Obama to Obese White House Staffer:Hey Fatty, I Love You, Eat This Salad.

In a new book by MSNBC analyst Richard Wolffe, there's the story of Obama reportedly happening upon a large, fat white house staffer (link to full story at bottom). His Majesty -- ever so caring about his fellow man -- then went out of his way to fetch a salad for the staffer and told him to eat it. "I can take care of my own health," said the portly staffer. But Obama was having none of that, telling the staffer: "I love you, man, and I want you to look after yourself. Eat the salad."

First of all, what is with the absolute preoccupation of this man and his wife with our diets? Do they not have bigger fish to fry (or salads to mix, as the case may be) given the current rotten state of the world and the American economy? And in a job (such as staffer) in which weight has nothing to do with job description or performance, it is so utterly rude and inappropriate for an employer like Obama to raise an employee's weight and single out the employee over his weight.

So what gives? The linked New York Post blog probably has the best explanation for the overbearing, diet-Nazi behavior of the Royal Couple:

"That is the Obama presidency in a plastic see-through clamshell. (Hold the ranch dressing!) The president loves us. He knows what’s best for us. We should bow to his superior wisdom."

That pretty much nails it. Classic liberalism. And completely out of touch with about 80% of the American people.
