I’m really amazed at the comments posted here. What a way to get worked up over absolutely nothing. The President was simply making an observation based on what was stated on the cover of the magazine and in response to what had been pointed out by Lauer. Teach either has (a) extremely bad cognitive skills as a result of an irrationally intense dislike of the President or (2) has deliberately set out to to mislead people (bad job) as a result of an irrationally intense dislike of the President. In any case, I think the US has bigger problems than the non-issue that has been posted here.

Viktor,

I can understand that you might be upset about this nonsense that Teach posted, but I really think there’s no need for the name-calling and vitriol that you’ve spewed here. It really makes you look just as bad. If you want to portray yourself as more intelligent and/or moral, act like it.

Can anyone tell from the author’s picture if William here is a man or a woman? Maybe we should just call it Pat?

The Democrats won’t have to worry about losing any elections anytime soon if this kind of drivel is representative of what the Evangelist Neocon Republicans have to offer in terms of political discourse.

The justifyable reasons that many people were disparaging president-select Bush is because he was already a War Criminal having committed treason against the United States and directly causing the deaths of thousands of American soldiers (men and women) and hundreds of thousands of civilian deaths in Iraq (men, women, and CHILDREN) – all the while plundering the U.S. Treasury by paying off his cronies in the oil business and DESTROYING THE AMERICAN ECONOMY leaving the bill to our children and grand children and probably great grandchildren.

Oh, and by the way, W (just like Ronald Reagan) also pandered to his corrupt corporate sponsors by leaving our borders wide open to illegal immigrants despite his bs double talk about the “War” on terror. Congrats – what an idol. Sweet dreams, pinhead.

I saw the interview. He did not call her fat and anyone who came to that conclusion needs to do a little work on their cognitive skills. Watch the interview for yourself, there’s probably a clip somewhere. As Gypsy points out, Obama was reading what it said on the magazine cover. He wasn’t making a personal statement.

Native Son,

First of all, get a life. The only questions you could probably answer about President Obama include, race, gender, and occupation. Michelle has never proclaimed to be a fashion model. Her agenda does not include shoes and dresses. It includes being an advocate for military familes and also increasing community involvement by way of community action agencies. So what if another Black person made snide comments about PRESIDENT OBAMA. What’s the significance of that statement? Since you know alot about him, you should also know that it took a very diverse population to put PRESIDENT OBAMA IN OFFICE. Lastly idiot, PRESIDENT OBAMA was simply stating what US Weekly stated. What did you know about Bush before electing him? NOTHING!!!!!

Come on! Listen to the actual interview, and you’ll see he was READING the magazine cover and the laugh was self-deprecating because he didn’t make the cut for the cover. I’m sure he was pleased that the very nice photo of his family did, even if he was cut out, and it’s clear that the chuckle was NOT at Jessica’s weight. He didn’t say Jessica was fat nor make fun of her. This is much ado about nothing. It’s also a deliberate attempt to mislead by whoever did the orginal transcript, dedicated to changing the meaning of what he said.

Michelle hates Obama so much she is trying to make an issue out of nothing.
All Obama did was read the cover of the magazine and say she evidently has a weight problem, he wasn`t making a judgement the magazine was.
If this is all you have to worry about you really are a silly woman.
