First Lady Michelle Obama is planning an elaborate unveiling on Tuesday of the anti-childhood obesity drive she is leading.
Mrs. Obama's East Wing said she will be "joined by members of the president's cabinet, as well as media, sports, entertainment, and business leaders," plus mayors, member of the medical community and others at the White House event. On Tuesday evening, Mrs. Obama will sit down with CNN's Larry King for an interview about obesity and her first year as first lady. She will take questions from viewers.
"Over the past three decades, childhood obesity rates in America have tripled; nearly one third of children in America are now overweight or obese," the East Wing said in a statement. "The First Lady will announce the elements of the nationwide campaign, which will put us on track to solve the problem of childhood obesity in a generation."
When I was a kid, there were 10 cabinet members. Since then, it's been inflated to 21.
I predict one consequence of MO's program will be that fat kids will be even more ostracized than they were before and they will be blamed for the other kids losing many food choices in school.
It will not be pretty. And MO will not be able to blame it on Bush.
What, another fat sow of a wife (i.e., Hitlery Klinton) of POTUS who’s launching a career in politics?
Plans to de butt chillrin.
Good thing she is so skinny./sarc
She has to get side mirrors and the back-up warning siren installed first.
Likely success of this program?
Fat chance.
Or should it be slim chance?
Just say *NO*.
True. Not so much that it would disappear, but the progressive nannys wouldn't be able to get people worked up about it. If someone's obese it's their problem, unless the government is buying their food.
Fat viewers sitting on the sofa eating, on the phone asking Michelle questions.
Yes it kind of tracks with the more food being imported from places like China. We're so owned by the Chinese that we don't dare complain about them.
Maybe if the First Lady pumped some morals into her kids, they wouldn’t be looking to food to straighten things out. And since her kids aren’t really obese to begin with, she should pump some of those same morals into herself, so she stops *using* her kids for her own agenda. Shame, shame on Michelle (and has anyone noticed *her* ample rear end?).
All sarcasm aside, how can someone so totally out of shape, with such a broad beam and huge thighs/calves be a spokesman for anything to do with weight loss . . . a roll model or a JELLY ROLL model. Just incredible!
Is there no end to the madness of these interlopers resident in the White House?
With a butt as big as hers, she has no business talking about obesity.
Is she hiding a couple of sofa cushions under those shorts?
