The only "activity" that gives someone a butt like hers is cheeseburger arm curls.

Oh, shut it Michelle and go eat another taco. Maybe some lobster too, while accompanied by 20 friends and staying in an expensive hotel on yet another vacation. Yeah, fat kids are our problem. Pfft.

Not a problem, but a crisis of inactivity that only Big Govt can solve for the proletariat.

There’s certainly a “crisis of inactivity” in the White House.

Just curious. While everybody dislikes the Obamas, does anybody contend that what she says is not accurate?
To: Tolerance Sucks Rocks
If you cannot be a good example, then you will just have to serve as a horrible warning.
like Michelle Obama.

Who says she’s inaccurate? I suspect she wants to force everybody to do the same thing, however.

But let your children play outside while cooking dinner and the state will snatch them from you.
This is an environment the GOVERNMENT created.

Kids today reportedly spend an average of seven and a half hours a day watching TV, playing with cellphones, computer games, video games.
Yeah, I call BS on that one, by sheer physical counting of the hours kids have in a day.
Of course if she is talking about, ahem, underserved communities where kids are out on the streets past midnight on school nights, I concede

We may well be raising the most sedentary generation of kids in the history of this country, Mrs. Obama...FUMO! I've got a son in the United States Army, one daughter in college who swims, and another who swims and runs cross country. And we did that without your help. So again, FUMO!!!!

I was a kid in the 60's. Kids had so much freedom then. No such thing as toy safety laws. What was a bicycle helmet? LOL! We had toy cap guns and pop air guns. Parents were stricter but without gov. intervention. The parents were the law then. Had to be home for supper on time was the rule.
We had no parental taxi service, if you wanted to see a friend, you hopped on your bike and rode to their neighborhood.
If I wanted to climb 50 feet up a tree, nobody was stopping me. If you wanted to throw snowballs at each other, learn how to dodge to avoid being hit. Loved going into the woods, picking berries, building forts and exploring.
Mom wanted us out of the house because dad was working 3rd shift and sleeping. We went to the park and played baseball or football without supervision. All sports today is organized by adults. There was no such thing as "playscapes".
Junk food to me then were saltines and ritz crackers. I hated cookies. We never went out to eat. Mom made dinner.
The rules and regulations incrementally passed over the last 35 years by do - gooders has taken the real fun being a kid in the wild.

As opposed to the president, who can always be counted upon to be active on the links - especially when he’s needed in the White House.
Meanwhile, Michelle keeps her gums flapping non-stop.
