WASHINGTON (AP) -- New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, who says he's struggled with a weight problem most of his life, thinks first lady Michelle Obama is doing well to speak in favor of healthy eating and exercise.
Her national initiative targeting childhood obesity has drawn criticism from some conservatives who see it as an example of the government trying to exert more control over people's lives.

As she chokes down ribs and has a 40” ass and elephant hips?
Live it, then tell me, then I choose.
F the Nanny State coming from the First Wookie.
It's not that it's not a good idea. It's that if one compares her rhetoric with her actual behavior, she represents the height of hypocrisy. Much like Zero telling us we all need to cut back on our vacations while spending more time out of the the US on luxury vacations than any other president, ever. Using our credit cards.
November 2012 can't come fast enough.
Confessing that you're fat when you buy your suits in the Sumo Wrestling department isn't exactly brilliant 'strategery'; so he gained nothing by praising Moochelle's weight watching campaign. Christie should have pointed out that while his belly is wide, he'll start worrying about it when it reaches the size of the Moochelle's arse.
You’re right. Michele Obama is fat. So you should eat all the fat, bacon, fat and cheese that you want. eat spoonfulls of butter with mayonaise, swill it down with beer between cigarettes and never exercise. That’ll show’em.
You should return to Democratic Underground.
Winston sprang to attention in front of the telescreen, upon which the image of a youngish woman, scrawny but muscular, dressed in tunic and gym-shoes, had already appeared.
‘Arms bending and stretching!’ she rapped out. ‘Take your time by me. One, two, three, four! One, two, three, four! Come on, comrades, put a bit of life into it! One, two, three four! One, two, three, four! . . .’
‘Stand easy!’ barked the instructress, a little more genially...
The instructress had called them to attention again. ‘And now let’s see which of us can touch our toes!’ she said enthusiastically. ‘Right over from the hips, please, comrades. One-two! One-two! . . .’ ...
‘Smith!’ screamed the shrewish voice from the telescreen. ‘6079 Smith W.! Yes, you! Bend lower, please! You can do better than that. You’re not trying. Lower, please! That’s better, comrade. Now stand at ease, the whole squad, and watch me.’...
A sudden hot sweat had broken out all over Winston’s body. His face remained completely inscrutable. Never show dismay! Never show resentment! A single flicker of the eyes could give you away. He stood watching while the instructress raised her arms above her head and—one could not say gracefully, but with remarkable neatness and efficiency—bent over and tucked the first joint of her fingers under her toes.
‘There, comrades! That’s how I want to see you doing it. Watch me again. I’m thirty-nine and I’ve had four children. Now look.’ She bent over again. ‘You see my knees aren’t bent. You can all do it if you want to,’ she added as she straightened herself up. ‘Anyone under forty-five is perfectly capable of touching his toes.

I think her message is great, let me clear the air on that.
The utter hypocricy of having Michelle Obama tell ME what to eat or what schoolkids eat when she is a cow is like seeking marriage advice from Tiger Woods or Charlie Sheen.
I cannot stand her, her husband or anything that has to do with Radical Marxism, which she believes, fully, as does her entire political movement, Czars and Cabinet.
Food Policing is merely another Marxist move to remove choices by having a “smarter, better informed” Government official tell you what to do.
If you are fat, stop eating and start walking, and when you do eat, eat less crap.
I've been here on FR a long time and it takes me about 15 seconds to spot an ilfiltrator. I have now read all of your posts via 'In Forum'...you are very subtle, but to a trained eye, very obviously NOT aligned at all w/ the owner's declaration on the home page and elsewhere.
You are also very familiar, I'm certain if I wanted to take the time, I could find your previous screen name(s).
My suggestion; leave voluntarily. Right away please.
Wow...just wow
Let’s hope this idiot stays in NJ.
And all the idiots wanting him to run go back to DU.
Michelle Obama can sing the praises of a healthy diet and exercise, fine. But where I draw the line is any kind of government involvement, like banning trans fats or junk food “taxes” and the like. It’s not the government’s job to tell me what to eat.
Michelle obviously doesn’t take doggy bags home.
You make good points. I don't need her trying to get into my life. Any part of it. In defense of Christie, it's not bad to discuss it. The best coaches are rarely the best players. Lombardi, Belichick,Torres, Auerbach, etc. Not to say Obama is a coach, she isn't. She is over her head and is reaching for something to say to give her some sort of relevance. She failed. She is not relevant. But Christie is.
I mean....it's just so inspirational.
Pardon me while I gag...
