REMARKS BY THE PRESIDENT

AT SIGNING OF MEMORANDUM ON CHILDHOOD OBESITY

Oval Office

9:16 A.M. EST

THE PRESIDENT: Good morning, everybody. I am so proud of the work that the First Lady, along with the Cabinet Secretaries behind me, have done in trying to tackle one of the most urgent health issues that we face in this country, and that is the increase of childhood obesity.

And because of the outstanding planning that they've done, they are going to be rolling out a terrific plan of action that involves the private sector as well as government agencies coordinating much more effectively a lot of public information out there to help parents make good decisions about allowing their children to be active and eating healthier.

And what the executive order I'm going to be signing today does is to create a 90-day plan that allows optimal coordination as we move forward, in addition to the coordination that we're doing with private sector companies and not-for-profits and other organizations out there that are interested in this issue.

So we think that this has enormous promise in improving the health of our children, in giving support to parents to make the kinds of healthy choices that oftentimes are very difficult in this kind of environment. And so I just want to say how proud I am of the First Lady for her outstanding work and I will now sign this order.

Sorry truthkeeper, but that comment is redundant...

A clean desk is a sign of a sick mind.

"Michelle should just butt out."

[RightField]

Is this woman never happy? Even on what should be an enjoyable outing with her family, she is scowling.

[Nonstatist]

That broad has a lot of nerve sticking her fat ass into everybody’s business.

[RightField]

Anyone else notice that 0bama is doing his "give the finger thing" again?
He sure likes to accentuate that middle finger.
Is is meant for the photographer or for Michelle?

[freekitty]

What a nightmare group that is.

Emphasizing obesity among Muslim children, Michelle Obama announces the “Shake Your Bootie” exercise plan.

Meanwhile, in Saudi Arabia, Prince Sheikh Yabootie wonders what all the fuss is about.

[azishot]

So when can we expect to see scales inside all fast food places to *weigh in* to see what you are ALLOWED to order?

[Soothesayer]

All in preparation for rationing child healthcare and killing the “weak ones”.

[paulycy]

Let's Move!

[rhombus]

I’m very much in favor of Michelle Obama moving... moving OUT of the White House.

[truthkeeper]

:-)

It will probably cost us $50 million. She and her entourage will jet around the country, explaining to us (the 300+ million idiots, in their mind) what we should do and be doing. Then they will feel good. Until the kids get up, go to lunch, and buy Doritos and a Coke from the vening machine. haha.

[mlizzy]

To sign an order alluding to caring about children with their weighty issues, is a bit insincere, since they don't even care if children that are conceived are allowed to live. Even a child that somehow squirms out alive in an attempted abortion, is left on some cold table to die without even a blanket around him or a nurse to hold him. These folks have made a pact with the devil I'm afraid, and I'm convinced only prayer will release them from it.

Pray to end abortion
Save Babies (even ones who aren't obese)

[maggief]

LOL!

[mlizzy]

Whoops ... here's the Save Babies link again ...

Save Babies

[digger48]

Since the largest percentage of the obese in this country are black women, why doesn’t she start with them?
