No, Michelle, obesity isn't the biggest problem of the NAACP's children

While Michelle Obama is busy scamming the all too willing-to-be-scammed NAACP that the greatest threat to our children is...obesity, so the government - not the parents - must encourage our children to move and eat more vegetables. She, and the increasingly irrelevant NAACP, are deliberately ignoring the greatest threat to children and adults--violence.

And most embarrassingly, black on black violence. Apparently Bill Cosby, whose comedic character, Fat Albert, could have explained it all to them was surprisingly not available. Fat Albert, who wouldn't have bothered with such non distractions as the Tea Party but rather would have stressed the importance of parents--emphasis on the plural--and other positive strategies. No wonder he wasn't invited to speak but Michelle, with her message that ever expansive government can solve your victim status, was.

Meanwhile, Saturday, in the ravaged neighborhood less than two miles from the Obamas' mob favorably mortgaged home, desperate residents held another in a series of stop the violence marches and parades led by Obamas' pal, Chicago's mayor, Richard Daley. The result? A few hours later, a 62 year old policeman, on the verge of retiring, was shot to death in a robbery/carjacking as he was working on his car in his uniform in front of his home after returning home from his shift. ..guarding Mayor Daley's home. The mayor pushed through Chicago's strict gun ban that was ruled unconstitutional last month but Chicago has one of the highest per capita rate of murders by guns in the nation.

The murder of a policeman, the third within a few months, overshadowed other gun violence within several miles of Mrs. Obama's neighborhood the past two days;a week end sampling.

Man slain in West Side garage.
15-year old shot .
5 shot - 1 criticially - in Lawndale
Man shot to death while sitting in car.

ad nauseum.

Last week a teen aged boy was shot at least seven times after pleading for his life. His dying words were "Tell my mom that I love her."

And the First Lady thinks obesity is a bigger problem?

[cranked]

No disresepect, but if the First Lady is thinking that getting America involved with her as it relates to weight gain/reduction issues, at least they could do such a program WITHOUT making it another crisis, you think? =.=

This last weekend was the Indianapolis Black Expo, a race-based exposition on health, employment and just about anything else “black”.

The week before, Reverand Al was here to bag on the Indy police for giving a “tune up” to a youth who attacked a cop. Overstated marches and everything.

So, this weeked, 10 people were shot during the Saturday night “festivities” at the Black Expo. The rabble-rousers could not be found on the streets that night. Some things are just too dangerous, and all.

I’m beginning to wonder whether this anti-obesity blitz is just an Obama attempt to get Americans used to not having enough to eat - because that’s what coming down the pike.

Black folks better open their eyes and see the obamas for what they are- hypocritcal elitists

Imagine a first lady, during an economic depression and with black-on-black crime victims exceeding war losses - making “obesity” her signature issue

pulling faux veggies out of her staged garden in her $500 sneakers, jogging around gyms in her kitten heels

Michelle is probably watching how her bubby is stuffing his face at all times. And he _is_ black, you know. Well, at least somewhat black.

[econjack]

I remember seeing a televised debate years ago between Orin hatch and Jesse Jackson on gun control; Orin against it, Jesse for it. As expected, Jesse was pontificating about the success of gun control in Britain...blah...blah...blah. Then Orin jumped in and said: Jesse, if you remove the deaths caused by Black males between the ages of 18 and 30, the US would have a lower crime rate than Britain. For the first time...ever!...Jesse had nothing to say. It was a thing of beauty...

“Imagine a first lady, during an economic depression and with black-on-black crime victims exceeding war losses - making “obesity” her signature issue.”

Maybe she should lead by example. I think she could shed a few tons off her back end.

...deliberately ignoring the greatest threat to children and adults—violence.

Sorry, but that’s just a symptom. The biggest threat is illegitimacy brought on by a cultivated dependence on government.

[Reagan69]

Why doesn’t she concentrate on getting her disgusting husband to STOP SMOKING instead of OUR children?

Government’s obesity is the most serious threat we face today.

[conservativeharleyguy]

"...the First Lady thinks..."

That's a baseless assumption.

[raybbr]

Frankly, obesity is a crisis in the U.S. I find it incomprehensible that so many can't see it.

That said, I don't want that tyrant's wife anywhere near me or my children.

EVERYBODY, SOMEBODY, ANYBODY, NOBODY

This is a story about four people named Everybody, Somebody, Anybody, and Nobody. There was an important job to be done and Everybody was sure that Somebody would do it. Anybody could have done it, but Nobody did it. Somebody got angry about this, because it was Everybody's job. Everybody thought Anybody could do it, but Nobody realized that Everybody wouldn't do it. It ended up that Everybody blamed Somebody when Nobody did what Anybody could have done.

Or are you waiting for Somebody Else to do what Everybody should?

Our children should stop smoking too.

But,seriously, with an ass her size, where does she get off telling the rest of us how to eat?

Oh, please. Thirty percent of the population could live for two weeks on the energy they have "stored". This is about giving Michelle face time in the news. The uppity beyotch needs something to do so the the jug eared moron doesn't completely overshadow her.

[patriot08]

Oh, yeah! The Marxist/Muslim and company is setting a fine example to America!!

God, what a disgusting ugly face.

You can tell he thinks he's cute. Looks like the village idiot.

How much of that hamburger is he trying to stuff in his face?

Look at the size of that spoonful of food- and dripping. Pig. Seen pics of Big Mo eating the same way. No manners at all.

Look at 'ol 'James Brown' Voodoo mother-in-law over there stuffing her face!

Talking with his lying mouth full

Maybe Big Mo should start with herself.

How about Obama's Surgeon General:

Or family friend Orca:

'We gonna need a bigger umbrella'

What a stain on American history these people are.

Hmmm...I thought the writer would have said education along with the selfish, greedy, self-important, left-wing teacher's unions.

While black-on-black violence is a dreadful plague, I believe that 50 years of under-education and low expectations have done FAR worse to more individuals in the AA community.
