My guess is if this Health Care takeover gets passed or deemed passed whatever BS they pull....Barry will issue an executive order making a new Health Care CZAR and Michelle my belle will be comming after your Twinkies,Coca-Colas and whatever other “unhealthy” snacks the gov’t deems you can’t have..It’s for the Good of the State Comrade!! Enjoy your Salty or Sweet snacks while you can people.....
Maybe affirmative action didn't apply to her grades..
It’s none of her damn business, is what it boils down to.
Why? I would say that is becoming more increasingly obvious by the day! She crossed the wrong judge no doubt with her marxist preaching.
You won’t get me to eat the stuff health food nut people eat.. no taste bland flavors...most things look ugly...nope not me...
I’ll have a steak dripping with butter, salt to taste, baked potatoe with sour cream, corn on the cob, and a piece of cheery pie for desert! Nice balanced meal....By the way I still weigh the same weight I did in high school. % foot two @ 112-115.
Wondering if anybody has a picture of Michelle Obama with a sock stuffed in her mouth?
