Here is a couple targets to start out with for Obama's "FAT" police.....Janet Napolitano, Elena Kagan, Sonia Sotomayor and the Surgeon General Regina Benjamin who explained the need for such paternalism by saying “BMI provides a reliable indicator of body fatness for most people and is used to screen for weight categories that may lead to health problems.” RUN LADIES....RUN!!! The "Fat" police are coming.

When Congress required most Americans to obtain health insurance or pay a penalty, Democrats denied that they were creating a new tax. But in court, the Obama administration and its allies now defend the requirement as an exercise of the government’s “power to lay and collect taxes.”

Obesity Rating for Every American Must Be Included in Stimulus-Mandated Electronic Health Records-All you fatass liberals better get ready for sky high premiums. Why should I with a low BFI pay for your heart attack, stoke or diabetes? I do not want to. And wait until your denied treatment because you need a wheel barrel to haul your fatass through WalMart. Elections have consequences........
