Michelle Obama is today launching a campaign to tackle childhood obesity in America  while admitting that she loves unhealthy food. 
The First Lady has urged children to become more active, but confesses to eating burgers, fries, ice-cream and cake. 
The Lets Move initiative, outlined by President Barack Obamas wife today, aims to teach youngsters how to increase their daily physical exercise. 
It also pushes for schools to offer more healthy meals and calls on food companies to label nutritional information more accurately. 
Some of her initiatives, such as tax breaks for grocery stores to move into poorly served communities, will require congressional action. 
I would move heaven and earth to give my kids all the chance in the world for them to be at the top of their game in every way, shape and form, Mrs Obama said. 
I love burgers and fries. And I love ice cream and cake. And so do most kids.

    "So we pulled up to this diner, where people told us that we could get some good pie. And I like pie. Do you like pie too? So, we go in there, and we say, "Oh, what kind of pie you got?' And they didn't have sweet potato pie, they didn't have pumpkin pie. They had some cream pies mostly, which is OK with me. So, I got some coconut cream pie. And Governor Strickland, he got lemon meringue pie."

    Michelle is an idiot....so is her husband........Obama spent $950,000 to hide their pasts......why?
 Because Obama is is a fraud and a liar............
 Sarah and John gave up everything...financial records and health records, Obama did nothing.....I just hope the paintings in the White House that Obama moved are still available for view........when he is thrown out..........

    We were listening to Rush this afternoon on the way home from choir practice. During the top of the hour news break, they announced that Michelle had started her obesity campaign. My eight year old said, “she NEEDS to!”

    I really think we should leave Michelle Obama alone. 
 It really must be tough to be married to a homo and I say let's give her a pass. Unless she does something dumb like decide to tell us how to eat. If she does that then the gloves are off.

    Fast food? Burgers and fries? Isn’t that what the dumb redneck hicks, who cling to their guns and bibles, eat? Obama just lost some of his base.

    I’ll second you on that. Best burger I’ve had was from them.

    I'm counting down to see how fast this "harmless", feel good campaign to end childhood obesity morphs into a big government plan to slap hefty taxes on so called junk foods and soft drinks along with other nanny state restrictions on what we eat. At a minimum, it's another platform to push for socialized medicine under the Trojan horse of children's health.
 These idiots don't do anything without a reason and big government is in their DNA. Remember the best way to get people to agree to something they never would normally is too claim, IT'S FOR THE CHILLLDRRENNN!

    She should spend more time fighting presidential and parental stupidity. Her family suffers from both.
