Jessica Simpson looks fine to me. Why does a woman have to be anorexic to be attractive? And Michelle certainly isn't petite.

I never heard of a president comment on celebrities like this -- what's wrong with this guy?

Poor deformed young thing...the first lady should have such toned thighs.

"And Michelle certainly isn't petite."

You are right, partner...
It's for sure that Michelle did not leave a lot of food to go spoil in the feeding trough.

Wow. I wonder if our Dear cOmrade knows how many millions of women are also "in a weight battle apparently." What a sexist remark to make. I'll be offended on behalf of all women.

AC

what an ass

Would Chairman 0 say the same about Oprah Winfrey?

Way to stay classy, President Obama.

"Henry at February 2, 2009 11:47 AM"

I don't think Obama speaks "Hutese".

"Goo-sho ya blangno, Han So-lo. Hu hu hu."

Dear Jessica,

If you are upset by that stupid comment, you are more than welcome to come to my place and you can wear whatever you want and I PROMISE NEVER to refer to you as fat, heavy, chuuby, or anything like that.

Just PLEASE don't be bothered by me licking my eyebrows as I watch you.

If this is what the one sees when he looks at Jessica, I can only imagine how he sees the rest of the world. God save US!

@gomergirl

Well done! :D

Of course, did anyone actually expect a man elected entirely on his look'n'feel to be able to articulate opinions about someone's character? Mark this: Obama will resort to the sort of facile character assassination loved by his nutroot base. The "reality based" community are entirely obsessed with form over substance.

Will OBAMASES THE GRAPE please take a flying leap into the nearist volcano

Everybody off the band-wagon!

It says "... Weight Battle ..." right above her picture, which is what he's pointing to when he says it.

Cool story, Thorne.

Maybe if she made a muumuu out of some old gold colored curtains and wore some cut down overshoes like Michelle, she'd look better to Kind Herod. Another thing he probably finds disconcerting, is a woman with her mouth closed.

I like my girls with a little meat on the bone. The sad part of all this is that she's going to be pressured to lose weight by any means necessary. I hate people sometimes.

read the whole story

KHarn, LOL! Good one!

NObama wishes Michelle looked like Jessica.

I think Obama is jealous that Jessica's legs look better than his own..........or Michelle's for that matter.

Excuse me Mr. President. Can you you hear me? You POS. What time are you taking off? Michell has a wide arse and thunder thighs bigger than Skillary. What size shoe does she wear? 18 wide? How is Aunt Esther today?

I think the main reason that Miss Simpson finds herself in the crosshairs so often is that she IS patriotic, and was a Bush supporter. I used to wonder why she was called "stupid" so often, but then I found out the aforementioned facts.

When "Liberals" call you "stupid" you know you're on the right track.

Um doesn't he mean his wife is in a weight battle. You can't miss those BIG OL LEGS!

Lame attempt to foment a scandal. No points. You erode your credibility yet again. Rather than hate on a man's wife, the rest of you pinheads should stick to the man. Your guy set the competence bar so low a cockroach would get a concussion trying to crawl under it. Few took it out on Laura Bush. None did so legitimately.

Stanley, there's no need for us to worry about what the Left thinks about our credibility here anyways, as leftists automatically slam anything right of Jimmy Carter before even thinking it through.

OK, time for a poll.
Who is better lookin' and better built?
A- Jessica Simpson
B- Michelle (I finally love my country) Obama

Toa - Look at the magazine! She's on the cover and it's NOT FLATTERING! Are the editors of US magazine members of the MSM conspiracy too?
Anon & KEYGUY- I'm just saying that getting all frothed up over this one takes energy away from *real* issues. Plus you, Phillymiss, Cliff47, Bailey, KHarn, SnowFlake and Volper, etc. make sport at Mrs BHO expense. Not clever, not cool. Mean-spiritedness like this devalues your comments & criticisms of poor policy choices & misguided Supreme Court nominations. If you can't respect the office of POTUS, at least show some self-respect and lay off FLOTUS.

^^ But .. bu .. The President of the United States, the great uniter, the constitutional scholar, the lightworker, the true American, who is America by virtue of his being, set the example!

We were just following his lead in an attempt to better ourselves.

Oh well. It is nice to know that you tacitly admit the President is such an immature douchetard that you'd expect better behaviour from random anonymous internet commenters than from him - despite the fact we were reacting to his insulting manner, and pointing out the irony in his own statement. You may note that this is only an issue at all because of offhand snarky comments THE PRESIDENT made on television, because he was pissed at being pushed off the cover of a magazine by someone who's done more to earn her celebrity than he has.

As for Jess Simpson "losing a weight battle," I have not ever seen a picture of her with an ounce of flab showing (and I am a fan), in fact she looks a picture of health, even when snapped by paparazzi without makeup on (unlike many, many, many other female celebrities.) Obama is a petty, jealous twat AND this is the third time in as many weeks that he's publicly made ad hom snipes at popular conservative figures.

The guy is a simpering little brat who needs his ass kicked by a real man.

Fatboy at February 2, 2009 9:12 PM

Yeah! Like global warming/cooling/climate-change caused by globe-trotting fat liberals? And marxist indoctrination of school children by the radical homosexual lobby? And Hitlertarian attacks on free speech by liberals? And forced dietary restrictions through taxation without representation by silly democrats? And mandatory slobbering over murdering muslim terrorists while damning all Christianity as "hate"?

Are THOSE the issues you refer to Fatty Brain?

We're just curious.

It's just fine-a-okay for silly liberals to morph Bush into a monkey, blame Jews for everything, purposefully keep blacks in sociopolitical slavery, rewrite history, demonize a Governor and make personal, hateful attacks on her family - but we're supposed to fall on our knees and worship your little black false-god because YOU say so?

F*ck you. Come and make me, dipshit.

Your guy set the competence bar so low a cockroach would get a concussion trying to crawl under it.

The stock market, unfortunately, does not agree with you, as by its measure Obama has yet to crawl under [sic] the "competence bar" (mangling a metaphor vis a vis others' competence hardly adds to credibility, just so you know.)

And no matter your opinion on Bush's competence, or our opinions, and no matter who is right or wrong, Bush was a dignified gentleman who did not snipe at ideological opponents in public - he did not even defend himself when attacked.

Obama has shown a charming tendency to publicly make catty, bitchy little remarks about people he doesn't agree with, when they have no means of defending themselves - in this case he did so about Jessica Simpson, with zero justification besides his admission that it "hurt" that she pushed him off the magazine cover - HE started this, no-one else, and if he's going to be making bitchy remarks about females' figures in public then he can expect to have his taste in females remarked upon in return.

Few took it out on Laura Bush. None did so legitimately.

Plenty took plenty out on Laura Bush; and surely you're not going to claim that the Bush daughters received fair and kind treatment in your side's political discourse?

And yet you still fail to grasp the point - George Bush did not go around in public making catty remarks about the appearance of popular women; if he had then you may be quite sure that Laura Bush's appearance would have been remarked upon. Do unto others, you reap what you sow, &c. If your guy chooses to show his alleged competence by demeaning the office of President, expect him and his to be demeaned in return, in like manner.

Jeez,the POTUS has a hot on Paris Hilton...

IMO, it's his way of subtly suggesting it.

It's just fine-a-okay for silly liberals to morph Bush into a monkey, blame Jews for everything, purposefully keep blacks in sociopolitical slavery, rewrite history, demonize a Governor and make personal, hateful attacks on her family - but we're supposed to fall on our knees and worship your little black false-god because YOU say so?

F*ck you. Come and make me, dipshit.

Note that when Palin mentioned the fact that Obama "palled around" with Bill Ayers, the domestic terrorist who admitted he was "guilty as sin," and who admitted that he did, indeed, pal around with Obama, Obama got all pissy and told his supporters to "get in [people's] faces," and the netroots and media promptly accused her of racism..

Obama seems to have no problem dishing out the shots - especially ad hom ones when the person on the receiving end has no chance of defending themselves in the same arena - he can't take them, though.

Lauer: But I wanna show you the cover. Look what they did. They -- they took you off the cover.

Obama: Yeah.

Lauer: They took you out of it.

Obama: It -- it’s -- it’s a little hurtful.

Lauer: You got replaced by Jessica Simpson.

Obama: Yeah, who’s in a weight battle apparently. (LAUGHTER)

What a snivelling, spotlight-craving, petty little c*nt.

Come on people, when you weight 103 lbs, soaking wet, like Obama does, most of society is "fat". Give the messiah a break...

Actually, the guy's a worthless dick, and there's something seriously homosexual about two uber liberals like Lauer and Obama sitting there calling a good looking female fat, and giggling like retarded school girls. It reminds me of the ugly girls in school who picked on the girls who got attention from the boys. This is the end result of feminism. Lauer and Obama should have their genitals revoked.

Yes, word on the street is Lauer's MANgina is popular with the boys over at MSNBC, and Obama is probably just catering to the stupidity of his fan base. Power is Obama's favorite dish, and the lamestream media is cookin' with gas.

I'm kinda confused because Obama was clearing making reference to the headline on the cover of the magazine which clearly said something about Jessica Simpson dealing with a weight issue.

You're confused as to why the President shouldn't act like a passive-aggressive, snarky little bitch on national television, to "get back" at someone who he admits "hurt" him by pushing him off the front cover of a tabloid?

Are you one of those people in the Zogby poll who didn't know Obama thought there were 57 states?

There may have been some snideness to the remark, but personally I see no reason to get all upset on Jessica Simpson's behalf.

It sounds to me like you're all being lead around by your short sword.

Posted by: Thorne at February 3, 2009 1:36 AM

I'm curious, is it Obama or Lauer who's got control of your "short sword"?

The headline on the paper said "Jessica Simpson in weight Battle", Obama noticed this and made a comment, with a smile. If this is enough for you to scream "crucify him", then maybe Obama derangement syndrome has come to the right, after all.

May I be the first one to volunteer to have Jessica Simpson come over to my place and kick me around a little (or a lot, whatever works) with those gams. Beat me, kick me, show me that you care.

That photo is old. Latest photos show she packed on at least 30 pounds and does qualify as fat. Then again alot of us are fat! What else is new.

But even fat, Id rather be around her than a Moonbat or hiddeous trolls like Nancy Pelousy, Barney Fag - I mean, Frank, Shillary Clinton or Michelle Osama.

Obama's mama is a trashy cracker ho who couldn't get a white man to do her in Angola State with a wheelbarrow loaded with pardons!

Looks better then she did. Nowhere near fat.

It sounds to me like you're all being lead around by your short sword.

Yeah, I'm totally hoping I get laid by Jessica Simpson for defending her from personal attacks by the POTUS on a site called Moonbattery.com

You caught me.

Idiot.

My only beef with Jessica is why the attraction to Tony Romo? The guy's a LOSER.

What has happened to this place? All the ranting and raging, and not one person says,
Yeah, I'd hit it.
Well, yeah, I'd hit it!

Yeah. Now we got it. Shooter, give us some more "President's mamma" jokes. I too always suspected Matt Lauer looked like GI Joe "down there".
Mandible- you have a valid point about treatment of the Bush twins. But using humor that was *intended* to be self-deprecating [editors cropped out the President in favor of a feature on JSimp's weight] was part of BHO's attempt to connect with "the people." That was the point of the whole interview. You like your President imperial, nonresponsive, insulated, aloof. I like mine engaged and visible.

Actually, Fat Stanley, we just like our president to have a bit of class.

I suppose BO's "people" that he's connecting to thought it was a cutesy little burn... because they're just as petty as he is. We're not so easy to impress. Or fool.

You like your President imperial, nonresponsive, insulated, aloof. I like mine engaged and visible.

Well, as long as we're playing the straw-man game, can I now put some words in your mouth?

You like your President to be a narcissistic, self-righteous, elitist snob (like yourself). We like ours (when engaged and visible, like in an interview) to have a sense of decorum and not insult people for the purpose of "connecting" with jackasses just to pander for support.

You're confused as to why the President shouldn't act like a passive-aggressive, snarky little bitch on national television, to "get back" at someone who he admits "hurt" him by pushing him off the front cover of a tabloid?

No, you anus, he's wondering - as am I - why the need to gin up a controversy when it's clear none exists. It really does make us all look stupid, and mirrors what the Leftards did with W for eight years (which is why, toward the end, some things that probably should have stuck did not). Relax...the mistakes will come; no need to force it.

Mkay, I was a little pissed but then noticed that it does indeed say something about her weight right above the picture. I don't fault him for pointing that out, it was a casual thing, so, whatever.
I do find it totally shameless that Lauer was practically blowing Obama in that interview. What a loser. I half expected Laur to break out a beach ball and ask Obama if he wanted some suntan oil.
By the way, I would never kick Jessica Simpson out of bed.

Get it right. Here's the REAL STORY WITH VIDEO PROOF!

http://features.csmonitor.com/politics/2009/02/02/even-obama-rips-on-jessica-simpson-nope/

I think oblabla was pissed about getting knocked off the cover. With his elitist attitude I'm sure he thought he would be the center of attention in EVERY publication. I don't think it was a slap on Simpson so much as a "what the hell is she doing on there instead of me" toward the editor.

Mandible; No need to get a "real Man", a sissy would do.
Why is it this dork has issues with the private sector? The REAL president got flayed and never even gave the detractors a nod. I too like my president with moxie.
lauer still around? who knew? I have one of those "jobs" that prevent (spare) me from exposure to that.

No, you anus, he's wondering - as am I - why the need to gin up a controversy when it's clear none exists.

If it's uncontroversial to you that the person running your country acts like a catty grade-schooler on national television, instead of a head of state, then I guess that's your call.

Bear in mind this is the third time in as many weeks he's made snippy little remarks about conservative figures who are not around to defend themselves (although Rush will eat him alive on his own platform.)

It really does make us all look stupid,

I don't see that commenting on stupidity introduced into public discourse by the President makes us look stupid.

...and mirrors what the Leftards did with W for eight years (which is why, toward the end, some things that probably should have stuck did not). Relax...the mistakes will come; no need to force it.

No, it does not mirror that at all. The left invented a persona for Bush that was part chimp, part petulant emperor-king, part hillbilly and part Hitler, and it sure as hell wasn't based on anything he ever did. They invented a persona for Obama that is cool, calm, collected intellectual, worker of wonders, uniter of the divided, bringer of post-racial harmony, when it's quite clear to the rest of us that he's a douchebag, and he continues to prove it. I reserve the right to take umbrage at behaviour by the President that I wouldn't tolerate from a co-worker in the office. The reason is that I don't like douchebags - if you're okay with having one running your country then more power to you.

Contrast George Bush's responses - on the few occasions he responded to detractors - to people like Helen Thomas who were actually accusing him of war crimes and leading America to war on the basis of lies in order to get oil - he remained completely courteous despite being accused of crimes on a Hitlerian scale, simply due to his party affiliation.

Obama snipes about someone's weight after they push him off the cover of a tabloid.

That's where America was at, and where America is at now, in terms of the mettle of its chief executive. Tell me why noting this is "ginning up controversy" or "looking stupid."

Wow this is such a stupid thing to froth at the mouth over. First of all, Jessica Simpson has gained weight. Its all over the tabloids. Secondly, this has nothing to do with patriotism. I less inclined to feel obama isnt patriotic than I am in the case of former prez Bush, considering that Bush was THE WORST PRESIDENT OF ALL TIME... History will not redeem him. Thirdly, this was in response to Obama being photoshopped out of a "family" portrait in people(or some other such crappy publication)magazine to make room for a story about Ms. Simpson's weight gain. You conservatives love to take sound bytes and spin, spin, spin 'em past the point of any credible allegation, along with removing all other relevant statements the speaker made(just in case somebody wanted to hear their words "in context"). I mean, god forbid anyone actually be told some seemingly devisive comment in context. Unless the speaker is a republican, in which case their words (if negative, racist, offensive, etc.) were taken completely out of context.

im sure whatever obama said was taken completely out of context by people like all of you who were against him anyway....who the hell cares.

You people are IDIOTS. Obama wasn't making fun of anyone... he was READING verbatim the headline of the Us Weekly cover. You know READING... something I know some of you right-wing rednecks don't know how to do.

Here's the link to the cover:
http://www.usmagazine.com/news/michelle-obama-to-use-pottery-barn-in-white-house

He was reading the headlines of a magazine.

You are what's wrong with america.

Idiots.
Leave both of them alone.
