Mrs. Obama's healthy eating initiative for children, "Let's Move," has been a target for conservatives like Limbaugh, Sarah Palin and Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.), who see it as a move by the Obama administration toward a "nanny state" in America. The first lady is taking on childhood obesity by campaigning to convince kids and their parents to eat healthier foods.Limbaugh is morbidly obese who should be open to helpful suggestions from everywhere. Yet he twists, lies , and attacks, guess he is sensitive about the issue as he is so incredibly fat.

I recently watche Hardball with Chris Matthews, at a time when the Middle East was burning, governors were attempting to save their state's budgets, and Mtthews spent mnost of his time talking about something the above 4 people had to say that day!
O'Reilly had a Democrat and a Republican on his program discussing the situation in Wisconsin, ad Matthews had two liberal Democrats on his program going over comments Palin has made over the past several years from a book by one of her ex-aides who saw a way to make a few bucks! I guess Chrios is just searching for that next tingle up his leg!
No being obese isn't a laughing matter. I believe parents need to get a back bone and not allow their children to eat greasy or junk food.
But they need to learn from a young age and not wait till the child is over weight or obese. They need to learn from example, not just do as I say and not as I do.
I recently saw Rush on a golf program. I could not believe the size of this man. Being obese is not a laughing matter.

If we could get kids and parents to just focus on healthy school lunches, we might get somewhere. How did junk food get inside the schools, anyway? And isn't it clear to these people the Mrs. Obama has no legal authority to force anyone to follow her recommendations. When Lady Bird Johnson wanted to beautify the highways by restricting billboards, the highway advertising lobby came after her with a rope because she was successful in getting laws passed restricting billboards. Mrs. Obama has not ventured into the legislative arena. Her's are thoughtfu recommendations that parents can adopt or ignore.

February 23 2011 at 6:53 PM Report abuse Permalink +9 rate up rate down ReplyDoes anyone realize the total absurdity of this blog/discussion or Rush Limbaugh's rant? EVERY and I'll repeat this, EVERY current history First Lady had a forum/platform. Lady Bird Johnson's "Lets Keep America Beautiful", Nancy Regan's, "Just Say No", and Laura Bush's,"No Child Left Behind", this is Michelle Obama's. Nothing more, nothing less, not a goverment conspiracy to tell us how to eat. I mean really is it so bad to try and get our children active and eating better. I mean come on people use some COMMON SENSE here? NO matter what political party you identify with. Isn't there just a few more pressing issues to worry about?

Of course, in the communities Ms. Obama is preaching to, unfortunately there aren't many two parent families. Teenage girls getting pregnant, having kids, getting 'help' from taxpayers while the fathers have no responsibility, except try to score an apartment in the same housing complex the taxpayers paid for the girl and her kid(s).
We've got a thousand page law regulating what children can eat in school, but we can't bring a cake to the bake sale. The first lady, with all her intelligence, should have tried to tackle a real issue like single teenage parents on welfare.
Sometimes books can be judged by their cover. Mrs. Obama appearance proves she is in shape. Limbaugh's appearance proves he is of a "round" shape. Mrs. Obama walks the talk, while Limbaugh just talks, and talks, and talks, and talks........

He should just look in the mirror.........and then push away from the table.
