Government statistics indicate that two-thirds of the overall voting population is overweight and almost a third is obese.
If this is true, then being thin can be viewed as a way of being elitist. Somewhere the ghost of Wallis Simpson, the Duchess of Windsor, that epitome of elitism, can be heard saying:
One can never be too thin or too rich.
If to be slender is to be elitist in the land of the comfortably upholstered, that might be one more obstacle for B. Hussein Obama. At the very least it is one more way in which voters may not relate to him.
On the other hand, George W. Bush is very fit too. What do you think, gentle readers?
