A new article in the National Enquirer calls Obama's current appearance at scary skinny. While Obama has never been a manly man, as I often refer to him a the metrosexual president, those watching him notice he has dropped weight he can't afford to lose.
The Enquirer says it's stomach parasites:
The real reason behind PRESIDENT OBAMA's shocking weight loss - he's secretly battling stomach parasites, say sources.
The pencil-thin president caught the parasites on a trip last year to Hawaii, where he and his family also vacationed over Christmas, according to top political insiders.
"Barack has wanted to keep the stomach parasites under the radar," revealed a close source.
"There had been a public health warning about them in Hawaii when he caught them."
Concerned sources say extreme stress and a poor diet caused by his hectic schedule have contributed to the 6-foot-1 president's skeletal look.
"Michelle is fearful he's close to a physical collapse," revealed an insider.
"He appears to be wasting away."
Wasting away? Wasn't that part of Bruce Springsteen's song Streets of Philadelphia?
I was bruised and battered and I couldnt tell
What I felt
I was unrecognizable to myself
I saw my reflection in a window I didn't know
My own face
Oh brother are you gonna leave me
Wastin´away
On the streets of philadelphia
Parasites or the results of drug binges with rumored lover Larry Sinclair? I just have to ask.
