2. Obama is right smack in the middle of the ideal healthy weight graph
It's just that most Americans are significantly overweight.

7. "...next time someone quotes the Daily Mail as a source."
Myself and other regulars in the UK forum keep pointing out that the Daily Mail is an unreliable right-wing and bigoted website. As 'LeftishBrit' on here once stated, it represents all the nasty aspects of British society.
