Hail To The Overweight Chief?
Is this the face of the nation's obesity "epidemic"? Fat chance. But if you believe the federal government's official guidelines, President Bush -- at 5'11" and 191 pounds -- is "overweight." This comes despite the weekend's news that Bush is probably the fittest president in U.S. history.
So how'd he become "fit for duty"? Exercise and a healthy dose of personal responsibility.
In December, coming off the campaign trail, Bush acknowledged he'd gained a little weight. But since then he took the initiative and lost eight pounds, bringing him down to 191. Noting that he exercises six times a week, The Washington Post reports that Bush's routine includes: "mountain biking at up to 18 mph for 15 miles to 20 miles a week; doing low-impact 'hill work' on a treadmill; and free weight resistance training and stretching."
President Bush is just one more reminder that we don't need big-government solutions and new regulations like fat taxes and zoning restrictions to lose a few pounds.

Comments on this journal
But it overlooks almost all the science behind issues of obesity and BMI calculations just to make it seem like inane ravings.
I can't tell if these toosers believe what they right, but people who read it do. and that is a problem.
I understand the value involved in misinforming the public, it brings people to you side of the discussion, but it does them no favors.
Like the immigration debate, enviornmental issues, and the tax codes and the new energy plan it seems that the republicans (not the conservatives, there is a difference) have become masters at using "common sense" to have people vote against their best interests.
this sucks
but now what can be done?
