Obama isn't a Fatty

By wt

The NYT Caucus blog has an interesting article about how Obama doesn't eat all the food he's given on the campaign trail because he's trying to stay fit.

[A] blonde woman walks up and offers a jarful of chocolate doodads (that is, I believe, the term of cocoa-sweetened art).

Mr. Obama eats just one and opines: ?Quite tasty.?

Eat another, the store manager commands. Our calorie counting candidate demurs. The manager furrows her brow and stares him in the eye and says: ?Oh, now you don?t worry about calories in a chocolate factory.?

The candidate smiles weakly.

My favorite part of the article is when they contrast Obama with Bill Clinton, who "wolfed almost anything down with gusto."
