Barbara Walters angered folks .

Her interview with Governor Christie last night.
..."why are you overweight? "
Weird question IMO but what kind of answer merits the question. By the way he said he didn't know. I bet he cussed her out in his head.

He can't control himself in any way at all. He over eats, over reacts, and is an overbearing load of crap. His lack of self control is why he shouldn't be governor and should never ever be president.

The last election was the first time I voted for a third party for governor. I despise Christie and Corzine and couldn't vote for either. If the choice is between Christie and that self serving phony Booker than I will once again vote for a third party. President Obama is the only democrat i have voted for in recent years and looking at the current crop of candidates I guess it will continue. New jersey is corrupt to the core and it's both parties.

You assumed it was about every overweight person. Christie lacks self control and it has manifested itself in both his attitude and his size.

Some people can be overweight due to health reasons, medication, genetics, or other factors. Christie is just an out of control person and he has shown that many times. Maybe if he didn't go around behaving like a mean version of Ralph Kramden people wouldn't be so hard on him.
