President Obama: wasting away to skin and bones

A few new pictures of President Obama reveal he is shedding weight rapidly. Drudge Reports notes that “Rigorous workouts and high-stress basketball games are said to be behind the dramatic weight loss.” But, what about concern for his country?

“Just 'cause I'm skinny doesn't mean I'm not tough. I don't rattle," said President Obama in Miami last week. "I'm not going to shrink back, because now is the time for us to continue, to push and follow through on those things that we know have to be done but haven't been done for.”

Rasmussen Reports finds that during October, 55-percent of Democrats Strongly Approved of the president’s performance while 64-percent of Republicans Strongly Disapproved. Is the pressure of being America’s Savior finally catching up to President Obama?

Last week President Obama was in Miami raising money (1.5-million) for 2010 democratic congressional candidates. Reuters reports he told the crowd, “Lately I feel like somebody made a big mess and I’ve got my mop and I’m mopping the floor and the folks who made the mess are there (saying) ‘you’re not mopping fast enough. You’re not mopping the right way. It’s a socialist mop.’

An insider was asked if the president was chain-smoking, "No, he's not chain smoking. He's working non-stop for the country... yes, he does occasionally skip meals,” said the insider. With the health care reform bill, condition in Afghanistan, the current U.S. economic state, and dwindling voter support, the president has a lot on his plate.

You be the judge. Is President Obama too skinny?

    Obama's policies are destroying the American economy, and you are worried if he's a little too thin or not.
