Barack Obama too thin to be president

Nearly two thirds of the U.S adults are overweight, with a BMI over 25. One third of the adult population is obese, with a BMI over 30.

These people can vote. These people have eyes.


And there he goes, Obama, with his disarming smile and his ascetic body. Who does he think he
is?

And hasn’t he lost even more weight lately?


Why doesn’t he just propagate war in Iraq while he’s at it.


At least Bush looks fat.

This is politics.

He looks a bit like a the anorexic starlets in Hollywood,(big head, small body) I guess it's a trend.

Ape said...

Yeah, definitely. His suit looks hollow in that photo.

He's too thin. Too young.

But we don't want Hilary as the first American female president, do we?

Oh my, Lolly, you're right. It's a trend, that look. It's Hollywood! And we all know that the Hollywood people get the most votes. He's doing a Schwarzenegger!

Anyway, Hillary might have a chance if she turns obese on them. Or marries John F. Kennedy's niece.

What I wanted to do with this post was to play with the thought of how the canditates are supposed to attract voters in terms of how they look. Black man gets black votes, woman gets woman votes. Red-head gets ginger votes? But I realize I only managed to bash fat people.

And that's not the first time that happens.

Ape said...

Ah, you do have a point there. But what he is selling, just like any moviestar is an ideal. No matter how fucked up it might be, it's still an ideal.

He is selling the thin American dream. Not only does he get all the black votes, but he gets all the white votes who dream of that thin body with the large head.

That is so true, Ape.

Sometimes, I forget it is the land of dreams.
