  • If you still do not get the urgency of this situation from what he's saying, maybe the fact that he's wearing a full suit should be alarming for you.

  • Lots of people see him as a fag amongs other name.... as a men i can respect a man who don't care about what people think about him and tries to help people and kids. Too many people get down on themselves and do nothing ; but he has done alot for people and we need other Richards in are society. Got to admire this man .

  • He's 100% right. Oh, and he looks great!

  • @sledgehammer911 What? I just heard him saying it too. He does look really good for 60. Must be his life style

  • Furthermore, many parents who are also overweight and/or obese, they spoil their children with lots of snacks and sweets. Candy bars, potato chips, over-sized portions of pizza, Chinese, fried chicken, fast food sandwiches, to sweets like doughnuts, ice cream, cake, high-sugared breakfast cereals, etc., etc., etc.  The list goes on and on full of bad food that our children are over-eating. All them foods do tasted good, but they should be treated like treats. Same with Soda pop beverages.

  • If congress was a school class, all members of congress are flunking miserably to that exact thing of keeping P.E., sports, and fitness in schools. Kids are much more overweight compare to when I was in school, having more doctors visits, and are diagnosed with high blood pressure, diabetes, and other heart problems for being overweight.  Richard Simmons said it all, and our schools need more Recess time and at least one fitness class per student from Kindergarten to 12th grade. Great speech!

  • he looks good for 60

  • Government needs to step the F off and stop trying to dictate every aspect of our lives. Our founders wanted our government to have limited power, however every day they are trying more and more to get complete control over us. One day we will have to stand and fight our neighbors and this damn socializing of the United States.

  • @plurp7 This is just like John Denver deflating the PMRC!

  • @kflashman33 are you 12?
