I'd like to discuss the bolded part a bit. I'd say it is entirely a lifestyle issue. You might know better than I would, but are there any people on this planet (Samoans perhaps, I kid?) that are "naturally" fat?
Hillary Looks Like Death Warmed Over

An N of 1 for each gender. You're not much of a scientist are you?
I rest my case.
I think both of them aged just fine. Your opinion may differ, but that's because you're wrong.Not to mention George and Barabara wedding day versus Presidency days:
I rest my case.

I quoted the wrong post. Here's an example of a woman who has aged well in my opinion.

The fact that Keith Richards us alive is a miracle in itself.

While lifestyle certainly contributes significantly to a large number of cases, there are genes associated with a predisposition toward the development of obesity. A recent article came out that looked at the correlation between FTO gene ('fat mass and obesity-associated) and the ANKK1 gene (which affects dopamine responses to reward learning). Other studies have linked FTO with deficits in energy metabolism and adipose tissue homeostasis.
The reason this is a medical issue is not necessarily the causes of obesity, but rather the consequences. Yes, many (dare I say most) cases of obesity are lifestyle-related, but that doesn't mitigate the health complications associated with the issue. It's well known that many types of cancer are highly obesity-associated.
That's why I say that Chris Christie's physique (or any other candidate who is 'obese') is not a matter to be made fun of and I would never do that. Should he become more of a potential nominee I honestly would like him to come out with a complete medical work-up (I believe they do anyway), same as Hillary must do. Some might say it's a matter of privacy, but I believe it's a legitimate issue given her neurologic history that should be resolved sooner than later. The fact she had a neurologic event does not necessarily mean there are any lasting sequelae, but it does put her at a greater risk of future events than someone without a neurologic history.
You tend to look old when you are constantly worried about being found out for all of your lies.
I appreciate it. It's only Jan though. I will have a Clubhouse Grill at Applebees afterwards with you though it you're down.
I'm sorry, are you saying McCain lost because of looks? It was a freaking tidal wave because McCain just wasn't a great candidate on the national stage, and he picked a VP nominee that sane people cringed at.
Just as an FYI Terry Branstad was on the airwaves yesterday drumming up support for his plan to shift money from schools to water projects. He took email questions on IPR's River-To-River and he stumbled repeatedly. Numerous times he repeated himself during the answer to a question. I haven't seen recent pictures of him, but he didn't look so vital when he ran for re-election. The people of Iowa seemed to look past his cardio-pulmonary disease when they voted him back into office.
Are you freaking kidding me? Men are more attractive when they get into their prime earnings years.
Have you see Bill lately? These folks are getting older. Just like you and I. If Ronnie made it...Hillary will too. No worry.
This picture is from a story in today's Washington Post about her ongoing problems with Bill's behavior. But what struck me is how old and worn out she looks. I've also seen some articles that say her health is really bad, that she gets fatigued easily, that she almost collapses after standing for long periods, and that her extra long break at the Democratic debate was due to her physical challenges.
Is she healthy enough to undergo the rigors of being POTUS?
I suppose we'll learn the answer in the months to come. It would seem that if her health is really that bad that it should emerge at some point during a presidential campaign. Still, she does not look healthy to me.
well, I'll give you his was well rested....The last 6 years of his Presidency, there are questions as to how "clear" it was.....
It looks like Bill's nose grew while he was in office. No Sh*t.
What are you suggesting?
