What you should be asking is how low can HE go? President studly pecs making fun of Jessica Simpson's weight gain

Oh please. I watched this interview when it aired and he did no such thing. He just read the text above the photo, and his 'yeah, oh well' comment after was clearly related to being cut off of the front of the magazine.
I don't use this face much, but:
Agree with Ebree 100%! He VERY CLEARLY wasn't making fun of her -- he was just reading the headline as it appeared on the magazine, nothing more. If anyone was making fun of anyone, Matt Lauer was poking fun at a magazine (and culture) that would replace the President's picture with one of Jessica Simpson. It's ridiculous this is even a story!
As for his "people think I'm cool" comment, if you watch the interview, he was clearly using cool to mean composed and in control (i.e. cool as a cucumber), not the cool that means "I'm so awesome".
Starsapphire -- I can't imagine you truly believe the liberal agenda to be as you've described, but, in case you're not 100% kidding, you might want to do some reading. Your post is insulting and inflammatory and I don't imagine you would take too kindly to having your position so hideously misrepresented.
