I know it has been said often, but Chris Christie really looks very unhealthy.

[Stinky The Clown]

To his credit, he is moving fast and under a lot of pressure. I think he is genuinely invested in getting his state back on its feet. But the stress is obvious. He looks pallid, short of breath, barely hanging on.

He looks like a man on the verge of a heart attack. His weight is an obvious issue, but all that stress on top of it just can't be any good for him.

1. if he strokes out it'll be god's punishment...

...for hanging out with that colored fellow. Wait for it....

[Indpndnt]

14. Sadly, that's exactly what they'll say.

2. I don't care much for Christie, but since the disaster, the man has been a Lion and he clearly is

working for the best interests of his constituents. He is taking this disaster personally, you can see that in his face. He is everywhere.

3. I will say this

I don't want to sound mean, but if he does run he's going to have to get healthy. He breathes hard as well.

[Chorophyll]

4. I don't like the man, but geez. He's seen a lot of shit the last few days

that he never expected to see. I would imagine he hasn't slept much. Let's wish him the best in this case.

5. This times a bajillion. N/t

6. He looked

extremely tired and I'm sure he is. My brother in law was obese like Christie, ended up with diabetes in his late 40's and dropped dead of a massive heart attack at 55. Christie really will have to lose a lot of weight before anyone will want him as a Presidential candidate in 2016. He'd never survive it.

9. Why would anyone with half a brain want him, even if he were an ideal weight???

HE'S A REPUBLICAN.

[kestrel91316]

7. Shhhhh. We're not allowed to comment on his weight.

[Honeycombe8]

8. Yeah, I don't think he can be elected President because of that.

He's not healthy. (not making fun of his size. I'm noting his health, which is caused by his size, probably.)

[Glimmer of Hope]

10. I am not a fan but I hope he is taking care of himself. I worry about his health too.

[JI7]

11. these few days have aged the President a lot also , though he is healthy

so he can deal with it.

[Zambero]

12. He needs an intervention

Not to be politically viable, but just to survive. It's one thing to be morbidly obese. It's another to endure incredible stress on top of what is already a significant risk factor. Some individuals habitually treat stress with excessive food intake, and for his own sake Christie needs to be able to refocus in a manner that doesn't kill him. Hopefully he will be able to weather this crisis and get help in a timely manner.

13. to be honest, I'm kinda surprised he doesn't use a scooter

at this point. The man is frankly enormous, and at least a scooter would help put less pressure on his heart.
