This has been in the works for awhile.

Detroit has no national grocery stores for the reasons you mention. The bed is made and they are lying in it.

“So that means if a mom wanted to buy a head of lettuce to make a salad in this community, or have some fresh fruit for their kids’ lunch, that means she would have to get on a bus, navigate public transportation with the big bags of groceries, probably more than one time a week, or, worse I am confused... I thought going GREEN on public transportation was part of the solution to the hoax called global warming .Now I am told by Mrs.Barack Hussein Obama Jr, that kids cannot get a salad becuase they have to take a bus?

” Why not just airdrop apples every where?? “

Wasn’t there a story during Clinton’s Kosovo Fiasco, where the Air Force ‘bombed’ a village with frozen chickens, causing property damage and even a few injuries on the ground??

(Or is my caffiene-starved brain making things up again??)

How about the “character deserts”, the “ambition deserts”, and the “Traditional American culture deserts”?

Address those and you solve most, if not all, the symptoms she’s trying to make an issue of.

The president says you're rejecting "science and reason," most likely because you are in "fear."

LOL. In the ghetto. “Kids! I’m going to prepare a fresh salad now. First let me take off my pearls after doing all that vacuuming.”

“Food deserts” exist in areas where crime has driven out (legal) business.”

Exactly. Is she going to provide the armed security guards too?

Not falling for the “shut up and get in line” attitude
or the standard leftist “proof by condescension” approach.

We don't need a 500 million dollar government program. Thomas Sowell could inform her for a lot less.

From an article of Dr Sowell's located at http://www.jewishworldreview.com/cols/sowell082606.php3

"Many of the same black "leaders" who accuse local store owners of making exorbitant profits also complain that supermarkets seldom locate in ghetto neighborhoods. Do they think supermarkets are against making money, if ghettos are so profitable?"

The cost of doing business in these neighberhoods is to high to settle their or remain.

Yeah, well that’s the agreed on color-coding. Lying communists (who are actually REDS) get colored blue by the lying communist media. (When did this start? Was it Walter The Communist Cronkite who came up with that color scheme?)

Another thought....WALKING for a mile to get to the store would be FAR healthier for all concerned. Oh...I forgot....that’s common sense.

WHERE do these people get their food anyway? Would that be the fast food places....where it’s already prepared?......and now Ms. Obama is asking them to buy and prepare their meals? Good luck with that....

My guess is that a lot of low-income people buy their food at Wal-mart, which sells plenty of fresh fruit and veggies. Now, if they CHOOSE not to purchase fruits and vegetables and/or they eat too much....what will Michelle Obama want to do then (at taxpayer expense of course)?
