Michelle Obama's behavior is very strange. It almost seems she is trying to throw her daughters under the bus (in a very public way) in order to distract from the fact that she herself has a less than perfect body. Let's face it - Michelle Obama's summer shorts could be used as a pup tent.

Why she is doing this is just bizzare.

You’re probably right. I think fat ass has self esteem issues.

The one good thing I have been able to say about this person is that she has done a good job of keeping her kids out of the spotlight.

No more--and what an awful way to use them!

About the only thing the Obamas have ever done right is make very pretty children.

Those poor kids probably have no idea their mother is evil shrew.

The nobamas’ weight problems are diametrically opposed, i.e., his is excess fat between his ears and hers is her gi-normous caboose. leave the children alone.

I don’t know. The older girl definately resembles a much cuter version of Michelle.
The younger one throws me off a bit, though.

The both seem well mannered, however, which is a small miracle consider who their parents are.

I don't have a problem with what she said. Her goal was to explain how small changes in diet can have big, positive results. She was also making the point that her kids were "growing" and she had not noticed it until the doctor called her attention to it.

I don't have a problem with her comments--she's talking to the parents who have O-word (I don't want to offend the obese) kids.

I just feel sorry for them.

They deserved better parents.
