| Chris Christie is fighting back against a former White House doctor who says he is too fat to run for president even though he was making jokes about his size just one day earlier.[Snip] ´I’m worried about this man dying in office,´ she said in an interview with CNN. Ms Mariano said that should Christie run in 2016, as it has been widely predicted, he should lose weight beforehand. ´I can understand why his doctors and other people have had trouble getting him to lose weight. This is an issue that will haunt him if he decides to run for
|
Comments:
Way to go, Christie! I think he needs to lose some weight too and I don´t doubt he thinks the same way. But it´s his body and his problem. Dr. Mariano should worry about her own family--and patients if she´s practicing.

See how they keep propping the fat man up as the 2016 GOP candidate? I´m telling you, folks, this guy WILL be the candidate. Your choice? Probably not, but it´s THEIR choice for sure.

Did the good doctor mention a reason or possibly a cure for Hillary´s ugliness? If Christie is the nominee, then we will be looking at her mug a lot.

Darn! I hate it when that happens!
I think if Christie wants to run for President he has four years to get some of that Blubber off. There are several safe and effective procedures for people like him who just can´t lose the weight. Ask Al Roker. I don´t think Christie should be going on shows and laughing about his weight. It´s not funny! I also don´t think I want him as our candidate. He´s not a Conservative, he´s a Moderate in Republican Clothing.

Governor Christie has a number of good points, not the least of which is that he is able to speak his mind, frankly and directly. That´s a trait distinctly lacking in most Republicans.
Is he too liberal for most of us? Of course he is -- just like Scott Brown was too liberal. Yet both these men are about as conservative as it is possible to be and still manage to get elected in such leftist preserves as Massachusetts and New Jersey.
I disagree with the Governor on a number of points, but there is much about him that I respect and admire. Even so, due to his New Jersey point of view about gun control, I do not plan on voting for him, ever.

The man loves to eat. He´d be a great candidate for either lapband or gastric bypass surgery. I´ve seen pics of him in his early years and he looked great. He has stop the ´´I´ll show YOU´´ mentality. The doctor is right.
As for his political aspirations. He´s a good Governor for NJ.

Sorry Gov but if you run for the big chair, it then becomes the business of this country´s citizens to decide if your weight could cause you to literally blow a gasket when you throw one of your tantrums in the Oval office. One thing I admired about Bush was that he was a fitness fanatic and kept to a regular schedule of diet and exercise to deal with the rigors of the office. You Governor, are not in any way, shape or form fit to run, much less hold this office.

I do not like Chris Christie´s political positions, but that said, please leave the man alone about his weight. He will lose it when he gets ready to lose it. As long as he is not in the pocket of Krispy Kreme or Entenmann´s for political favors, his weight is his own business.
And when did conservatives decide to join the liberals in becoming part of the Nanny State?

Why is she going after Christie? Our current surgeon general, who almost never appears in public - perhaps due to her gross weight? - would be a more likely target for her disapproval.

Baring some unforeseen arrival, I suspect the 2016 presidential choice will be akin to: being dowsed with gasoline and set on fire, OR dying in your sleep. Christie will be the latter. And, as such, I will have to vote for him. Goodnight friends.

Analysis of commercially available rice imported into the US has revealed it contains levels of lead far higher than regulations suggest are safe. Some samples exceeded the "provisional total tolerable intake" (PTTI) set by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) by a factor of 120. The report at the American Chemical Society Meeting adds to the already well-known issue of arsenic in rice. The FDA told the BBC it would review the research. Lead is known to be harmful to many organs and the central nervous system.[Snip] Because rice is grown in heavily irrigated conditions, it is more susceptible

One is employed at Labour leader Ed Miliband’s old school and has worked with the youngest and most impressionable pupils there, while the other teaches troubled and vulnerable children.[Snip] Craig Parr, a teacher at Haverstock School in north London--nicknamed ‘Labour’s Eton’--was pictured parading with a sick placard which read: ‘Rejoice. Thatcher is dead.’ The 27-year-old special needs teacher and union activist led chants of ‘Maggie, Maggie, Maggie, dead, dead, dead’ at a death party he organised in Brixton, south London, on Monday night which ended in

The sequester may have many across the country singing the blues, but for President Obama, it was all about Memphis Soul. Even with the threat of furloughs and government cuts sparked by the sequester, Obama took the time to enjoy a star-studded concert at the White House tonight. The White House celebration of Memphis Soul music in the East Room--which included special guest appearances by Queen Latifah and Justin Timberlake--is likely to rile Obama´s Republican foes. Some conservatives have called on Obama to give up golf, especially since popular public tours of the White House have been canceled because of

The most successful politicians write their own obituaries. I have read a number of Baroness Thatcher´s today and wondered whether the writers would be surprised if they were told she would probably agree with most of what was written, even in the Left-of-centre outlets. This is because successful politicians so dominate the debate on the issues they care about--which were many, in Thatcher´s case--that they determine the course of the argument including the response from opponents. They do this by defining themselves in the public imagination by what they are against rather than what they are for, and leaving only

First Lieutenant Kim, 42, said he had been forced to flee North Korea after he murdered a rival officer as the factions within his army unit battled for control. "I killed a three-star company commander, the same rank as me," he said. "He was the head of the faction supporting Kim Jong-un. There were two fights. In the first fight, they surrounded us

White House assistant chef Sam Kass, who cooks weekly for President Obama, said Tuesday that he is facing a furlough brought about by crippling federal budget cuts. The chef, who is also the president’s senior nutrition policy adviser, is one of nearly 500 White House employees who are expected to receive furlough notices because of the so-called sequester. Speaking with food reporters Tuesday, Mr Kass said: ‘We’re being furloughed,’ according to Reuters. A White House spokesman who accompanied Kass to the press briefing declined to comment on the

In Brixton, south London, riot police were deployed as the crowds, which had been drinking since 5pm, started to become more aggressive smashing shop fronts and throwing paint bomb.

Cometh the hour cometh the man. (Or woman). Except it´s not always true, is it? In 1940 we had Winston Churchill. In 1979 we had Margaret Thatcher. But I´m not sure even the most generous apologists for our current Prime Minister would bracket David Cameron in quite the same category. [Snip] One of the key differences between the two lies in their attitude to personal popularity. To the politician it matters greatly, for the primary aim of the politician is to gain and maintain power at regardless of what cost to his principles.

By Sanford’s math and reading of Obama administration stimulus allocation figures, the Wind Turbine Drivetrain Testing Facility received $43 million and “created or saved” an estimated 134 jobs. When divided, the numbers calculate to more than $320,000 per job, Sanford said. Sanford’s comments came during a visit to a Mount Pleasant branch of Lyerly’s Cleaners, where he carried in a load

In the message he issued along with his budget proposal on Wednesday morning, President Barack Obama said he wants to see 4-year-old children in the United States enrolled in public schools. Obama said America needs to start enrolling 4-year-olds to make sure the children are “better prepared for the demands of the global economy” and to help parents save on "child-care costs." After saying the United States needs to “equip our citizens with the skills and training” to fill jobs in manufacturing, energy and infrastructure, Obama said, “And that has to start at the earliest possible age.”

Obama’s ambitious plans to ban assault weapons and limit magazine capacities are off the table, while the NRA suggested it could support the most likely outcome -- expanded background checks -- as recently as 1999. The NRA claims that the president’s efforts have triggered a fundraising surge and boosted its membership from 4 million to nearly 5 million.

Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Kathleen Sebelius conceded Monday that implementing the Affordable Care Act has been more complicated and frustrating than the Obama administration expected, largely due to Republicans who have opposed the law´s state-based exchanges and Medicaid expansion. "The politics has been relentless and that continues," Sebelius said. "There was some hope that once the Supreme Court ruled in July, and then once an election occurred there would be a sense that, ´This is the law of the land, let´s get on board, let´s make this work.´"
