With scandal swirling about the White House, First Lady Michelle Obama may be considering an extended exit from Washington this summer, fleeing for weeks to the Obamas’ traditional summer haven, Martha’s Vineyard. According to the Boston Globe, “Michelle Obama and the children may be on the island for an extended period.” But the president would hardly be suffering by comparison. He may come up on weekends and then stay for two weeks at the end of the summer, the Globe reports. It appears Michelle may be skipping her usual spring excursion overseas, which in the past has included stops at...

First Lady Michelle Obama has expanded her anti-obesity campaign to museums, enlisting them to offer “healthy food options,” and change their menus. Mrs. Obama’s “Let’s Move!” initiative is now calling for museums, zoos, gardens, science and technology centers to “join the call to action,” to decrease obesity among children. The first lady is recruiting these institutions to join the “Let’s Move! Museums and Gardens” project because of their power to “influence real and sustained behavior change” on the eating habits of kids. “With their impressive reach and great potential for impact, museums and gardens can launch community efforts to create...

The White House is marking Mother's Day, which is this Sunday, by celebrating free birth control provided by Obamacare. The White House made the declaration in a tweet today from their official Twitter account.

For a long time conservatives have warned that the heavy propaganda and regulatory hands of the Obama administration were not going to change the exercise or eating habits of 315 million Americans... Now comes early statistical proof that after reelecting Obama with fewer votes the second time and 1,567 days of his reign of government intervention and stimulation, many Americans are deciding that maybe the Obamas' plans for their lives do not fit their plans for their own lives.

The 2013 Edition of my historic “Frocky Horror Picture Show©” battle is in the can and we have a winner. The battle was fierce, fraught with technical difficulties and Court Orders. Over 4 million votes were cast and my servers are in dire need of a rest. The history books will record this election and the final results as a textbook example of Chicago Rules. Peaceful protesters marched on my little bunker challenging entries featuring Lady M in attire that, in their opinion, did not meet the strict definition of a “frock”: Butt I looked it up in my Funk...

"Jeddah newspaper says first lady saw Alharbi in hospital"A Saudi Arabian newspaper is reporting that United States First Lady Michelle Obama visited in the hospital Saudi citizen Abdul Rahman Ali Issa Al-Salimi Alharbi, the young man who had been labeled a “person of interest” in the Boston Marathon bombing. The newspaper accompanied its report with an image of Obama, although the background was generic and it couldn’t be confirmed immediately that she was at the hospital where Alharbi was being treated at the time. He reportedly suffered injuries in the Boston bombing. The newspaper’s Arabic-language report is being highlighted by...

When celebrity chef Paula Deen met with Michelle Obama, she was surprised at just how much food the first lady could put away. Mrs. Obama has become a driving force in preaching healthy eating for others, but according to the newspaper, Deen recalls, she packed away anything but healthy food -- both on the air and during the commercials. “She probably ate more than any other guest I've ever had on the show!" said Deen, sometimes called the "Queen of Butter" for her decidedly non-dietetic fare. According to the Food Network star, after complimenting Michelle on her slim figure, she...

FNN Exclusive: FNN has learned that President Obama was not invited to MS. Thatcher's funeral. The Queen had advised the President that only A-list persons were invited. President Obama was initially demoted to the B-list when he returned the gift of the bust of Winston Churchill and replaced it with a bust of Joseph Stalin. He was later further demoted to the C-list because of the table manners of his wife Michelle (aka Moo) at a state dinner hosted by the British Embassy. Several observers (who wished to remain nameless) stated she resembled a starving Ethiopian at an all-you-can-eat buffet....

First lady Michelle Obama made a deeply personal entrance into the gun debate Wednesday, the eve of a showdown in Congress, by comparing herself to the honor student from her hometown shot to death a week after performing as a majorette in the presidential inaugural parade.

A record-breaking 47.8 million Americans are on food stamps, an increase of about 1.3 million from a year earlier. The official unemployment rate is 7.7 percent, a number that obscures the reality that millions of Americans who have given up looking for work aren’t counted, and that the labor force participation rate of 63.6 percent measured in December 2012, is the lowest in 32 years. The national debt is $16.7 trillion and growing. White House tours have been cancelled due to sequestration. And amidst it all, Barack Obama and his family have taken four lavish vacations in three months.Every president...

Obama Declares April 1 ‘Fiscal Responsibility Day’ April 1st, 2013 Scott Ott Obama signs National Fiscal Responsibility Day declarationPresident Obama declares April 1 ‘National Fiscal Responsibility Day’, as the infants and toddlers of Wall Street bankers crawl around his desk just out of the camera’s view. In a White House ceremony this morning, surrounded by young children of Wall Street bankers, and of staffers at the Federal Reserve, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, President Barack Obama signed an executive order designating today as ‘National Fiscal Responsibility Day.’ The president said the declaration would both “recognize the Herculean efforts of members...

Snip: But something remarkable has happened with these occupants of the White House: Neither President Obama nor first lady Michelle appear to give a damn about perception. They won the White House and, by God, they’re going to enjoy their time there, no matter the cost. And who cares what you think, anyway? How else to explain the nonstop vacations the pair keep taking during what Mr. Obama calls the “worst financial crisis since the Great Depression”? In 2013, the First Family has already enjoyed three vacations — that’s one a month. (Sorry, Joe America, you might have to forget...

Michelle Obama as fashion royalty? There's a stamp for that. After Britain's Sunday Times Style magazine ranked the FLOTUS at the top of its Best Dressed List (Kate Middleton, who?), they promoted their issue by releasing an ad created by the Grey London agency featuring Michelle Obama wearing a crown on a British first-class postage stamp, a space traditionally reserved for the Queen of England's profile. According to the style mag, the first lady achieved the top honor “for understanding that, as her primary role as first lady is visual, fashion can be a force for good used to inspire...

<p>First Lady Michelle Obama has played the role of Felix to her husband’s Oscar during their entire 20-year partnership, President Obama revealed.</p> <p>“I had this little bachelor apartment that Michelle refused to stay in because she thought it was a little, uh . . . you know, pizza boxes everywhere,” President Obama says in April’s Vogue.</p>

Michelle Obama is the latest victim of a group of hackers targeting celebrities. This time, they even hacked the organization that's after them -- Robert Mueller, the Director of the FBI! Read more: http://www.tmz.com/videos/0_ntu8q9o0/#ixzz2NWbXvTsM I do not know if this is true as I've not seen it anywhere else but TMZ so I am putting this in chat. They are, however, often the first to break a story such as the pictures of Harry's Vegas vacation and Tiger getting in trouble with the wife. They also claim to research the truth to their stories and in the vid, the one...

It was probably a mistake, planning our #AskFLOTUS live event on the 6 month anniversary of the start of Benghazigate. Twitchy is all a twitter. Some of the haters aren’t pulling any punches, I see: Here’s one of the more respectful ones: To make them big and schtrong, S. M., that’s why. Sheeze! Where’s all this hate coming from? Moms who are still mad that their kiddies’ class trips to Washington “during the popular Spring vacation season” were cancelled? Or do you suppose they’re actually coming from journalists who are still mad at being shut out of the annual Gridiron...

The question isn't what has the president done that's right. The question is what hasn't he done wrong? His obsession with Jew-haters is astonishing. Evocative of history's most monstrous .....dictators. "Michelle Obama and John Kerry to Honor Anti-Semite and 9/11 Fan" Samuel Tadros (thanks to Armaros) On Friday March 8, Michelle Obama will join John Kerry at a special ceremony at the State Department to present ten women the Secretary of State’s International Women of Courage Award.

I caught this story being posted, and asked for permission to blog it – it’s pretty harrowing: J.R. Salzman @jrsalzman I've had veterans tell me a very similar story: Kids forced to go hungry for hours during Michelle Obama media event http://dailycaller.com/2013/03/04/lets-starve-kids-forced-to-go-hungry-for-hours-during-michelle-obama-media-event/ … 5:12 PM - 04 Mar 13 J.R.

After considering whether to tell the story, J.R. relented: J.R. Salzman @jrsalzman In light of Michelle Obama using hungry school kids as props, let me tell...
