Mike Huckabee Used To Be Super Fat
February 11, 2008
...until BREAKFAST saved his life!
In 2002, Presidential candidate Mike Huckabee weighted 280 pounds. Climbing a flight of stairs would leave him panting and sweating like a pig. He could barely fit his large butt into seats in airplanes and theaters. He once sat in an antique chair at the state Capitol and it collapsed.
But there was nothing funny about the effects of obesity on his health. The Republican candidate was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. He experienced chest pains and feared heart disease. Physicians told him that he would not live more than ten years if he did not lose weight.
Facing certain death, "The Huckster" went on a diet. According to the New York Times, "it was as if he simply unzipped a fat suit and stepped out." In the course of a year, the Governor lost over 100 pounds.
How did he do it? He began to eat right, eliminating almost all junk food. His diet consisted of many small meals each day. He got serious about exercise and even ran the New York City Marathon in 2006. But there was something else.
In a live 2005 internet chat with Newsweek readers, Mick Huckabee said, "NEVER skip breakfast... I cook my own breakfast each day."
The scientific community has known the weight loss properties of breakfast for some time. Researchers from the National Weight Control Registry found that eating breakfast every day was a weight control strategy for 78% of successful dieters.
According to a Harvard study, people who miss breakfast are four times more likely than others to become obese.
Mike Huckabee knows first-hand what breakfast can do. So the question remains: when will he announce a policy on the importance of breakfast? When will he share his secret weight loss weapon with the world?
According to independent candidate for President, Mr Breakfast, "I don't dig his politics, but I like his ideas on nutrition."

Senator Lieberman:
I appreciate that your staff took the time to respond to my E-mail. However, I did expect more from you—as I would expect from every other elected official. You responded with a detached sort of professional courtesy, and basically tossed my concerns aside (as politely as one can be when dismissing another’s concerns). Nonetheless, it is your duty, as an elected official, to come to the aid of any AMERICAN FAMILY IN DISTRESS—not exclusively those who live, are related to, or have lived in Connecticut.
My family has come under attack—here in America—for my asking questions about my inheritance in Israel. The inheritance passed down to me from an American WWII 100% disabled Veteran (who was an only child to his widowed mother) volunteered, yes, volunteered to go off to fight in WWII to help save his bloodline. My family has come under attack—here in America—for my asking questions about my inheritance in Israel.
Irvin Ruben and the Jewish Defense League (JDL) threatened to kill my daughter (FBI and state Department reports are filed concerning this event). They also tried killing my wife, and nephew in front of my home, then followed my two daughters’ school bus, and threatened violent marches in front of my house. They posted my picture with my name, address, and phone number on the Internet. Here are some examples: Abe ayad - Google Search
A Freemason by the name of Abe Foxman (head of national ADL), and one of his side-kicks, Betty Sue Fueuer, have spent millions of dollars and countless resources to persecute me for my paintings, (which I stopped to help save 450 civil servant jobs in Cleveland). They want to persecute me and my family for exercising our civil rights.
Certain Politicians (as well as the City of Cleveland, and Judges in Civil Courts, Federal Courts, Ohio Supreme Court, and now the U.S. Supreme Court) are being UNJUSTLY influenced by this Freemason, and are inflicting undue and unjust pain and suffering to a proud and loyal American family just because they can, THE FEAR AND GESTAPO TACTICS USED BY THIS FREEMASON ARE DISPICABLE AND HAVE NO PLACE HERE IN AMERICAN SOCIETY.
ALL I EVER WANTED WAS FOR THE AMERICAN JEW TO STAND UP FOR WHAT'S RIGHT, BUT I GUESS THEY CAN'T DO TO MUCH RIGHT, AND YOU SENATOR ARE AN AMERICAN AND SHOULD START ACTING AS SUCH!!!
Maybe I'm wrong but I still believe in America and American value even if you or your co-horts (Other Senators or congressman influenced by this NAZI Abe Foxman Freemason) DON'T.
EVER LOYAL AMERICAN PATRIOT
ABE AYAD LOVING FATHER AND SON
