Did Obama just call Jessica Simpson fat?????

[woolldog]

Someone just told me he did that on national TV but I don't believe that. Can anyone here confirm?

[Cash_thatswhatiwant]

1. They showed him a pic of his family on Us Weekly, with everyone except him.

and Obama said my face has been replaced by Jessica Simpson who apparently has a weight problem. Lol.

[pot luck]

2. No.

He was commenting on a magazine cover that Matt Lauer showed him where Obama had been cropped out in favor of Jessica Simpson. He was referencing the caption underneath her picture that said she was locked in a battle over her weight.

I knew it wouldn't be long before the wingers began twisting this into him making fun of her weight. It’s going to be a long four/eight years.

6. Uh oh. Obama doesn't like fat white women! Where are the PUMA's? lol.n/t

[polmaven]

32. Oh good grief!

Get the FREAK over your imagined "PUMA" crap....OK?

[greguganus]

35. Lol.

:hi:

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

33. Yeah! He's a sexist pig!! He hates women!!

:sarcasm:

[ContinentalOp]

3. He was just reading the damn cover.

He pointed at the cover and said "who has a weight battle apparently". Here's the cover.

[woolldog]

4. thanks everyone

I knew I'd get the *real* story here.

[elleng]

5. You can see and hear it

on video of Lauer interview:

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

34. The fact that you would even have to question it is disturbing, knowing how the M$M

likes to twist and turn everything the man says and does. I can't even believe that you had to ask the question.

[woolldog]

46. I didn't get it from the MSM.

Someone told me he said that. I didn't believe it and wanted to know what happened. I thought this was the best place to find that out.

[Pirate Smile]

7. When Lauer asked him how it felt that the magazine cropped him out of the

cover for Jessica Simpson, he made a joking comment that it was "hurtful" and that she "apparently has a weight battle" which was the caption over her part of the cover.

[Pirate Smile]

8. dupe

[WinkyDink]

9. It was humor!

[K Gardner]

10. He was reading the caption under the picture that was shown to him. Outrage belongs to the magazine.

[Pirate Smile]

11. When they replayed the interview on the Today show, Lauer came on at the end and emphasized that

Obama wasn't saying that, he was simply reading the headline of the magazine. He said "Obama wasn't passing judgment. He just read the headline."

[renate]

17. props to Matt

It was nice of him to do that.

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

36. I was shocked that Matt Lauer came out in defense of Obama

seeing as though he licked Dumbya's ass so much...and they played golf together a lot. I was shocked that the media finally got it right.

[Clio the Leo]

12. Jessica should have KNOWN not to wear those jeans...

.... there's a REASON why we haven't worn high waisted jeans for 20 years, I dont care what the trend is. :)

[ensho]

16. she and her jeans look ok to me

being skinny as a pole is a fad.

yes, being overweight is terrible on your health. looking like a beanpole can also be bad for your health. especially for women.

[Clio the Leo]

18. No, the jeans are making her look BIGGER than what she is....

.... even your proverbial bean pole would look heavier.

But you're right, she's built fine.

The camera angle is not helping either.

[ensho]

20. but, I don't think she looks thick or fat and I think the jeans fit fine

I honestly don't see what you see.

[Clio the Leo]

21. They're making her tummy and legs look bigger...

... than they really are. Esp. her tummy. If you are old enough to remember jeans in the 80s, you'll remember they came up to or even higher than the belly button. This elongated and enlarged what, for most people, is not their best body part. Fot the past 20 years or so, the waistline on pants has been lower, elongating the torso and showing off the smaller part of the waist. Lower waisted jeans make you look slimmer .... provided they're not too small and you dont have muffin top.

The photo in question was taken 1/25


Here she is on 12/13...


And 7/18 of last year...


Since it is highly unlikely that she would have gained a significant amount of weight in three weeks, we can chalk up her "weight gain" to the jeans ... and the camera angle.

So the long of the short of it is, if you see any jeans like that in your fav. clothing store ...... RUN FROM THEM!!!! :)

[ensho]

40. I started wearing jeans before they made women's jeans

lived in jeans until moving to the sub tropics.

however,

I now see why I wasn't seeing what you see. I haven't looked at pic, videos of her so didn't know how she usually looks. now I see what you see.

[olkaz]

29. I think this helps illustrate the point.

[ensho]

39. lol - looks like I have to catch up on the women's jeans world

nt

[Zech Marquis The 2nd]

31. the jeans look odd

but Jessica is nice and thick..in a very GOOD way :evilgrin:

[vaberella]

42. Yeah...if their those Mom jeans from the 80s. ^_^

[LibraLiz1973]

22. She's fine weight wise, beautiful even, but those jeans! I agree, god awful

they are NEVER flattering on ANY figure.

[Occam Bandage]

23. She's sexy, but her jeans ain't. nt

[RebelOne]

28. Everyone always looks heavier in photos.

She is probably thinner than the photo depicts her.

[woolldog]

30. Wow, guys

she actually does look fat in this photo. What happened to her? She used to be so hot.

[Zuiderelle]

37. Fat? You say she looks FAT? WTF. Post your damn picture now.

That is NOT fat. :eyes:

Nice OP, this response of yours tells me all I need to know about you.

[woolldog]

43. I don't know what my pic has to do with anything, but here it is.

[Zuiderelle]

44. So, which one of those two fat guys are you?

:eyes:

[woolldog]

45. lol, I'm the guy w/o the gun.

That was during my trip to India a few years ago. The guy in the turban was part of the Indian military guarding that site and my friend thought it would make a cool photo.

You know the building in the background is made entirely of marble? I think this was in the Red Fortress in New Delhi.

You think I'm fat? Cool. I've always been told I'm too skinny. I've tried bulking up, believe me, but haven't been able to with much success.

Cheers.

[Zuiderelle]

47. I think you're just as fat as Jessica Simpson is in the photo which led you to call her fat.

:shrug:

[woolldog]

49. haha, whatever

:rofl:

Don't be such a player hater, Zui. I'm thin and handsome and we both know it. ;-)

[Mass]

13. No. He was reading whatever title was on the magazine.

[Beacool]

14. Jessica Simpson looks fine.

She looks like a healthy, beautiful girl. The media and their obsession with hyper-thin bodies has been a major contributor to the eating disorders of many young girls and women in this country. Name me one woman, or even young girl, who doesn't have issues with her body image and and doesn't worry about her weight. Very few women are happy with the way they look, we always think that there's something that needs improving. Contrast that to most guys, even if they look like Limbaugh they think they're hot to trot.

:mad:

Having said that, Obama was just reading the magazine's heading.

:-)

[SwampG8r]

26. are you saying women ARENT turned on by my voluptuosness?

right
like anyone could believe that!

as to miss simpson i dont see how her weight affects her work seeing as she is a singer
and she looks appropriately healthy
and the pics above are taken between dec 13 and jan somethingorother so it would most likely be holiday bulk she is showing
those pies do end up somewhere for us all
looks like a winter body by june she will likely be in bikini shape
i myself have never been in bikini shape so i just wear my banana hammock and dont care about everyone who looks!

[Beacool]

27. Gator, what are you talking about?

What I'm saying is that society and the media place an undue pressure in girls and women to look a certain way. This has caused many eating disorders. As for being happy with their bodies, no, most women are not 100% happy with the way we look. I have yet to meet the one woman who doesn't think that there's something that she would like to change about her body.

Women are turned on by voluptuous women? I don't get your meaning, unless the women in question are not straight. And for the record, I'm closer to Simpson's pic in those jeans than a lollipop like Calista Flockhart.

;)

[SwampG8r]

41. lol im a dude maam read it again

ill await the ewwwwwwwwwwwwww!

[Beacool]

48. I know that you're a dude.

It was late and I misread what you wrote. I didn't see the "my" part. That's why I wasn't getting it.

Sorry........ :blush:

I'm sure that more than one chick swoons at your "voluptuousness".

[marshall]

15. I think the correct term is "thick"

That's what the college kids tell me.

[quantass]

25. lol...that's true!

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

38. If she's thick then I'm a big, fat elephant. I wear a size 4 or 6, depending on the cut

and I think Jess is about that size. So she's no longer a size 2...so what? This country and society in general has a very warped sense of what a healthy weight is.

To be fair, though, I haven't worn high-waisted jeans since I was 15.

[wyldwolf]

19. no, phat

[AspenRose]

24. Texas girls with curves represent!

:woohoo:
