Official Who Met With Michelle Obama at WH Indicted for Stealing School Lunch Funds
Washington Free Beacon ^ | August 8, 2017 | by Elizabeth Harrington

A Los Angeles food services director who was invited to the White House by former First Lady Michelle Obama to share his tips for getting kids to eat healthy has been indicted for stealing $65,000 in public funds.

David Binkle, a chef who served as the director of food services for Los Angeles Unified School District until he was fired in 2015, was charged last week with multiple counts of embezzlement, misappropriation of public funds, conflict of interest, forgery, and perjury.

In 2014, Binkle traveled to the White House for a nutrition roundtable with Mrs. Obama. Binkle bragged that he had replaced chicken nuggets with edamame in L.A. schools. He posted as a guest blogger on Mrs. Obama's Let's Move website, and thanked the former first lady for pushing uniform standards in school cafeterias that cut sodium and mandated whole grains.

THAT’S who Libturds remind me of. The 5th grader who grabs a 2nd grader and holds him in a headlock until he gets his lunch money.

Relax. Stealing the white kid’s lunch money is a cultural thing...

Wait a minute. There was genius in the plans by this embezzler and Michelle Obama:

a) if he steals the money
b) there’s less money to buy food with
c) kids get less food
d) kids eat less food
e) kids get free diet program
f) kids lose weight

See? It all makes sense!! It’s a fitness program!!

“Binkle bragged that he had replaced chicken nuggets with edamame in L.A. schools...”

Edamame is loaded with lectins that will kill your thyroid and turn boys into girls.

Ya know, I realize that Mooch and her husband likely met with dozens of people a day....

...but so do I. And, I'd need to think hard to come up with a handful who've received so much as a speeding ticket. Never mind a felony indictment, which seems to be a rite of passage for the swamp dwellers in DC.

Nasty, awful cretins, all of them. Toss 'em out.

What a stupid criminal. $65,000 is chump change, especially in Southern California. Rule #1 of the Rules of Successful Criminal Conduct: Make it Worth Your While. If you’re going to steal some money, make sure there’s lots of zeroes involved. Apply the Jethro Bodine theory. “Uncle Jed, them naughts don’t mean nothin’ by themselves, but you put some after a number and they add up to a whole bunch!”

So go big or stay home; steal millions. Be a government consultant. Or a banker looking for a bailout.

Is Binkle a Son of Obama?
