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.
Can this veggie be Raaaaacist?
Sure, so can redskins.
Potatoes are full of vitamins. Perhaps it’s the vitamins missy prez doesn’t want the public school children to have. Maybe vitamins are only for private school children. That’s what it looks like to me.
Good grief. Without white potatoes my family would be hungry. We go through a 20 lb bag each week. It is a very inexpensive way to fill up our six children with a natural and non-processed food. None of our kids are fat.
Never seen Al Sharpton in shorts before.
White Potatoes, THAT IS RACIST!!!!
I may have to conduct a Kale experiment using that method. I guess you roast at the usual 350F. I’ll try to resist throwing sesame seed oil on it right away. Maybe I won’t need to.
The tranny got a woody.
Thanks for the reply.
As far as I am concerned, kale is a weed.

Find a good cook from the south (who is not in your family). If they were made well in your household, you’d never have made the statement above.
Get their recipe for greens.
Make them at Thanksgiving.
Your tune will change.
I would have completely agreed with you 2 short years ago, but did what I have written above. They are now a staple.
Nope.
I am in the south.
I know how to cook greens.
I like collards.
I despise kale.
In my family we could easily have potatoes three meals a day. There’s something wrong with that?
That is very clever.

Do you mean to tell me that the tranny ‘wife’ of the-queer-in-charge would not support other members of the party that got the-queer-in-charge elected because of a supposed refusal to support his/her/it’s plan to control the diet of every schoolkid in America??????
Dear michael/Michelle/Mooch, aw poor baby!
I did read somewhere that you have to make sure the kale is perfectly dry, so we washed it and cut it the night before and left the pieces to dry. Of course, you could cut it after it’s dry. The recipe we used said to just spritz it with olive oil because too much would make it wet and it wouldn’t cook right.
It was very easy and as you said, 350 degrees. You do have to watch it because it’s so thin that it could go from crispy to burned quickly. We loved it and ate it like we would chips, just kept going back for more!

That was my question...were these potatoes, Red Skins?
That means that their parents are talking about it at home. I don’t think black moms care too much for the Mooch.
