Lap Band Surgery is the last resort of people who have no self control.

We don’t need a president who needs to have surgery to give him the self control to overcome gluttony.

If he had accomplished this feat by the exercise of self denial and a dedication to self improvement, I might have some respect for the accomplishment of losing 100 pounds. I would never support him for president, but I might give him a thumbs up for his efforts.

If Christie gets the nomination, we need to look carefully at his VP pick because be will not last a year in the job as president before he strokes out or has a heart attack. He is not a healthy looking man.

I could care less what he weighs. I care for his politics and those STINK!

I know a rather corpulent fella about the same weight. Always used one of those electric scooters to run folks down when he still worked. He did the surgery and initially lost a modest amount of weight....which he quickly put back on. Yes, he gained it back even with the surgery. I give Christie a bit more credit than you. Still hate his politics.

There’s a lot of evidence that it isn’t a matter of self-control, that being morbidly obese like that is a metabolic disease.

That being said, whether he remained fat, loses weight with a lapband, or loses it by hard work and self-denial, I still won’t vote for the anti-gun, Obama-hugging RINO. Yeah, I could see him in charge of President Cruz’ Department of Labor, or the OMB, but that’s it.
