Apparently, President Barack Obama thought that Jessica Simpson's weight was something he needed to make fun of during his pre-Super Bowl interview with Matt Lauer on NBC Sunday. Seriously. Obama called Jessica Simpson a fatty on national TV.

Lauer displayed for the audience the cover of a recent issue of the tabloid entertainment magazine US Weekly that featured the President's wife and daughters and also had an insert photo pushing a story about singer Simpson.

As he viewed the cover, Obama decided to smack the singer down for "losing a weight battle."

(1) He obviously doesn’t see himself in a leadership position. He acts more like someone who thinks he just won a four year frat party and doesn’t have to work. It’s bad when this guy makes me even wish for the more presidential Clinton years.

(2) I thought black men liked women with some curves. Wait! That should have been I thought grown ups like women with curves.

I go to a store and there he is.

I was in a checkout line last week and no one was behind me. I reached for the magazines with hussein on the cover and turned the first two or three around. I didn't notice the lady behind me, but she said "Thank you for turning those over. I can't stand his picture everywhere".

[HungarianGypsy]

LOL! I’m working my a— off to try and achieve a size 8.

Like Obama, President Bush was a fitness “nut” yet can you picture him ever making such a mean-spirited remark?

Bush would have immediately said something like..."It makes perfect sense to have all these pretty ladies on the cover instead of this ugly mug!" (meaning himself).

Pres. Biggie O has no class. Period, dot, bingo! (reference to Biden, for those that may have forgotten)

Zero plays the Fat Card.

look at Bettie Page and Marilyn Monroe. They were solid size 14’s, and they oozed sexiness.

I don't know anything about Bettie Page, but I saw one of Marilyn Monroe's dresses she wore in the movie "Some Like it Hot" (1959) on Antiques Roadshow recently. It was a VERY tiny dress... definitely no size 14. It looked to be about a size 4 at the most.

Photo of the black dress that was featured on Antiques Roadshow.

Here's some info about Marilyn's dress size, not sure if it's a reliable source: Wiki Answers.

"I can see Fat Jessica Simpson from the White House porch."

/Tina Fey doing Obama impression...

[School of Rational Thought]

While not a statesman, Obama has been trying very hard to be authentic and keeping it real.

So sometimes the hos and b*tches are not going to get the best treatment.

[chuck_the_tv_out]

yeah that's right, he just tellin it like it is

I’ll bet O never snickered at Oprah about her battle.

Baby Got Back Lyrics

Oh my god, Becky, look at her butt
It is so big
She looks like one of those rap guys girlfriends
Who understands those rap guys
They only talk to her because she looks like a total prostitute, ok?
I mean her butt
It’s just so big
I can’t believe it’s so round
It’s just out there
I mean, it’s gross
Look, she’s just so black

I like big butts and I can not lie
You other brothers can’t deny
That when a girl walks in with an itty bitty waste
And a round thing in your face
You get sprung
Wanna pull up front
Cuz you notice that butt was stuffed
Deep in the jeans she’s wearing
I’m hooked and I can’t stop staring
Oh, baby I wanna get with ya
And take your picture
My homeboys tried to warn me
But with that butt you got
Me so horny
Ooh, rub all of that smooth skin
You say you wanna get in my Benz
Well use me, use me cuz you ain’t that average groupy

I’ve seen them dancin’
The hell with romancin’
She sweat, wet, got it goin’ like a turbo ‘Vette

I’m tired of magazines
saying flat butt’s the only thing
Take the average black man and ask him that
She gotta pack much back, so

Fellas (yeah), fellas (yeah)
Has your girlfriend got the butt (hell yeah)
Well shake it, shake it, shake it, shake it, shake that healthy butt
Baby got back

(LA face with Oakland booty)

I like’em round and big
And when I’m throwin’ a gig
I just can’t help myself
I’m actin like an animal
Now here’s my scandal

I wanna get you home
And ugh, double ugh, ugh
I ain’t talkin’ bout Playboy
Cuz silicone parts were made for toys
I wannem real thick and juicy
So find that juicy double
Mixalot’s in trouble
Beggin’ for a piece of that bubble
So I’m lookin’ at rock videos
Watchin’ these bimbos walkin’ like hoes
You can have them bimbos
I’ll keep my women like Flo Jo
A word to the thick soul sistas
I wanna get with ya
I won’t cus or hit ya
But I gotta be straight when I say I wanna fuck
Til the break of dawn
Baby, I got it goin on
A lot of pimps won’t like this song
Cuz them punks like to hit it and quit it
But I’d rather stay and play
Cuz I’m long and I’m strong
And I’m down to get the friction on

So ladies (yeah), ladies (yeah)
If you wanna role in my Mercedes (yeah)
Then turn around
Stick it out
Even white boys got to shout
Baby got back

(LA face with the Oakland booty)

Yeah baby
When it comes to females
Cosmo and got nothin to do with my selection
36-24-36
Only if she’s 5’3”

So your girlfriend rolls a Honda
Playin’ workout tapes by Fonda
But Fonda ain’t got a motor in the back of her Honda
My anaconda don’t want none unless you’ve got buns hon
You can do side bends or sit-ups, but please don’t lose that butt
Some brothers wanna play that hard role
and tell you that the butt need to go
So they toss it and leave it
And I pull up quick to retrieve it
So Cosmo says you’re fat
Well I ain’t down with that
Cuz your waste is small and your curves are kickin’
And I’m thinkin’ bout stickin’
To the beanpole dames in the magazines
You ain’t it Miss Thang
Give me a sista I can’t resist her
Red beans and rice didn’t miss her
Some knucklehead tried to dis
Cuz his girls were on my list
He had game but he chose to hit ‘em
And pulled up quick to get with ‘em
So ladies if the butt is round
And you wanna triple X throw down
Dial 1-900-mixalot and kick them nasty thoughts
Baby got back

He is a fool that gains popularity with the masses, the ones who don’t care about worldy matters only stuff that is “cool”.

[rose]

The only delight i could get from this is, “I hope she voted for him”.

[jetson]

Who is the NON PRESIDENT to talk when he has a wife who is built like a line backer.

Obama is a petty, classless, lout. This is narcissism driven to new heigths. I mean here you are President of the Untied States of America and being fawned over by sycophant journalist and to make yourself feel more better about yourself you trash a private citizen on their looks. Obama is despicable. He does not deserve the time of day.

If President Bush had done this it would have been a media firestorm today on how mean spirited and out of touch he is with the people.

“If President Bush had done this it would have been a media firestorm”

Yeah - from our “what if Bush had done this” file

She is so heavy that her legs are bowed! Have you seen her walk?

[chuck_the_tv_out]

yeah that’s so true

[Stentor]

He was just reading the cover of the magazine they were holding in front of him.

So they jumped off a bridge and he followed. What a low life skunk he is.
