Bill Clinton...

…was speaking out against Childhood obesity.

That's like Marilyn Manson speaking out against childhood deafness due to loud rock music.

That's like John Wayne speaking out against childhood horse riding injuries.

That's like John Belushi coming back from the effin' grave, and speaking out against childhood drug use.

Didn't this chubby bastage just have heart surgery from downing too many Big Mac's?!?!?

Is this another "Do as I say, not as I do" situations? They need a better spokesman.

While I can see your point, I can also see some problems with having someone that doesn't have problems with their weight talking about controlling their weight.

It's like a celibate Priest dispensing advice on marriage and sex.

It's like a man explaining how painful childbirth is.

It's like a woman telling a man how to drive.

Sometimes experience does help. If he is starting to watch his diet, I have no problem with him telling others how overeating has affected his life, and health.

No you are just hating! He is the perfect spokesperson. He is the poster boy of junk food. He knows of what he speaks. He is still a lying SOB!

Yeah, I'd say there isn't a problem if he is talking about how obesity is dangerous and how unhealthy lifestyle decisions affected him or whatnot. Now if he was chowing down on MacDougal's finest as he was making the speech......

Why that would be down right funny!

As long as someone is just recommending and/or giving information -- as opposed to forcing a certain lifestyle on me -- I don't have a problem with it.

maybe Bill just forgot about his bypass surgery already...

To many some skinny genetically lucky person saying 'work out more' even though we know damn well they don't have too wont have the same effect as 'man, i shoulda listened to the doc's my fellow out of shape peoples.'

I take advice from people who follow advice. The "don't be like me" arguement never seems to MOVE me.
