When is he going to quit smoking?

Somewhere in a desk drawer, Obama has an outline of his grand plan. Somewhere on page 17 there is the paragraph about “getting rid of the useless eaters”. Tell your parents — their time is growing short.

[Reagan69]

Is he going to pay for gym memberships for all ?

[wombtotomb]

:0 shuedenfrade(sp?). How many fast food restaurant chains and their employees supported Obama? Most of them. Now he will regulate the heck out of them, and discourage the populace from eating at them. Soda companies? same thing, look at how pepsi changed its logo to mimic the Obama logo. Now, don’t drink it, and penalize those who do.

I like veggies. Now, if I could afford them.

Wasn’t the whole 70’s leftest movement based in part on stopping excerise in schools by the state as it was creating a generation of warriors in shape for the industrial/military complex the left hates?

[DonaldC]

“Any health care reform plan that Obama signs is almost certain to call for nutrition counseling, obesity screenings and wellness programs at workplaces and community centers. He wants more time in the school day for physical fitness, more nutritious school lunches and more bike paths, walking paths and grocery stores in underserved areas.”

Oh yea, I can see how this can destroy society alright. Many employers are pushing many of these things at the urging of their insurance companies. Get a grip folks.

Did I read yesterday that the 0bamanation is taking over the tobacco industry? Food industry beware: you’re next.

[svcw]

Well, since he wants us to cut risky behavior, is the federal government going to stop subsidizing tobacco and tell homosexuals to stop anal (fake) sex acts?

Large bag of Doritos: Buy one @ $2.50, get one free.

Green peppers: $2.49 each.

Bottom of the article..."Still, Obama needs to strike a balance between fashioning himself an advocate of clean living and coming across as a public scold or a killjoy."

Every liberal I know is a scold and knows best how I should live my life, from the type of car I drive to the food I eat. It's a hallmark of the species, wanting to control every aspect of other peoples' lives.

[Inwoodian]

Why does he or anyone else not dear to me care if I am healthy. I know. Health care costs. But, if I listen to these coercive Utopians, I will live longer in my eighties or nineties thus requiring more aged care. I say let’s mount a campaign to outlaw homosexual sex acts. We know that is dangerous.

[paul51]

pretty soon the gov’t will be telling us to make sure the seat is down (and of course, charge us for the service)

[Longdriver]

First they came for the smokers and noone spoke out.

Now they’re coming for the fatties.

[isthisnickcool]

Just like Him He wants us to all have a no pork diet......

[Beagle8U]

“He wants more time in the school day for physical fitness, more nutritious school lunches and more bike paths, walking paths and grocery stores in underserved areas.”

Grocery stores in the ghetto? Who gets to pay for the billions they lose to shoplifters every year?

There is a freaking reason they aren't there!

[TonyInOhio]

Maybe he should start with the angry shrew he married:

[SengirV]

Hmm, he smokes and his wife is gaining a lb a day. Lead by example BO.
