In an interview with MSN.com, First Lady Michelle Obama explained she used to struggle to feed her kids right—even though she received an education from Harvard and Princeton. “Before coming to the White House, I struggled, as a working parent with a traveling, busy husband, to figure out how to feed my kids healthy, and I didn’t get it right,” she explained, sharing a story about her children’s doctor who pulled her aside to talk about her family diet.

Boo, hoo, hoo, I feel your pain. Too much watermelon, beans and rice, mashed potatoes, steaks, lobsters and chocolate ice cream and anglefood cake.

Amazing revelation considering that she is an eating machine.

Savages living in the Amazon using stone age skills and tools manage to feed their children.

She was rich, and she couldn’t feed her kids?

One of my mother’s tricks when we didn’t have food was to make cornbread and buy a quart of milk, and we would have a glass of corn bread crumbs and milk mixed, of course it wasn’t filling, but her trick was to sit at the table and talk to us, which was a treat since she was a single mom that had to ride the bus to and from work and so was gone until close to bedtime, and then had to do housework and dealing with us three boys baths and such during most of the little time that we saw her.

I think of this when I read about Obama and his PHD mom and rich grandmother, and Bill Clinton with his nurse anesthesiologist mom and car dealer step dad, and now Michelle’s struggles of two lawyers raising kids.

My mother with her 8th grade education and living in Houston, would not take a penny of government money, while the rich liberals moan about not being able to feed their kids properly.

Apparently she can’t practice law right either, courtesy of her Harvard degree...

This is the sentence her Harvard degree made possible:

“as a working parent with a traveling, busy husband, to figure out how to feed my kids healthy,”

Ghetto talk from the First Lady of the formerly great United States of America.

She makes it sound like she was fighting with Hilary for leftover Burger King in the same dumpster.

Their oldest daughter is 15. That means she was born in 1999 or about.

Obama was Senator in 1999.

He couldn’t feed his kid on a Senator’s salary? Give me a break.

“In 2005, Obama took 23 such private aircraft flights, some to attend fund-raisers he headlined. In 2006, Obama led the fight to ban lawmakers from taking cut-rate private air travel.”http://citizenwells.wordpress.com/2008/04/02/november-4-1999-obama-records-obama-not-in-senate-november-4-1999-russert-lynn-sweet-chicago-tribune-truth-about-obama/

He ran for President in 2006, and was getting plenty of money in the way of campaign contributions. I’m sure he was not ‘poor’ then.

Another question - who paid for her Harvard education?

Wow. My children's doctor NEVER needed to do this. And I was a really young mother. Just how dumb is this woman?

Mrs. Great Leader is finally admitting to her tantamount stupidity — showing the world what an educated idiot does when confronted with responsibility. This poor woman... Someone should have suggested a less expensive home and vehicles and then to use that extra money to feed her burdens (oops, I mean her children).

looking at that big ass of hers, she couldn’t feed herself right so how could she feed the little boofers right?

C'mon, man, she was eating for three, doing the best she could...

So a Harvard degree is worthless.

Proves that one of the main points of going to college is to learn about solving problems.

However, this misses the larger point:
MO and I are the same age. Was she not treated to many, many examples of the food pyramid?

Po Thing. Life’s been so hard for you...

Why we did, of course. She was "entitled" to it. Just like her multi-million dollar a day overseas vacations she takes.

Those who can, do. (It's not that hard)
Those who can't went to Harvard and blame republicans for their problems and inadequacies.

No child in the history of the country was properly fed until the crowd in power was able to get government experts to find the right path for the nation.
