It's morning in Obama's America

[Razgovory]

He starts doing well in June because that's when he wins the nomination.  After that the Democratcs can actually start running for the Presidency.  Though I think their long primary actually helped them because it sort-of sucked the oxygen out of political stories once McCain had already won and was campaigning.  In much the same way that right now it's tough for Labour to get in on a story when there's coalition infighting (though Labour's problems are deeper than that).

It would help a lot if his graphs were labeled well enough to know what time frame we are actually looking at.  Also the Dow Jones isn't that good an indicator of the economy.  Truth be told the economy was never that strong under Bush.

So where are the examples of people as big as Christie?

I don't know what Nadler or Frank's actual weight are, or what Christie's weight is.  I do know they were pretty heavy.

Oh okay so the I can't make visual comparisons game. How about a simpler question then. Which of our president's has had a body type similar to Christie's?

Correct. The stock market is a good indicator of perceived economic strength/weakness. Traders are quite emotional. Like voters.

OK I actually had no idea who this Christie dude is so I looked it



GAH IT'S EARTHWORM JIM

[Razgovory]

The Dow Jones isn't even the best indicator of the Stock Market.

Taft.  Of course that is a rather small pool.

All of which is my point.

And he got stuck in it

I think Christie was actually observed losing weight when there was speculation he might run. I think if he got down to James Gandolfini size he'd project gravitas and his weight wouldn't be a hindrance.

You mean when he was hospitalized?

No, I mean awhile back I read a news article saying he had slimmed down and people speculated it may have been to run for President.

Slimmed down is a relative term when talking about Chris Christie, though.

Oh alright. Because last year near before announcing he wasn't going to run, the articles I saw were about the unhealthiness of his weight, especially for a relatively young father who had key moments in his children's lives to still see (or miss out on as the articles were suggesting).
