Too Much...Too Little...Pass The Buck

Another day and still a dollar short.  Not funny for those of us in need of work.
Well, today the news media stated that Governor Chris Christie is questioning if this person is too fat to his job if he's elected president.  Should he even decide to run.  Well, I have a few things to say about that.  First, what message are we sending to kids who are over weight.  What are saying to and/or about other people who are over weight and working or looking for work??  What message are we saying about ourselves and our own mentality when we speak of others like this??  A person's weight should not have any bearings on their ability to do their job.  And if it is a concern, you don't attack them, you try to assist them, you help them in some way, you be supportive, you talk to them.  You don't criticize them. If we allow this to happen in politics, guarenteed, it's going to spill over to everyone's job, everyone's life and we'll have no one to blame but ourselves because we allowed the media, the talk shows and the politicians who partake is this type of behavior.  Blame the ones who started this attack on not just Governor Chris Christie, but on every over weight american in this country.  Regardless of age, race or sex. Dirt throwing in politics have gone way too far and this just took it to another slimy level.  Funny, there are plenty of politicians who are over weight that are in congress or the legislature.  We don't question if they are "too fat" to do their job.  The media hasn't attacked them and asked them if they are capable of doing their jobs.  The talk show hosts haven't made of or attacked those politicians about their weight and their ability to work for their constituents.  But let this one person consider running for president and he's attacked.  It's a ploy to keep him out of office, I mean after all, if the other politicians are partaking and starting this non-sense, then it stands to reason that Christie is a real threat to them.  They are afraid he'd win and they don't want that because then it makes it harder for the current front runners to remain in the front.  There's too much back stabbing.  This needs to stop. Speak up people.  Don't allow this to happen.
