First of all, in a discussion, ad hominem attacks are disreputable. There is so much wrong in Mrs. Obama’s plan that one does not have to resort to name calling, as that always degrades the argument. In addition, Mrs. Obama is hardly overweight nor is Mrs. Clinton.To say so is just plain childish. That being said, it is the sickening dependence on the Federal government to direct lives that needs to be addressed here. If Mrs. Obama wants to do some good for the overweight children in schools then she should provide nutritional ideas, in print,for parents to emulate at home. She should stop spending the tax payer money for things that individuals can do for themselves.

There was nothing ad hominem in my “attack.” Clearly, every photo that shows her from the side or rear makes it quite obvious that she has a weight problem. And to say that Hiltery is not overweight too, it rather silly. They’re both overweight. I don’t care if they’re overweight. Just leave US ALONE AND STOP TELLING US WHAT TO EAT AND WHAT OUR KIDS SHOULD BE EATING. It’s a typical case of total liberal hypocrisy.

Mrs. Obama is an ad hominem in and of herself. And , point of fact, the womans back-side is so large it should have it’s own zip code. But yes, in any other kind of reasonable debate there is no place for ad hominems. Ad hominems are not an argument.
