Whether she's turning heads with her latest fashions, being mom in chief to her two young daughters, or even training a very playful puppy, by all measures, first lady Michelle Obama has had a busy first year in the White House
"We've gotten a lot done," she told a group of print reporters last week, listing moments like her work with military families and her youth mentoring program, as being part of the year's accomplishments.
But the issue she has become the most passionate about is ending childhood obesity.
"The statistics never fail to take my breath away," the first lady said Wednesday, while addressing the U.S. Conference of Mayors in Washington. "Right now, nearly one-third of children in America are overweight or obese -- one in three. And one-third of all children today will eventually suffer from diabetes -- in the African-American and Latino communities, it goes up to almost half."

“Pretty amazing selection in the week of Scott Brown and Haiti relief efforts.”
My thoughts exactly. They also probably could have considered Bernanke or Obama (considering the amount of bad press he’s gotten this past week).
Laugh it up, Fuzzball!!!
Will somebody get this giant walking carpet out of my way?
Maybe her hubby’s disastrous economic policies will singlehandedly reduce childhood obesity, since no one will have food....
Did they also name Air America as Radio Network of the Week?
“like her work with military families “

Obama Hates The Military...hates them with a passion!
Posted by Norman E. Hooben - March 5, 2009
Obama hates the military. Or haven’t you noticed? All you Obama lovers better get your observation skills honed. To begin with, Obama is a student of Saul Alinsky (and if you don’t know that by now, you’re either deaf, dumb, and blind or plain damn stupid) and all Alinsky students lie...all the time! (Don’t tell me you already forgot the Clintons!) What was it? Back in September, Obama denied and criticised The Surge in Iraq as if it was the worse military decision of all time (also listen to Biden’s words). What did he do just the other day? He praised The Surge as the greatest accomplishment of the Iraq war...speaking at the Marine Base in North Carolina trying to earn favor from the troops (see video here ) ...also note the sullen look on the faces of the troops...nobody trusts this guy. Further, Did you see Obama going through the reception line at his so-called first address to the nation? Happy as a pig in mud, shaking hands and smiling with all his communist friends...until, that is, when he got to the high ranking military officers. Did you see that sudden change in demeanor? Half-a-smile or none at all...not even a hand shake. Then once past the officers...repeat the pig in mud line here! Oh, and before I forget. The recent stimulus pork-package...pork, pork, for all the dorks but cut the military by ten percent. I guess you Obama crazies would call that, “love of the people in uniform” (another Alinsky-ism).
And now comes one of the biggest military-hate stories coming out of the White House. Do you remember that saying, “All the time we are denying with our lips what we are doing with our hands....” ? Well that’s a clear definition of Obama. Now with his praising of the military and military veterans he wants to lessen their health benefits and increase the fees for medical services (something that was always free to veterans until Clinton came along). Here’s the story:
Vets Object To Billing Private Insurance For Service Injuries
From CNN
WASHINGTON (CNN) — Veterans groups are warning President Barack Obama against going ahead with a possible administration move to charge veterans’ private health care for service-related injuries.

Ditto. Maybe ABC is trying to pretend like the election in Massachusettes just didn’t happen.
Huh? 
Remember how much flak this New Yorker magazine cover got when it was first published?:
Funny how prescient it now seems.
Bingo!
Like she cares about anyone else’s children...might not even care about her own. They do make good props.
Most women will clobber me, but she’s one wife who should just stay home and bake cookies.
Maybe she doesn’t know how. LOL
All pretense aside Michelle Obama is a physically ugly, awkwardly-looking woman who wears shower-curtains and tablecloths for dresses. She is a mean-spirited,conceited, racist and foul-mouthed piece of ghetto trash and I’m SICK and DAMNED Tired of the MSM and Euroweenies trying to make this wretched b!tch into something she’s not!
