The 2 top jobs of this country are occupied by people practicing unhealthy behavior.

Regina M. Benjamin is our surgeon general and a bit overweight.  Not long ago, society would not judge (maybe refer to it as “big boned”) and simply move along.  Since passing the healthcare bill, we have entered into a new paradigm where we can size up someones health and equate that to long term dollar figure.  After all, if someones obesity turns into more serious health issues they will eventually tap into our federal tax bucket to treat the problems.  Based on this shared responsibility, we can voice our concern.

Barrack Obama is a smoker.   His habit is not talked about much (at least not criticized to the level is should be), but his recent physical revealed that he is still trying to quit.  Good for him and we should hope Michelle nags the crap out of him as she continues her effort to reduce childhood obesity.

They are poor examples of “practice what you preach”.  It needs to be pointed out.

Can they change?  Yes.  I hope they do and make effort to get healthier for themselves and for the health of our national debt.
