(CNSNNews.com) - The former home congressional district of President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama ranks dead last in the United States for “healthy behavior,” according to the Gallup-Healthways Well-Being Index released this month.

Out of 436 districts measured by the Well-Being Index—including the 435 U.S. Congressional Districts plus the District of Columbia—the 1st Congressional District of Illinois ranked 436th for the “healthy behavior” of its residents in 2010. That was down from the district’s ranking of 408th for “healthy behavior” in 2009, which was Mrs.Obama’s first year as first lady.

Every one of the Gallup-Healthways top ten Congressional Districts for “healthy behavior” was in California. That state’s 46th District, represented by Rep. Dana Rohrabacher (R.), was ranked No. 1, and its 14th District, represented by Rep. Anna Eshoo (D.), ranked No. 2.

Those heavily dependent on the government and entitlements are usually dead last in everything.

The list is politically flawed. Washington State came in #12. Which isn’t too bad.

But when you look at the list of top cities. Seattle-Tacoma came in #4.

And 4 of the top 10 small cities are also from Washington State.

Combined this should put Washington State somewhere in the top 5.

Where on the list of unhealthy behaviors is “electing Democrats”? Is that a cause of, or a symptom of, many of the other unhealthy behaviors?

Looking at the bright side, if you are on the bottom, there is only one way to go.

Looks like MiShelly's "initiative" is going to be dispersing some of our tax money:

HealthierUS schools must also have a local school wellness policy as mandated by Congress. We believe that the HUSSC initiative complements the priorities and requirements in this notice, as well as helps schools meet the goals established by First Lady Michelle Obama’s ‘‘Let’s Move!’’ initiative focused on improving school food.

Estimated Range of Awards: $100,000–$750,000.

Estimated Average Size of Awards: $479,000.

Estimated Number of Awards: 77.

It is rather sad to think of their lovely daughters having to listen to “Yo mama is SOOO fat!” jokes for the rest of their lives. But hey, life can suck even for the (undeservedly) rich and famous hypocrites among us.
