Michelle Obama: 'I can't stop eating French fries. But eat your vegetables.'
The Examiner ^ | 6/23/2011 | Byron York

Posted on 06/24/2011 5:32:40 AM PDT by NMEwithin

During her visit to South Africa, First Lady Michelle Obama stopped by the University of Cape Town for an event with young people. She told the audience how she came from modest circumstances and was able to attend top schools and build a career at a big law firm, saying they too can achieve their dreams if they try hard enough. After her speech, she was asked a series of soft questions like, "What advice can you give the youth today?" But at the end of the session, one young person in the audience asked Mrs. Obama, who has devoted much of her time in the White House to promoting nutrition and healthy eating, what her favorite foods are.

"My favorite?" Obama said. "Oh, this is a tough one. "It is tough, you know, because if I say something not healthy, people will be, like, you aren't really committed to health. If I say something healthy, you know -- I do -- honestly, I like all kinds of foods."

Obama mentioned Indian food, and then Mexican food, and then said: "No, if I picked one favorite, favorite food, it's French fries." The audience began to laugh. "Okay? It's French fries," Obama continued. "I can't stop eating them." As the students laughed more, the First Lady quickly returned to her role as advocate of health eating. "But eat your vegetables," she said, to still more laughs. "And exercise."

I wonder if she advised them to associate with the subculture of their country. I wonder if she told them to lie and get elected and then they too can be a party to destroying their country from the inside. I wonder if she told them that soon the USA won’t be an attractive enough country to bother entering illegally. Never mind. It will be decades before we are able to return the USA to it’s former (before Obama) greatness. Lord help us.

I worked in a kitchen of a restaurant for several years and I could not stop eating french fries either especially since they were free(I owned the joint).

I eventually stopped completely when I noticed I had a 42 waist. I started dieting,exercising and got back down to a 34 waist within 3 months(50 lbs).

Even though I still had excess to free french fries at work I learned to avoid them because I developed this trait called DISCIPLINE!!!!!

This is the whole goal of these elitists. I call it “neo-feudalism”.

They’ll make it illegal for the “serfs” to do almost anything,

and exempt themselves as the “special” people that need to run the show.

She’s had a chip on her shoulder her whole life long, and now she has to be the goody-two-shoes facade of the communists. Yuri Bezmenov, defected KGB agent who described their subversion techniques, talked about the difference between when the communists are putting on a front and when they are down to business:

“So the next stage is destabilization. This time subverter does not care about your ideas and the patterns of your consumption. Whether you eat junk food and get fat and flabby doesn’t matter any more. This time, and it takes only from two to five years to destabilize a nation, it’s the, what, what matters is essentials. Economy, foreign relations, defense systems.”

Look at what Obama has been destroying at lightning speed that cannot just be stupidity - economy, foreign relations, defense systems. And the whole while he’s been doing that, Michelle has put on the good little goody-two-shoes front of “Eat your vegetables”.

She can probably stand to do it because she’s thinking all the time that she’s buying her husband more time to annihilate the country she’s hated her entire life, which comes through in the “chip on the shoulder” attitude that is the defining feature of her personality and appearance.

Which is why she rubs a lot of us the wrong way.

At least Marie Antoinette was easy on the eyes.

This Commie Muslim is insufferable.

I still want to know what this brainiac did at that Chicago hospital that was worth over $ 300,000/yr.—evidently it was so unique that after she left, no one was hired to replace her.
