  • Sanford was ever front runner?

  • @john1gun He was considered a top-tier possible candidate a few years ago.

  • I agree with you completely; Presidents have to be role models. Obama, Bush and Clinton were all known to be fitness enthusiasts - it demonstrates discipline and self-control. To be overweight implies the opposite. Plus people generally dislike seeing fat people: it's nothing personal, but humans can't help but see their fears embodied in others, and many people fear growing overweight, which is why fat people are often given such a hard time.

  • @Elrich89 Thanks for writing this. Since I posted this video, Chris Christy was elected Governor of NJ and he is HUGE! So maybe I was wrong.

  • @Elrich89 There is a difference in people's standards the higher up the political ladder you go. I can't imagine Barber standing next to Obama on a stage and coming out looking good, but stranger things have happened.

  • @Elrich89 Bubba Clinton a fitness enthusiast! What a joke, didn't he just have triple bypass from all the McDonalds he ate?

  • @tjwalker Oh yes, I forgot about Chris Christie. He seems like a likeable guy, though, and exceptions do happen. How many other very overweight politicians are there in the US? But I still can't imagine Haley Barbour standing next to Obama in a debate and look more Presidential...

  • He could easily lose the wait, but interesting point about Taft and what not. The other problem with Barbour is that he has a southern accent, America has a problem with that. The ticket could maybe be Palin/Barbour, Jindal or Romney can't win Iowa, Who knows what will happen, please respond and please make more videos
