NEW ORLEANS (AP) - First lady Michelle Obama led toddlers at a New Orleans daycare center in calisthenics and read them a book about a mouse that eats green peas, bidding to get America's children eating better and exercising more.

Obama stretched, jumped and marched in place before reading to the children who gathered in a classroom with their parents and teachers at the Royal Castle Child Development Center. The center focuses on preschoolers from families with moderate and low incomes.

Peas are actually very starchy. Not the best choice of vegetable. I don’t even count them as a veggie. I count them as a starch. Same with corn.

I thought we were having an earthquake in Houston. But it was just Michelle doing jumping jacks.

That’s funny, I want Michelle to move too. I want her to move back to Chicago. I want her to be so busy eating her own peas that I never have to hear from or about her again.

Wish she’d move out of our White House.
Is that white part racist?

Just amazing about the hypocrisy of this rather rotund-in-the-bottom-half woman can get away with preaching to anybody about being heavy.

If she took a couple of full-length mirrors away from Obambi, she'd see how corpulent she is. Pathetic!

What is it about these two and their obsessions with eating peas?

Unbelievable. Coercing citizens to quit smoking, eat right and exercise is now a legitimate gubmint function.

“—Provide access to water throughout the day, and do not serve sugary drinks.”

Sounds like a list for our pets, more than for children.
