Friday at the The White House’s 2015 Kids State Dinner, President Barack Obama told the 2015 winners of the Healthy Lunchtime Challenge to pressure their classmates to not eat foods like chips.
After joking about one of the dishes being named “barackamole,” Obama said, “The reason it’s so important for you guys to be here and to be doing what you are doing is because the truth is that parents it turns out don’t always have the most influence in terms of encouraging young people to eat healthy. What really helps is when their friends at school are all like ‘ah you are having chips, I’m sorry, I’m having the barackamole’ and then because you are a cool kid, suddenly the other kids are all like, well if that cool kid is eating broccoli, maybe I should try that broccoli out.”

Bully? Over chips?
their friends are all like, and then the other kids are all like:
What is this, Obama talking like a teenage girl??? What the heck??? He’s saying “their friends are like” and “the other kids are like”??? This from someone who is so intelligent and articulate, the most articulate president ever????
A person who was elected to the highest office in the land actually said, "...suddenly the other kids are all like..."
Is he trying to sound like a typical, illiterate, ignorant 14 year old girl? Or is he one????
[shakes head in disgust]
Pretty soon Obama (more likely Michelle) is going to demand kids snitching on their parents and their neighbors, too.
When is he going to release his own little red book?
He is doing public service and wants the kids conditioned for the coming economic crisis when ANY food will be scarce. Learning to eat healthy things like sawdust, dandelions, tree bark and potato skins will be a must.
Bullying is OK when it is state-sanctioned.
After joking about one of the dishes being named “barackamole,”
I tried to turn it down when it was first offered, but I was forced to take it. Then I tried to sneak it into the trash after four years but it was plopped back on my tray again. Now finally after 1.5 more years it will be hauled off.
Great. The President of the United States advocates bullying.
Indeed. Bullying, racism, and hate are all perfectly acceptable so long as the targets are state-approved.
and I'm sure Utz, Lays, Ruffles, etc., were THRILLED with his little speech.
I’d like to buy an “A”, please ...
And yes, he is one. So is Moosechelle.
Selling short in Frito Lay, is he?
Yes, it is.
Like so many other career politicians, especially those on the left, he's a chameleon, ready and willing to adapt to whatever environment surrounds him.
If there weren't so many suckers falling for it, they wouldn't be doing it.
“I thought it was your Barackamole, but then I saw it was a fly.”
