Huckabee: Sarah Palin’s wrong, Michelle Obama’s right
Politico ^ | 12/22/2010 | Jennifer Epstein

Potential GOP presidential candidate Mike Huckabee says Sarah Palin’s wrong and Michelle Obama’s right, at least when it comes to the first lady’s push to combat childhood obesity.

“With all due respect to my colleague and friend Sarah Palin, I think she's misunderstood what Michelle Obama is trying to do,” the former Arkansas governor said Tuesday on the “Curtis Sliwa Show.”

You might even see a rib or two on the dog. No scraps left from the table for him.

HUCK MAY HAVE LOST WEIGHT BUT HE CAN STAND TO LOSE SOME MORE, BOTH OF THEM! and then what do we do with ugly? How do we get rid of that? How about more PE in schools and recess? Kids watch too much TV and play video games, what’s Huck and Michelle going to do about that? Idiots! Mind your own damn business.

Remember these names; Sgt. Mark Renninger, 39, and Officers Ronald Owens, 37, Tina Griswold, 40, and Greg Richards, 42.

Huckabee cannot ever be president.

If anyone has misunderstood what Michelle Obama is trying to do, it’s the Huckster hisself.

Mikey, Mikey, Mikey! Look in the mirror. On matters of personal health, who's the better role model?

The irony is Huckabee lost weight without the govt getting involved. And he never blamed the govt for getting fat in the first place. If anyone he should know that when it comes to obesity it’s mainly about personal responsiblity. There are some exceptions and various diseases and things where it’s not, but for the most part if you eat right and exercise you won’t get fat. Even if you don’t exercise that much as long as you eat right you won’t get fat.

Gov Palin should trumpet her record in this area. Under her leadership Alaska won back to back titles as the most physically active state in the union in the President’s Physical Fitness Challenge. For some reason after AK won for a second time in 2009 the program was cancelled. Hmm...

Part of this is also typical media overreaction. Palin makes an obviously joking comment(that I probably would have edited out if it were up to me)and the media plays it up into some egregious personal insult.

On the whole though this initiative is pretty harmless. There are way more important things to worry about than Michelle Obama saying a few things about childhood obesity.

Just another “nanny stater”, but then we knew that, didn’t we?

I'm exaggerating a bit. Jeb came out (again) against the Arizona immigration enforcement and made the remark (perhaps partly tongue-in-cheek) that he obviously wasn't running for president and to prove it, he reminded us that he opposed the Arizona law.

And Huck comes out backing Michelle Obama on the dessert issue against Sarah Palin. Again, for all I know, he may be partly tongue-in-cheek on that too, although I remember his interview with Mrs Obama a few months ago in which he complimented her profusely for her stand on children's diet.

Palin had made a joke on her Alaska show when she was handing out treats to the kids, that Michelle might not like this... which led to Huck's remark saying that he sided with Michelle.

And I'm saying (maybe partly tongue-in-cheek), that by backing Michelle against Sarah, he is making himself unelectable. Thats just me; I'm sure he doesn't agree.

...Sarah is a delightfully slim person. I’ll take her diet any time.

Her "diet" involves a lot of running, something the fat and lazy crowd have trouble emulating.
