Michelle Obama pledges not to slow down, despite the fact her second and final term as first lady is winding down. She made the comments in an interview with an Italian publication touting her Let's Move health initiative.

The publication asked, "You just celebrated the fifth anniversary of your initiative “Let’s Move!” What are the best results you have achieved and the next goals?"

"Through Let’s Move! we have started a new conversation about how we eat and live in the U.S., and the results we’ve seen are beyond anything we could ever have imagined. 1.6 million kids are now attending healthier daycare centers where fruits and vegetables have replaced cookies and juice, and more than 30 million kids are eating healthier school breakfasts and lunches. Two million kids now have a Let’s Move! salad bar in their school, and nearly nine million kids attend Let’s Move! Active Schools where they get 60 minutes of physical activity a day," said Obama.

“...the horses are on the track.”

[Blue Jays]

She has likely developed quite an affinity for customized luxury Boeing 747 air travel. Even for local "date night" flights.
You can bet she is going to find countless reasons why she and the girls must take Air Force One to assorted places while her husband stays home with his special friends.

Just think of all the mouths that money could have feed, renovation to public housing and Schools that could have taken place and programs to support Inner City Kids in South side Chicago if Chebacca and Granny Robinson stayed put just one year out of eight!

[Adder]

As Rick Steves says...”Keep on travelin...”

Greedy slob....Queen Gibsmedat.

[SJSAMPLE]

Or international vacations.

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

Fine. Don’t slow down. Just shut up.

[Uversabound]

She is an embarrassment.

[Uversabound]

Compare to Wonderful Laura Bush...xo

And, sad to know, that when she and obozo are once again private citizens, the media will still fawn over her and she will still lecture us.

She also will be on every Glamour mag cover ad infinitum.

Every day of her life she will still wake up as an angry black lady with a big ass.

[econjack]

Let’s Move!

I think that's dumb-speak for more elaborate vacations at taxpayer expense.

[MrEdd]

They can erase stretch marks now.

[Ann Archy]

“Me aand my girls will be travelling all over the world having a ball.....and you whitey Tax Payer will like it!!!

[EvilCapitalist]

I think you mean Bill and Hillary. They were the one’s who stole White House furniture.

[ETL]

Here our elegant First Lady is seen during earlier stretches...

[EvilCapitalist]

And muslims. Don’t forget to sweep the White House for muslims.

[KirbDog]

Every day of her life she will still wake up as an angry black lady with a big ass.

And we have a winner. Gotta tell you this made me chuckle.

[ETL]

These two don’t seriously believe in religion. ANY religion. They attended Jeremiah Wright’s Black Liberation Theology “church” for over 20 years. Liberation Theology is a communist-concocted bogus church movement.

[Georgia Girl 2]

Lets move! She means she’s going to vacay her way through as many luxury destinations as possible before they pry her fingers from around the door jamb of the White hut and throw her and her the velvet art out the back door.

[onedoug]

Seems like a threat.
