The Obamas to eat what they grow
The Obama family plan to eat what they grow in the White House in the future
US First Lady Michelle Obama is set to break the ground for an organic garden on a patch of the south lawn to grow produce for the White House kitchen.
Local primary school pupils will help her with the planting and harvesting of the vegetables, herbs and salad crops.
Promoting healthy eating for American families has become a part of the first lady's agenda.
She has promised her whole family will be getting involved, and even President Barack Obama will help with weeding. Mrs Obama hopes that inspiring children will help spread the healthy eating message to others.
"My hope is that through children, they will begin to educate their families and that will, in turn, begin to educate our communities," she said in an interview in her East Wing office.

A) I don’t believe for a minute that she will actually ***work*** in that garden. She didn’t even have sense enough to put on some gloves today.
B) She ***might*** have the WH staff take her kiddies out to show them how much fun it is to garden.
C) After all that work from the WH staff, she will probably make a big show of serving some nice veggies from the garden for a photo op.
D) Is she going to put 55 gallon drums under the WH downspouts so she can water it? This is *organic* so we don’t want any of that nasty chlorine on our little plants now do we?
E) Give me a break...... HE’S going to work it????? When the hell is Obama going to find time (he’s working so freaking much now that he doesn’t have time to welcome the British PM, remember?) to WEED that stupid thing?
On the home front, I now have all my seeds and am chomping at the bit to get started!
Had all the markings of a DOT work crew maintaining the roads.
Lose your property for growing food?
Big Brother legislation could mean prosecution

Better that O be out in the garden digging in the dirt, than thinking up new ways to ruin our country.
That’s all we need, a bunch of hoe-ers running around the Whitehouse grounds.
I couldn't agree more. However, we all know he won't.
The Clampetts were 100X more classy than this trashy pair.
All they need is a film crew and the 'new' Green Acres could be reenacted. Oh and of course they need a 'pig' called Arnold. I sure hope they keep us apprised of their gardening show.
Wouldn’t it be funny if some pot seeds got in the garden!
You forgot bars on the windows!
LOL. Now that you got me thinkin', our steak is only $6.99/lb as well and my little ones are in publik skool. ;^)
Thank you
