Washington Post ^

TRENTON, N.J. — Gov. Chris Christie wants the leader of New Jersey’s National Guard to shape up.

The governor has given Air Force Brig. Gen. Michael Cunniff 90 days to slim down and meet his obligations.

The action comes after Christie’s staff told The Washington Post (http://wapo.st/1V6jBh9 ) that the governor was unaware the general had been reprimanded by the Pentagon about his weight and for repeatedly dodging physical-fitness tests.

Christie, who once called himself “the healthiest fat guy you’ve ever seen,” secretly underwent weight-loss surgery in 2013. A band was surgically placed around his stomach to restrict how much food he could eat.

it does not appear to have worked.

If Christie wanted to show he is a good sport he would join the general in a 90 day fitness regimen and weight loss program.

Have to say it from looking at that photo, the divider in chief is such a frigging pansy.

It’s like having your fat football coach tell you to hustle or a fat nurse give that dirty look when she asks if you smoke while taking your blood pressure...

Fat farting generals are safe, every strip of pervert is celebrated, two males kissing at West Point....meanwhile decorated SF men are discharged for intervening against a child molester.

Our military is a disgrace.

I very much dislike Christie. But a governor and a soldier do not need the same level of fitness. Furthermore, I can almost guarantee this General has let people in his command be discharged over fitness standards.
