Oops! First Lady Michelle Obama’s attempt to turn the 135th Annual Easter Egg Roll into another one of her “Let’s Move” events backfired when the kids in attendance announced that they liked spaghetti and meatballs more than peas and broccoli.
Her first mistake was choosing (or allowing someone in her office to choose) the children’s book “Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs” by Judi Barrett for the reading part of the event. “Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs,” for those of you not familiar with it, is all about very unhealthy foods, such as pancakes and hamburgers, falling from the sky.
So naturally when she finished the reading and asked the kids in attendance what foods they hoped would fall from the sky, many of them asked for sugar-laden foods like ice cream and candy. That was clearly not the answer Mrs. Obama – who last month announced that she hopes for an America in which kids beg for fruits and vegetables – was looking for, as she promptly suggested that they should be excited about “peas” and other of her favorite foods.
“Let’s just say it’s eat your vegetables,” FLOTUS said. “That’s the moral of the story.”
Actually, that’s not the moral. The book is about a fantasy world where yummy, unhealthy foods fall from the sky. There is no moral.
Unfortunately, this isn’t the only time the First Lady will be ramming her healthy agenda down the throats of America’s youth this week. She will be hosting children from schools in D.C., Florida, Massachusetts, Tennessee and Vermont as they plant a garden on the South Lawn as part of the ‘Let’s Move’ program on Thursday.
She chose children from these schools because they have “made exceptional improvements to school lunches through implementation of the “Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act,” according to the press release.
And to think all these kids really wanted were their chocolate bunnies and Peeps.
The White House garden what a farce.
She goes out for the Photo-op and the White House Gardeners do all the work.
Great pic.
Wouldn’t you love to have a listing of what Sasha and Malia are grubbing down on their 4 star resort hotel junkets?
Kids will be begging for food soon enough...
FLOTUS will brow-beat the author to revise the book to better fit her agenda.
The pair of idiots in the White House have passed from being merely a disgrace to become an international joke.
The punch lines, “Barack Obama” “Michelle Obama” and/or “the president of the United States” are, of themselves, sufficient to provoke howls of derision all over the world.
Yep, sure makes one proud to be an American....
I’m still proud to be an American, but I am disgusted that 53% of the voters in this country are blithering idiots.
LOL!:o)
It's as if "daughter of Jerusalem" is also a name/metaphor for America.
Lamentations 2:15-17
15. All who pass by clap their hands at you; they hiss and wag their head at the daughter of Jerusalem, saying, Is this the city that men call the perfection of beauty, the joy of the whole earth:
16. All your enemies have opened their mouth against you; they hiss and gnash the teeth; they say, We have swallowed her up; certainly this is the day that we looked for; we have found it, we have seen it:
17. The Lord has done that which he had determined; he has fulfilled his word that he had commanded in the days of old; he has thrown down without pity; and he has caused your enemy to rejoice over you, he has raised up the horn of your adversaries:
Kids at the Peeps concession= 2000
Kids at the kale and turnips concession = 0
Go figure.
To h3ll with her and her meddlin’ fat @ss. I noticed the new ‘helmet hair’ is to cover her angry eyebrows. Maybe she could work on those jutting teeth of hers with Invisalign. She talks like Bubba Gump saying the word “shwimp” every time I hear her try to say “shruggle”. Ugh! She’s vile.
Like she would know what a moral was.
LOL!
Mooshell looks like she’s ready to beat back a guy with an ice cream cart.
A NEVER-ENDING PARTY While US kids were shut out of the WH supposedly due to sequestration Secret Service cutbacks, the O's teen daughter was spotted in NYC last week---with girlfriends---dining at the pricey Buddakan, scoffing up rock shrimp, edamame dumplings, short ribs, lobster fried rice........replete w/ five Secret Service guards dining nearby, while students her age were denied access to the people's house.
Buddakan.
The handlers had to find a way to soften her image after the hate filled speeches she was getting in trouble for..and picked “healthy food”. Mrs. Obama has no more interest in broccoli than she does in the well being of white people. It’s all part of The Fraud being perpetrated upon the American people by these usurpers and their merry band of angry socialists.
You hit the nail on the head Mary.
These two are frauds from the word go.
I was at the grocery store yesterday and they always have magazines where you check out. There she was on the front of Vogue magazine I just laughed because she is not a model
nor does she look like one. She tires to hide her gigantic teeth but they still poked through her lips. Must be nice to have people swoon over you and tell you how gorgeous you are when the opposite is true.
Ugly is pretty
Evil is good
Some country we now live in.
“Cloudy with a chance of Meatballs” was a GREAT kids movie, and gave me an opportunity to teach my child about the intrusiveness of government upon an entrepreneur!!
For those of you who don’t know, the story is about a kid who wanted to invent something...and no one believed in him....well, he finally invented a “food machine” that would make stuff people wanted.
And guess who decides they NEED to CONTROL this new machine the boy invented? Yep, the government. And the government screws it up....
I was pleasantly surprised by the movie.....it did not fit the “liberal” movie mold at all for kids.
Just like “The Bee Movie” by Jerry Seinfeld....great conservative message in that film, too—if you discourage work, the world will stop getting what it wants...almost like an “Atlas Shrugged” lesson for children. :)
