Top Obama aide battles the bulge

While President Obama has been busy playing golf -- 32 times since becoming president, eight rounds more than George W. Bush played in his entire two terms -- his press secretary, Robert Gibbs, has been biking and kayaking and Tweeting about it to his 55,600 followers. "The truth is, having traveled with [Obama] on the campaign, you're working so much and by the end of the day, you're just so exhausted, I let my health go. I gained weight," Gibbs, 39, told Daily Beast reporter Lloyd Grove.

Not near as stupid as those who elected his master.

Those who elected him did not do so as the result of rational and empirical thought.

It seems that they were, in some way, hypnotized or predisposed to drink his Koolade because of some earlier indoctrination.

And, of course, his African American supporters supported him purely because of his race. One wonders if the strong Christian segment of that group will come to their senses OR will their racial trance hold over time.

It will certainly test their faith!

There may be variable susceptibility based on genetics, but the hard fact is that obesity leads to insulin resistance and Type II diabetes. Patients who lose weight are often able to stop meds (including insulin) and normalize blood sugars. This is definitely a lifestyle-determined disease process. Obesity also increases your likelihood of having hypertension, and of having sleep apnea. The list is long.

You are entitled to your beliefs, but,I do not believed that they were hypontized. Each individual that voted for him did so because they thought that he would give them something for noting[i.e.] use the power of government take it from the rightful owner , and give it to them. The White Liberals voted for him ue to self loathing.

But they sowed into the wind and they will reap the whirlwind. When the weeping begins, the tears will be bitter and plentiful.

The bad part is that the just will suffer also.

Each individual that voted for him did so because they thought that he would give them something for noting...

The problem with that is that it presumes rational or logical thought on the part of the liberal voters and that hasn't been the case.

Liberal voters have been shown over and over again to be almost entirely emotional in their life views (like children).

I know plenty of working liberals who have absolutely nothing to gain from Obama (and much to lose...like their incomes) who, when confronted with the truth about him, just close their ears and minds.

I was in a conversation with some liberals (again, they had nothing to gain from him) who swore that he would save the environment.

When I explained that Obama's Cap and Trade was not a environmental measure so much as a means of increasing government revenues AND that it would simply increase their energy costs, they again closed their minds and ears.

When I explained to this same group that while Obama opposes drilling in the U.S. he was investing U.S. tax dollars in a Soros-owned company (Petrobras, owned in part by Soros) to drill in Brazil, there eyes glazed over and they refuse to understand.

The millions of independent voters who not only voted for Obama but gave him the election know full-well they have nothing personally to gain from his policies...they just haven't yet come to understand how much he is going to take from their pockets.
