While the organic garden will provide food for the first family’s meals and formal dinners, its most important role, Mrs. Obama said, will be to educate children about healthful, locally grown fruit and vegetables at time when obesity has become a national concern.

ROFL - So now the USDA standard for ORGANIC lets you take a pesticide ridden, herbicide laden, commercially fertilized piece of ground and it becomes 'pure' because Mrs. Øbama so declares it so.

While I applaud the encouragement of people to grow their own food, why should they pervert the Organic principles.

Well, I guess maybe they are planning a huge compost pile to utilize all the BS in DC. Somebody please tell them though that the spillover from all that putrid pork barrel garbage will contaminate their compost.

I wonder if the US Air Force will be tasked with collecting 'global mulch' from all over the world to support their universalized project. Hey NASA, we need some of that moon dust here... Can you also bring back something from Mars for us?

OK, maybe I am being a bit cynical this morning... But when the President goes on a nightly talk show and equates his bowling score to an equivalent Special Olympics one, I remain a skeptic of their genuine sincerity.

Is it just me, or do others also lack confidence in their motivations?

Oh boy, here I was calling for them to plant a garden a week or so ago, and when they do, I don’t cut them any slack...

I really wish them well with their garden - May their arugula and artichokes prosper.

I hope that millions follow the example and start growing their own!

You missed the truth, he told the truth and no one caught it.

If I am right, Special Olympics is for folks who have problems, mental and physical?

If so that is the class that he belongs in, for he sure as hell has a lot of problems, the communism has eaten his soul and without the soul, well even making it to a special Olympics is difficult, for some of them do not have a speech tele- prompter and can speak their few words, from their souls.

I have no confidence in any of their actions, only fear.
