a morbidly obese peer to these world leaders? What image does that give America? The world laughs at us because they know we are the FATTEST nation. And when we send out fat president to G8 Summits and on world leader banquets, we will be a mockery. The fat president to the fat Americans.

I am not saying that a morbidly obese person cannot be president- but if Christie is stubborn to say that he is healthy and there is nothing wrong with his weight...then that is something to consider because that is just pride and arrogance.

He should take off some weight for his heart, slowly loose a few pounds.
