So, Michelle Obama seems to be as delusional as her husband. Yesterday, she said that childhood obesity (a Crisis!) is a threat to national security. No, really. She actually said that:
(CNSNews.com) At a ceremony at the White House on Tuesday, First Lady Michelle Obama announced the launch of the Lets Move campaign to end childhood obesity in the United States, an epidemic she said is costly and a threat to national security.
A recent study put the health care cost of obesity-related diseases at $147 billion a year, Mrs. Obama said. This epidemic also impacts the nations security, as obesity is now one of the most common disqualifiers for military service.
Fat kids are a threat to national security? I dont think shes really being fair; her husband is not fat. I suppose now instead of man-made disasters, terrorism will be called donut-made disasters? I just gave my kid fried chicken nuggets for lunch. Shall I now refer to her as NSR (national security risk)? Shall I make her new punishment You go to bed with evil, security risky dessert!!
Besides the stupidity of the national security premise, the entire initiative is ridiculous and a waste of OUR money. She goes on to say that we dum-dum parents cant figure out what food is healthy or not, without the aid of Big Nanny Government. Hey, Michelle? Your husband is Big Nanny Government and he still doesnt realize that smoking is bad for you (which, by the way, is the one thing that I like about him.)

Then she should have Brennan write a Donut terrorism letter to USA today declaring all Donut eaters of caving on terrorism and National Security.
"They're killing our kids!!!" Aiiiieeeee!!!!
She’s delusional. She’s in another world.
Probably not. When they do come, they'll be smoking cigars. With thousands of "tobacco sensitives" writhing on the ground and whining like emotionally disturbed weasels, our society will be helpless.
To the Obamas everything’s a “threat to national security” except men with explosives strapped to their Johnsons.
I loved Dunkin Donuts before. Now that they no longer fry their donuts in trans fats they just aren’t as good.
KFC also lost me when they stopped frying their extra crispy chicken in trans fats. Our local VFW in Troy has the best fish fries on Friday night ....I can hear my arteries clogging when I bite into that crunchy crust but they are my arteries so Obama mind your own business.
If by threat to national security she means that fatties can’t get into the military, she is stating the obvious. Allow me to point out that in general the military isn’t a magnet for blacks either. My son’s basic training class in 2006 had 1 black kid of the 200 soldiers. Go into anything that takes grit and there were zero in his Ranger battalion at any rank or level. Guess striving to achieve is just too much to expect of them. Racist? Nope, just observant.
They really need to take a day or two off. Its getting hard to tell Obama NYT articles from The Onion.
So why are we living longer than ever? Even having to listen to RATS whining that the sky is falling doesnt seem to have an adverse effect on life expectancy.
Napolitano is going to investigate doughnut eating cops.
Humph! I have errands to run later- just added a drive-thru Dunkin Donuts to the list.
To Michelle and your Bobblehead husband, we dont need you telling us what we should do with our bodies.. You seeem to be ok with Abortion, and a womans right to choose what to do with her body, yet you want to tell us what not to eat..
Newsflash, we dont care what you think! We care about jobs, economy, national security...
STFU about all this other stuff that you seem to think we care about and do your job and lead this nation in the real issues and not your “train wreck agenda”.
Don’t they regularly eat Wagu beef?
