Palin's reckless views on obesity (barf alert)
cnn.com ^ | November 24, 2010 | Roland S. Martin

It's clear that we can't go 24 hours without Sarah Palin saying something so stupid that it defies logic, but leave it to the Kim Kardashian of politics to find something wrong with first lady Michelle Obama's effort to curb obesity in America's kids.

In a radio interview on Wednesday with conservative talker Laura Ingraham, Palin took dead aim at the first lady's "Let's Move" initiative, which is all about getting children active and involved in exercise and healthy eating.

There have already been comments from the education establishment how salad bars, particularly in the elementary schools, would be a nightmare to keep free of bacteria.

I guess folks are getting tired of the press lauding MoBama no matter what she does. Where MoBama is concerned, everyday is like a Groundhog Day story of The Emperor’s New Clothes.

Not holding onto that rake very tightly, huh. It might mess up her manicure. Most women put their hair in a ponytail or up under a hat when doing outdoor work, but MO puts on a freshly styled wig. Put that up against Sarah Palin and her girls elbow deep in fish guts and having some quality family time. What a study in contrast.

I grew up eating junk food and eating lots of it. MO and her ilk are liberal elitists who look down on everyone else, and want to control us. Palin is right. Martin is a hyperventilating fool. It seems every time I see or hear him, he is hysterical about something. MO is also a hypocrite. Her husband is too skinny, smokes, and eats junk food. MO is LARGE and has some nerve preaching to everyone else.

To be fair to MO, she is big-boned. If she wants to address obesity, maybe she can address the black community, which seems to make a fetish out of it.

Palin speaks for me as far as fool Martin is concerned.

As one who finds accusations of stupidity to be signs of inferiority, the eristic Martin seems to be the who lacks the advantage of poise, humility, and intellect.

Be defied Martin, be very, very defied.

Michelle’s vegetable garden is no different from the infamous Dazhai Commune in Mao-era China. It was a totally fake Potemkin Village shown to visiting foreigners that operated with assistance from the PLA. After Mao’s death, Deng Xiaoping revealed that Dazhai was a fraud and the guy who ran it was stripped of his party membership.

To be fair to MO, she isn’t big boned...though she is very tall. Her butt has grown proportionately to the days Obama has been in office.

She has some nerve preaching to the Country Class about weight, diet, or anything resembling those subjects.

Being black has nothing to do with it.

Being a tyrannical hypocrite does, however.

I guess that what is wrong is that when an overweight person tells someone else that they should lose weight, it is disingenuous. Our current surgeon general is also overweight and it is a poor example.

Sarah Palin jogging"Let's Move" Michelle

Sarah Palin – Humpy’s Marathon, 2005 (3:59:36)

Sarah Palin is the youngest person and first woman to be elected as Governor of Alaska ... she finished fourth in her age group at the 2005 Humpy’s Marathon with a time of 3 hours 59 minutes 22 seconds—faster than some of the guys in this list in fact. Not bad. --Link.

It is interesting to note that the increase in federal meddling in dietary advice starts... right around when the epidemic of obesity takes off.

In the best case, Michelle´s federal meddling in dietary advice will be harmless, save for a few million of taxpayer´s cash wasted. In the worst case, it will make things a little bit worse by further convincing the overweight of the vegan lie that the key to leanness is eating like a rabbit.

What’s wrong is that this is none of the government’s business. If you like dictators, then by all means, hop a plane to Cuba. Hugo Chevez would also welcome you with open arms.

As far as the military, if they’re fat going on - they won’t stay that way long.

You really are dumb, aren’t you?
