I’ve never been a fan of Christie.
Anyone without the discipline and self-respect to keep their weight under 350 pounds, doesn't deserve to hold public office.

That's a valid point, but here in New Jersey we have a prominent public figure who is something of a human marvel in purely physical terms: an 88 year-old guy who is in great shape and still goes to the gym every day.

His name is Frank Lautenberg and he's our (very) senior U.S. Senator. He's in such great shape that he represents New Jersey in the Senate even though he died at least a decade ago.

You're telling me an @sshole like that DOES deserve to hold public office?

Hey, they told me anybody could be president when I was growing up (and eating all those donuts) ...

True, and plenty of studies to support it. Morbidly obese younger persons, not caused by a medical condition are: angry, multiple emotional problems, self-indulgent, combative, untrustworthy, unhappy. Unfortunately, I used this study quite a while back and made my judgement of Christie.
