The woman doing my pedicure said it just like that: “You have fat feet.”. Who was she to be critical of my feet and my diet about both of which she knew nothing! I was going to include a picture here of my fat feet, but when I took the pictu...

Here’s what Obama is saying:. Date : October 7, 2008.
