Leave it to Michelle Obama to transform the time-honored White House Easter Egg Roll into what is essentially a grueling, daylong bootcamp.
If you think an Easter egg hunt and chocolate bunnies are the themes of the 137th White House Easter Egg Roll on Monday, you are way off. Try core-strength training and pledges of nutritional and physical improvement to the first lady.
Drop and give Michelle 20.
The Whitehouse website states, “the day’s activities will encourage children to lead healthy, active lives in support of the first lady’s ‘Let’s Move’ initiative.”
With “sports and fitness zones” promised, it sounds more like fat camp than a day of family Easter fun.

Only Michelle Obama could make a tradition like the Easter Egg Roll all about her.

Who the hell appointed THIS hypocritical biatch food czar? Anyone else getting SICK OF THESE CLOWNS??

Would any conservative bring their kids to the Easter Egg hunt with the current inhabitants?
If only liberal kids anyway, they are the plantation kids that the Obamas own so they better get used to doing what the head of the plantation house decrees. She would probably like to have them weeding the gardens and mowing the grass.

The Whitehouse website states...There is no such place as the "Whitehouse."
To: calvincaspian
It should be a wonderful day of fun with lots of
chocolate broccoli bunnies and
candy arugala eggs along with boilerplate Commie pledges, Body Fat Measurement nagging, and Hitler Youth training!
Forget Resurrection Day. This is May Day and Hitlerputsch Tag a month early. All we need is a few spirited verses of the 'Horst Wessel Song' and 'The Internationale' to round out the Easter celebration!
