One in three children in the US are now obese or overweight, a rate that is rising despite efforts from Michelle Obama in the White House down to combat the epidemic.

The above is from the article, and it simply reinforces the knowledge that most journalists are completely ignorant of any sense of reality. The Obamas have only infested the White House for less than 2 years. Even if Michelle Obama really did have the secret, magical cure for childhood obesity, how does this idiot journalist think that her magical cure, short of a fairy wand which dispels all obesity with one wave, could possibly have such an effect in that time? The way the sentence is written, it is as if the author is going out of his way to assure the public that, if there is a problem, it is only despite all of the valiant efforts of the Obamas. There is absolutely no logical reason even to mention Michelle Obama in this context, but the delusional journalist feels compelled to absolve the Obamas anyway. Unbelievable.

Just playing devil’s advocate here, but by that logic, since she can’t fix something as complicated as obesity in two years, should Obama be able to fix the economy?
