How fat does Obama have to be to get your vote?

Not fat enough for you, huh?

The Wall Street Journal reports that 66 percent of America's voters are overweight. That fact might be hurting Obama's presidential chances, as his lean physique is being seen by some as "elite."

A housewife from Corpus Christi told the WSJ that Obama, "needs to put some meat on his bones."

"I won't vote for any beanpole guy," another Clinton supporter wrote last week on a Yahoo politics message board.

How fat does Obama have to get before he gets your vote, and what does that say about you? Take our informal quiz.


Will you vote for this Obama?


Yes, he gets my vote: You live in Manhattan, the West Side to be precise. You loves you some Pinkberry.


Not Yet: You are "dis-employed" from the construction biz, and you just found out that your wife's date to the junior prom was black, and that was back in '81, when that shit was not cool.
   

How about this one?


Oh, what the heck: You just moved in Colorado. The hiking is amazing, and the people are great!


Not Yet: You live in Alabama, as does the rest of your family except for that gay-ass brother of yours, who transferred to Boulder probably so he could suck cocks in peace. And you'd really like us to stop making you think about it, because you might lose your appetite.
   

Jeez! What about this Obama?


Uncle! You got me, Obama!: Congratulations! You just lost twenty pounds with Jenny Craig. You like to tell people that, "that Valerie Bertinelli should have her own show. She's cute as a button."


Not Yet: Your Wii Fit has a program that allows you to train with Cojo in the hot dog eating competition. Yesterday, you won.
   

This one?


Done: Last night, you wanted to eat two red velvet cakes. You stopped at one. You call that a victory.


Not Yet: You live in an undisclosed location. All the jokes in a "Yo Momma So Fat" competition are literally facts about your life. You do have your own zip code. You do have more rolls than a jelly donut. Mmm, jelly donut. That sounds good.

Lincoln was pretty skinny AND did a pretty good job. Taft was a shitty president. This is the ultimate non-issue. It's almost too dumb to make fun of.

I just wish he was a little heavier, not much, but he looks way to skinny; not that there is anything wrong with that. It just makes him look very young.

I don't think we have ever elected a skinny president. Our president's have tended to be filled out. William Howard Taft was as large as his name, about 300 lbs.
