Obama replaced by Jessica Simpson on magazine cover

But Obama laughed off the incident by saying ,”Yeah,it’s a little hurtful,” when he was informed about the magazine’s decision to replace him with Simpson by NBC’s Matt Lauer during an interview.

“Who’s in a weight battle,apparently,” Obama quipped,reading the magazine’s cover.

The 28 year old singer Jessica Simpson became the centre of a media blitz surrounding her recent weight gain when she was clicked in Florida last week wearing high-waisted jeans and a tight black tank top.
