Michelle Obama's behavior is very strange. It almost seems she is trying to throw her daughters under the bus (in a very public way) in order to distract from the fact that she herself has a less than perfect body. Let's face it - Michelle Obama's summer shorts could be used as a pup tent.

Why she is doing this is just bizzare.

You’re probably right. I think fat ass has self esteem issues.

The one good thing I have been able to say about this person is that she has done a good job of keeping her kids out of the spotlight.

No more--and what an awful way to use them!

About the only thing the Obamas have ever done right is make very pretty children.

Those poor kids probably have no idea their mother is evil shrew.

The girls are adorable. The mother, not so much...

I don't have a problem with what she said. Her goal was to explain how small changes in diet can have big, positive results. She was also making the point that her kids were "growing" and she had not noticed it until the doctor called her attention to it.

I don't have a problem with her comments--she's talking to the parents who have O-word (I don't want to offend the obese) kids.

The wookie is just big boned, not fat.

I hope Michelle realizes the difference between kids getting fat, and their bodies preparing to go through puberty.

I know with my own kids, I knew when a growth spurt was about to happen when they would gain weight, and poof before I knew it they were an inch taller & much slimmer.

BMI is a terrible measure of anything.

I am no fan of Michelle 0bama, but wow - what is the problem here?

She just stated that while she thought her girls were healthy and eating properly, testing showed that there were imbalances, so she made adjustments. That’s a good message for ANYONE - many of us may think we’re just fine, but it’s a good idea to get checked out to see if we may have issues.

As far as bringing up her daughters and their possible weight issues, I guess she just meant to show that even when kids health is being monitored regularly, there can still be problems.

I WISH that’s as hurtful as my mom ever got with comments!

There are thousands of things to go after this family about, but this isn’t one of them.

The next time you are out at the mall or Walmart, take a look at who is really, really fat.

Then get back to me and report... so the post can be deleted by the Fat Police--

"I thought my kids were perfect -- they are and always will be -- but he [the doctor] warned that he was concerned that something was getting off balance."

I think the doctor was referring to the kids having deranged parents. Michelle personalized it in a way that she was most closely connected with.

Did Michelle Obama Send the Wrong Message With Obesity Comments?

I don't know. Does anyone listen to her?

IT HAS IT'S OWN ZIP CODE!!

LOL! Has she looked in the mirror and checked out that basketball in the back of her drawers lately?

Gawd....those poor kids. Between ‘mommy’ saying her kids were ‘fat’.....to ‘daddy’ saying he doesn’t want his kids ‘punished with a baby’ (kids are punishment for a romp). Unbelievable. *shakes head*
