Michelle Obama Won’t Campaign For Democrats Because She’s Mad Over Letter About Potatoes
The Daily Caller ^ | 10-6-14 | Eric Owens

Posted on 10/06/2014 10:43:12 AM PDT by afraidfortherepublic

First lady Michelle Obama believes that Democrats running for Congress eagerly desire her presence on the campaign trail during the run-up to the 2014 midterm elections. However, she has avoided helping some Senate Democrats because she’s mad at them for failing to show adequate support for her deeply unpopular attempt to change people’s diets.

The Daily Caller is not making this up. The New York Times has reported it.

The first lady has expressed frustration with Senate Democrats because they didn’t do enough to fight Republican attempts to weaken the “Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act,” explains the Times. The 2010 law is a complex body of meal regulations implemented by the Department of Agriculture that has long been her signature issue.

Michelle Obama was also especially furious after nearly a dozen Democrats from states where potatoes are a commercial crop joined Republican lawmakers in opposing a decision by the Obama administration to ban white potatoes from the list of foods which recipients of Women, Infants and Children (WIC) program assistance can purchase with federal funds.

Obama aides and Democratic operatives downplayed the rift, saying the first lady has other reasons for laying low this election cycle. She wants to spend time with the first daughters, they say. She doesn’t like Washington politics.

An unnamed Democrat strategist also gently alluded to the possibility that Democratic candidates don’t really want the first lady around.

I grew up in The Great Depression and potatoes were an absolute Godsend in those days.

The Irish had raised families on them.

M is an idiot.

Good! Stay mad then. Better yet, just stay home and sulk in your satin covered dinner chair.

Obama and George W ended up in the same barbers shop. The barber kept the chatter down, not wanting to start an acrimonious debate. Finally, Obama's barber finished and asked Obama if he wanted any aftershave. He said, "No. Michelle will think I've been in a whore house.

Soon after, George's barber finished and asked him if he wanted aftershave. "Sure" he said, "Laura doesn't know what the inside of a whore house smells like."

Kale is almost as bitter as rhubarb, and it wilts down to nothing after a boil. If I want greens, I usually choose collards, white cabbage, mustard or turnip greens. Arugula, by the way is equally bitter and unappealing in my opinion.

She sounds thin skinned, a bit ruffled, obviously has a chip on her shoulder.

A little song among the Democrats during their rift might sound a little like this:

Things have come to a ugly pass
Our bellies are growing fat,
For you like this and the other
While I go for this and that,
Goodness knows how big the rear end will be
Biden don't know where he’s at
It looks as if we two will never be one
Something must be done:

You say either and I say either, You say neither and I say neither
Either, either Neither, neither, Let's call the whole thing off.

You like Socialism and I like Freedom, You like tomato and I like tomahto
Potato, potahto, Tomato, tomahto, Let's call the whole thing off

But oh, if we call the whole thing off Then we must part
And oh, if we ever part, then that might break The DNC apart.

So if you like The Occupiers and I like Black Panthers, I say Communism and you say Progressive

Potato, potahto, Tomato, tomahto, Hilary, Adolf, Let's call the whole thing off

I like collard greens and mustard greens are okay.

Other than that, I’m not much of a fan of greens.

As an experienced Photoshopper myself, I can assure you that the image you posted is not “pieced together” or Photoshopped. It is an original image.

Kale is excellent roasted in olive oil, garlic and salt and pepper. I couldn’t believe I liked it.
