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.

Good thing Easter does not fall on Cesar Chaves’ birthday again this year- maybe Google will not be distracted by all the celebrations for that and put up a Google icon acknowledging it this year.
What in the word does chocolate bunnies and colored (excuse me, African-Americaned) hard-boiled eggs have to do with the resurrection of Jesus Christ?
If I was President, I'd do away with the stupid Easter egg roll.
Honest to Pete, who actually goes to these things?
Here in the midwest, chillrun will continue to enjoy the traditional pickled egg from the jar at the local tavern while dad hoists a cold one to missus Obama and her husband.

Hey! You been lookin’ at our Family Photos, again? :)
(No toasting of Socialists in my family, though plenty of beers have been consumed through the years!)
I went to one, once. During the Clinton years... must have been 1999.
All I can remember is Justin Timberlake, then in N’sync, reading Peter Cottontail, and Roger Clinton on the roof of the White House with a beer in his hand.
Despite the media’s fawning portrayal, Willie Jeff was white trash.
Let’s Move.
That’s funny. Sure wish that’s what she was saying to her traitor husband.
Shucks - does this mean they didn’t keep her in Japan or Cambodia? And there wasn’t a typhoon to keep her from getting back here? I heard about one around the Philippines and was hoping she wanted to make a stop there also.....
They prefer obscure. That’s kind of the point, not to hit the days everybody knows what they are, but the ones they don’t.
I could see hoisting a cold one and saluting with a middle one...
