President Obama Weighs In On Jessica Simpson

President Obama Weighs In On Jessica Simpson

Jessica Simpson rocks a Burberry newsboy cap as she lands in Cincinnati, Ohio on her way back to Dallas to see her boyfriend Tony Romo on Monday.

The 28-year-old country singer continues to receive attention for her fuller figure, which was first noted last week as she sang at the Chili Cookoff in Florida.

The Today Show’s Matt Lauer spoke to President Obama in a pre-Super Bowl interview and mentioned that him and his family were removed from the US Weekly’s cover shoot to make room for the hot topic of Jessica Simpson’s weight. Obama coyly responded, “Yeah, it’s a little hurtful!” Then he continued looking at the cover, saying [that Jessica is] “in a weight battle, apparently. Yeah. Oh well.”

Obama is a rude and nasty jerk wiith no class at all. I thought better of him. Bush would have never said such a cruel thing.

President Obama was only reading the HEADLINE!
He was commenting on the fact that it said “Inside Jess’s Weight Battle” .
This is all too stupid.

Anyone who thinks there is something to read into this - give me a break. HE WAS READING a magazine being held up in front of his face.

Your titles have always been somewhat cheesy but this one IS very misleading. Well, I guess it’s no surprise anymore since you are becoming more like the people you dislike- gossipy and wannabe celebrity putting your own pics up with famous people. I was hoping you’d keep to being a straight forward and fact based blogger who prefers to be behind the scenes.

Just goes to show,how unprofessional Obama really is.What kind of president attacks someones personal appearance?4 long years to go,can’t wait until he’s gone.

I hate how people are making drama and trying to slanderize our new President. He actually quoted the magazine because under the picture of Jessica Simpson it says “in a weight battle”. He even POINTED to the magazine.

you gossip sites need to stop trying to make headlines over stupid ****.

god dang she is a friggin sow.

no mo cream girl!!

I am not an Obama fan, but I saw the interview and it was in no way offensive. Matt Lauer held up the magazine cover, where O was cut out of the picture with his family, and replaced by the JS weight story. It was tongue and cheek. He would have commented about anyone who was in that space.

The president couldn’t care less about Jessica Simpson. The interviewer shouldn’t even have mentioned it. How professional.

It´s great to have sb as a president who speaks so open and does not pretend to be sb else or sb who always just says what people wanna hear. For sure he did not intend to hurt sb.

Jessica is a futile celebrity. Stop giving her the time of the day. When was the last time you ever listened to her album or even better heard her songs being played anywhere? NEVER!

There is only one celeb who can get away with a fuller body.
I think it’s because of her “BLACK-MISTYC”-look.
That person is: KIM KARDASHIAN.
(she will continue to be the only one, folks)

DON’T YOU THINK OBAMA HAS MORE IMPORTANT THINGS TO WORRY ABOUT THAN A STRAIGHT TO DVD ACTRESS?

I agree that the other guy shouldn’t even have brought this up! Obama is a good guy, he was just quoting, and of course every one comments on it now. It is all very stupid and is gonna be forgotten very fast.

YOU CANNOT JUDGE YOUR PRESIDENT ACCORDING TO A STUPID DETAIL, HE IS NO ROBOT

He read the headline off the cover. Good grief!

Damn, why does this woman dress as she does? I think she makes Britney Spears look like a fashionista. At least here, no 6″ heels, surprised she didn’t find boots with heels! She needs to loose the always with her 20 pd purses, they make her look short and stumpy, the stupid hats, the clumsy jewerly, and get that disgusting extension (that she said her bff Paves recommended washing 2 or 3 x a month!ewwwwwwwww and in many many pic;’s, oh you can tell it’s dirty, UGH!) and have her OWN natural bob, or whatever the length is now, because she lives in this crap on her head,which also adds pounds. Look at the video where this started, her hair, sure does make her look bigger. She’s tiny and hasn’t a clue how to make herself attractive, which she sure can be, she instead, (and a middle part, not with her face!) chooses to look 20 pounds more, then she probably is. She can’t sing or act, but she’s famous, go figure.

Ashlynn needs to get a grip!! - and stop promoting Bush already! His presidency is over and the majority of the world thought he was an a**hole/ ingrate. You never know how he might have responded but judging by his response to issues that mattered, I think it is safe to suppose that his response would have been none too intelligent. (Anyone remembered that time he was in Britain and accidentally left his microphone on at a conference - I believe he said something that made people think even less of him)

She does not look fat to me.. She looks pregnant to me..

Hey check this out. If you go to TMZ and write Janet Dickinson they won’t send you the conformation email to post it. Why is she off limits on that site? I only wanted to say Glenn Beck made her to eat a sandwich on his show. I tried 10-12 times and couldn’t post it.

The media is saying how bad it is for young girls to hear that Jessica Simpson is fat. They are a bunch of hypocrites. They all gave Jessica plenty of air time so she could brag that she starved herself and worked out 2 1/2 hours a day everyday to fit into a pair of shorts. Is that ok for young girls to hear?

The media is a joke and spins every story to their advantage. Forget about the truth, morals or honest journalism. It’s all about the money to them.

Don’t send message to my boyfriend,thank you !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dear q’s boyfriend,

It’s time for q’s meds.

Sincerely,
Concerned

COM ON!! …

He´s the f*president and this is just some gossip magazine. He has better things to do then dealing with Jessica Simpson weight.

You people are overreacting.

This is a dmub assed thread. The President didn’t comment on Jessica Simpson’s weight. The media needs to STOP twisting things. Matt Lauer was teasing him that while Michelle and his daughters made the cover of the MAgazine, he’d been bumped off of it because of a picture about Jessica Simpson. Matt then held up the Magazine cover and Obama read the caption that went with Jessica’s picture. Oh. Well. Nothing happening here people. Move right along…
