Nutty News Washington DC - First lady Michelle Obama will be speaking out to remove barriers to breastfeeding throwing the spotlight on nursing as a way to reduce childhood obesity.
“We want to get into child-care centers, day-care centers, and start talking about how — what kind of snacks they’re getting there. We want to have those conversations at an earlier level. But those are just some of the things that you’ll see.”
Meanwhile, the Internal Revenue Service announced that the costs for “breast pumps and supplies that assist lactation are medical care” are now, under the IRS code eligible for tax breaks. That means that breastfeeding supplies could be treated as deductible medical expenses and/or be reimbursed under flexible spending plans.
She needs to learn to keep her mouth shut and mind her own damn business. If it takes having a breast pump shoved down her throat, then so be it.
Get the government out of my life. Next they will pass a law that it is child abuse if you don’t breasfeed.
Apparently it will now be okay to deduct bras from taxes, as a breastfeeding pump holder.
The next thing the Socialist Central Government is going to require is for all businesses to have a nice breastfeeding room. I can see it coming.
Are they going to call this one boobgate or hootergate?

Why stop there? Just make clothing optional, allow public breastfeeding, and have women carry around baskets on their heads. They’re turning us into a third world nation, anyhow.
Further, the blouse is a breastfeeding pump holder housing. A coat is a breastfeeding pump holder housing insulator.
Has anybody asked her if she did it?
Why not? Americans have pretty much agreed that parents are nothing but the temporary care takers of the state's property. Since the state owns the children, they will do with them as the state pleases.
It is a total bust from the get go.
Typical lib.
They want everybody on the government’s teat............
I cant believe she shared her body with her children as infants. She is way too selfish of a human being.
But I do see this should apply to people on the dole, since formula is very expensive and the taxpayers should not have to pay for something that is manufactured naturally. But that would mean putting down the crack pipe, and we cant have that!
If butts could produce milk, she could end world hunger.
This silly woman was not elected. She needs to be put in her place and reminded of that.
If she wants to make policy, she needs to run for office.
I am so sick of her.
A joke.
This IS a joke, right??
Please, PUHLEEEZE tell me this is a joke!!
She says she did, but lying is an Obama trait.
I suggest the muthah-in-chief provide her idiot husband with the following correspondance courses:
1: Capitalism 101
2: Simple math
3: How to speak and tell the truth
4: Geography for Idiots
As a male, I want to file a gender discrimination suit.
I wonder if a designer can create a “Boob Belt” with a “Breast Pump” attachment holster for Ms. Barry?
Thank God for punctuation. (”Michelle Obama to Promote Breastfeeding IRS too”)
