Last week, with little fanfare, among the ever deteriorating oil spill crisis, the White House quietly noted the issuance of an executive order "Establishing the National Prevention, Health Promotion, and Public Health Council", in which the president, citing the “authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America” is now actively engaging in "lifestyle behavior modification" for American citizens that do not exhibit "healthy behavior." At least initially, the 8 main verticals of focus will include: smoking cessation; proper nutrition; appropriate exercise

“”authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America” is now actively engaging in “lifestyle behavior modification””

Just whose Constitution gives him this authority? AND laws? Must be some they’ve passed that we’re not aware of?

Time to send him copies of the US CONSTITUTION, I guess. You’d think he’d have one handy but it doesn’t look like it.

Sounds like more grab over and bend yer ankles to me!

Smiling takes 6.

Hey—we should be encouraging him to keep this up! We’ll see the biggest Republican landslide in history for several elections to come.

[SoCalConstitutionalist]

Go to hell, Barack.

[ErnBatavia]

But did he plug the hole yet?

[bigredkitty1]

F*** YOU, BO!

Like a friend once observed: Eat right, exercise...die anyway.

These socialists need to worry more about where they’re going to spend eternity than about what I’m going to have for supper.

Do as we say, not as we do.

[Bluebird Singing]

Wow! We never thought of any of this ‘til The Won came along.

(b) develop, after obtaining input from relevant stakeholders, a national prevention, health promotion, public health, and integrative health-care strategy that incorporates the most effective and achievable means of improving the health status of Americans and reducing the incidence of preventable illness and disability in the United States, as further described in section 5 of this order;

The last dictator who tried this ended up building a whole bunch of ovens.

He still doesn't know what to do to deal with the oil spill, other than to curse, point fingers, and blame Bush.

If we were to be hit with a major terrorist attack tomorrow, using WMD's, he would not have a clue what to do.

Yet when it comes to the details of our personal lives, habits, and health care, well now, he can get into that. He must enjoy meddling almost as much as he does partying and golfing.

That Kommie beeyatch can suck my greasey pucker. He ain't my president, he ain't even American. I don't take orders from a lying, raging fairy.

Go screw yourself, Bukkaki O'Bunga. And keep your flared nostrils out of my bidness if you have half a functioning brain. Feelin' me yet, pantload?

[Sloth]

You posted exactly what I was going to.

[70times7]

Since we are all warped and maladjusted it is only right. The anointed one will reeducate us. (I just can't wait!!) /s

Was Hitler not a health fanatic..

Yes, a vegan as I recall...
