First lady defends Super Bowl menu

Even though she has been campaigning against childhood obesity for a year now, Michelle Obama defended the decision to serve bratwurst, cheeseburgers and deep dish pizza at the White House Super Bowl party over the weekend.

"I think I've always been very consistent on that front because that's how I live my life," the first lady said at a lunch with reporters on Tuesday. "It's about balance. It's always about balance."

She said it's "not realistic" to just eat healthy food all the time — especially on Super Bowl Sunday.

"I don't even know what you'd have other than some hot dogs and some burgers for a Super Bowl party,” the first lady said, noting that she uses the same everything-in-moderation approach in feeding her own children.

It’s fine you tell your kids how to eat. Just keep your mitts off mine. That’s my department.

She’s desperate to feed her little fraud anything that put a little meat on his bones.

But then this moose will dictate to the rest of us what we should eat and tell restaurants they should rip us off by giving us smaller portions, which is stupid since it will just cause people to order high fat, high calorie desserts and undo any caloric savings from a smaller dinner. Go back to knawing on a rib bone Michelle and keep out of our lives.

She doesn’t feed her own children! The whitehouse chef does, and we pay for it. Arrogant new money hag!

As I tell my kids

Good thing they told the press the kids are off limits when they got to the White House.

They hate it when they’ve laid on their hypocrisy so thick that the mainstream media notices and calls them on it.

Look they had to give the lady some cause she is good at.... only thing they could find was eating.... Like every liberal, espousing the party line is good enough, it only applies to “the little people”.

"It's about balance. It's always about balance."

As big as her posterior is, I image she knows a lot about balance. She'd have to...

I guess that’s about as good an explanation as can be expected from a dishonest person. The truthful comment would be “Everything Barrack and I do is for thee, not for me (or him).”

Am I the only one who resents this fatass telling me how to eat?

They (leftist elitists) are never embarrassed by their hypocrisy because it just doesn’t occur to them that they ARE hypocrites.

They are being entirely consistent, at least in their own minds, that they are fully capable of judging what they should eat, and that you are not.

The Queen of Fat wants to tell the rest of us how to eat and live our lives while she ignores her own back yard.

My grandson’s teacher is going through the food students bring from home and the teacher is taking what “they” don’t think is nutritious. The camel’s nose is already under our tent. They’ll be in our bedrooms next; count on it!
