What’s it like inside the Obama White House? A lot like what you’d guess from outside the Obama White House.
In “Revival: The Struggle for Survival Inside Obama’s White House,” MSNBC analyst Richard Wolffe, a writer sympathetic to the president, reports the prosaic backroom details of the White House struggles from early this year, but occasionally stumbles upon an off-the-cuff revelation that’s much more interesting.
One staffer was conspicuously overweight. The president, in an incident that Wolffe believes proves how caring the man is, took it upon himself to present the aide with a salad for lunch — “then listened to him protest that he could take care of his own health. ‘I love you, man,’ Obama said. ‘I want you to look after yourself. Eat the salad.’ ”
I love you, man. Eat the salad. That is the Obama presidency in a plastic see-through clamshell. (Hold the ranch dressing!) The president loves us. He knows what’s best for us. We should bow to his superior wisdom.
Jimmy Carter obsessed over the White House tennis court schedule. President Obama wants to be your life coach, guidance counselor and spouse, kicking your shins under the dinner table when you order chocolate cake instead of steamed celery.
The president has to deal with transnational terrorism, arms control, unemployment, the deficit, health care and limiting damage from the Joe Biden Gaffe-u-tron. Add in the possibility of North Korea throwing a nuclear tantrum, and it seems unlikely that Obama is going to have time to follow me into Wendy’s. Yet there he is, pushing for all restaurant chains to post calorie counts, as already required in New York. Like much of liberalism, this little nudge isn’t a terrible idea, but it does impose a cost on business with little apparent benefit

My thoughts on this are a bit different.
IMO offering his friend a salad for lunch was the only thing he did that day, that he was totally competent to do.
The elbow in the mouth is from above. God doesn't like Self righteous narcissistic bastards who steal other peoples money.
I think Americans are sick of this guy. They’re sick of his superior wisdom, hubris and arrogance all wrapped up in a President. People have seen through his rhetoric. Obummer is the Emperor With No Clothes.
I think we’re inside his head. Now we start wrecking the furniture.
The election didn’t humble him. I don’t think anything will bring this guy down to earth.

Too true goldstategop,
I’m soooo tired of turning on ANY channel on the boob tube and having this sanctimonious marxist punk there.
All from an assclown who was what, “a community organizer”, A do nothing one term senator?
In reality we wouldn’t listen to this moron regardless the subject.
Besides, he has a poor track record of decision making, just look at the shelf ass wookie he married.
Inside our White House the idiot waits for time and instructions for next media show.
OBummer is a major part of the reason I got rid of my tv and cable and bought a computer. Now he appears on my screen when I WANT him to. Try it.
“What a delight Obama must be to be around daily, telling everyone how to live.”
And, just think: when 0’s not around, they could run into Mooch-elle with her constant “eat your spinach,” lib-nanny, Nurse Ratchet attitude.
What a pair. And to think that millions think they are people to look up to.
‘I love you, man,’ Obama said. ‘I want you to look after yourself. Eat the salad.’ How ‘bout you put out your smoke? Your second hand smoke is killing me a lot faster than a cheeseburger.
“Obama thinks he’s God.”
If you’re a liberal, then you’ve got no other god but Obama.
With the statist nannies already dictating what kind of light bulbs you can buy and possibly how to coat the roof of your house, it’s only a matter of time before a federal food force is created to check on people’s food habits. First they’ll check to make sure your kids are eating “correctly.” Then they’ll check everybody. It’s for your own good don’t you know. (smirk)
Already exists...”they” are policing the people’s diets...DC Public Schools..who have decided its easier to feed food than knowledge.

I’d like to see Obama try that salad trick with Michelle.
Pending legislation on Food Safety regulations will allow the gov to control every aspect of the food industry including what and how much each individual buys.
