President Barack Obama, in an Iowa radio interview broadcast Wednesday, tried to set the record straight on his wife's ribbing of Gabby Douglas for eating McDonalds after her gold medal win.

"You know, the truth is the first lady was teasing Jay Leno, not Gabby, because Gabby can afford anything because she’s so fit," Obama said in an interview

...”because Gabby can afford anything because she’s so fit,”

...Not worth a comment. Can’t Obama just go away? I’m living a nightmare.

Yeah, back peddling again.

Gold medalist, Gabby, shouldn't celebrate eating an Egg McMuffin.

You didn't build that.

Their going to put y'all back in chains.

We're going to continue to redistribute the wealth.

We will bankrupt the coal industry.

Your electric rates will necessarily skyrocket.

Why can’t he just say that she shouldn’t have harassed the young lady? Instead the liar has to lie and say she was talking to Leno! What the hell’s the matter with this illegal-alien jerk.

We all know what she said and to whom she said it. How can he lie so easily?

Just keep digging. It is not up to Obama, his wife, or anyone in the government to decide who is fit and who is not, who gets to eat a cheeseburger, slice of pizza or egg mcmuffin, and how often they get to eat one. This is the whole point of the criticism.

Wouldn’t that be the same argument as “nobama doesn’t want to destroy Free America, he wants to help it”? Spare me. nobama (and his grifter family) should be in prison.

So much cluelessness.

The point is that Michelle Obama has no business lecturing ANYONE about what they choose to eat.

Yes, of course, and Hussein was OBVIOUSLY talking about roads and bridges, not small businesses, when he said, “You didn’t build that”.

Remember Hussein Heads, to tell your lies FREQUENTLY enough, like your LEFTIST Nazi heroes told you to!
