WASHINGTON – First lady Michelle Obama says her "Let's Move" physical fitness campaign isn't about telling the American people what to do.

Obama tells ABC's "Good Morning America" that improving diet and exercise habits is "a national security issue."

The "Let's Move" campaign will be a year old next month, and President Barack Obama's wife has recently been taking it to military installations. She says in the interview broadcast Friday that too many young military men and women are "unable to train" because of weight, fitness and nutrition programs.

“.. too many young military men and women are “unable to train” because of weight, fitness and nutrition programs”

Let’s see numbers, please

Maybe numbers broken down by race

“Move Your Fat Ass” is, I think, a catchier name.

I refuse to take nutrition and fitness advice from a person who’s backside has it’s own zipcode.

Do you really want to be bombarded with pictures of Moosechelle in some hideous workout attire and all sweaty? Although that would help some lose weight due to the fact that they would most likely barf their lunch up at the sight.

Ewww! I just gave myself a mental picture.

I cannot stand this lady. So many people are thinking this is a great idea, but it’s all about control. This is the only thing this administration is about. Control. Nothing they do is without reason. It is very frustrating when people just look at issues only skin deep.

Another thought...

It’s called discipline and self control Michelle. If I don’t eat 30 cookies in a sitting and exercise, I lose weight. If I eat 30 cookies and don’t exercise, I gain weight. I want that choice, not you. You will not take my 30 cookies away from me.

Sadly for all of us who might have to live by the rules this witch sets, the science of diet and exercise changes just about weekly. Remember when eggs were bad? Now they’re “good.” Coconut oil was bad, now it’s good. The type of exercise that is “good” also changes with the calendar. All anyone can really agree about is that we all need “some” exercise.

Mrs. Pres__ent should just shut up and sit down. Obviously, all her ideas have not done her sizeable backside much good. And I hear her husband, the fraudulent office holder, still smokes. And I want advice from them?

IMO Moochelle's concern with fitness has more in common with an NOI Do-For-Self type program for the community she's really targeting than any wider concern for national fitness.

The 'national security' angle is dress the thing up to appeal to the masses. IMO

While shopping at Walmart the other day, there was a rack of Michelle Obama calendars at the end of the aisle. Yikes. A monthly Michelle? By all means, let’s squelch the “Michelle in workout togs” pics! Yetch!

Yeah, let’s see her unload many pounds from her posterior first, before we can consider her serious. What a pompous, arrogant fool she is.

STHU already! Just sit in the WH kitchen, eat, and shut up!

I have absolutely no interest in anything she has to say.
