Michelle Obama has new warning on obesity

By: Mike Allen December 13, 2010 08:52 AM EST

First Lady Michelle Obama plans to warn in remarks Monday that the nation is seeing “a groundswell of support” for curbing childhood obesity, and she is unveiling new ammunition from current and retired military leaders.

“[M]ilitary leaders … tell us that when more than one in four young people are unqualified for military service because of their weight,” the first lady says in prepared remarks, “childhood obesity isn’t just a public health threat, it’s not just an economic threat, it’s a national security threat as well."

The first lady and President Barack Obama are making a rare joint speaking appearance on Monday, at Harriet Tubman Elementary School in Northwest D.C.’s Columbia Heights neighborhood, as he signs into law the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010.

From Mrs. Obama’s prepared remarks:

“We can all agree that here in the wealthiest nation on earth, all children should have the basic nutrition they need to learn and grow and pursue their dreams. Because in the end, nothing is more important than the health and well-being of our children…and our hopes for their future should drive every decision we make. These are the basic values that we all share. They’re the values that this bill embodies. And that’s why we’ve seen such a groundswell of support for these efforts – not just from Members of Congress here in Washington, but from folks in every corner of the country.

Does she own a full-length mirror? If so, she should start using it and a treadmill.

But the Military discriminated against 55,790 service members for hwo they are (Overweight /or failing to meet and maintain fitness standards) Not for what they do— (Or in this case didn’t do) maybe Congress should change the law to allow them to serve openly and without discrimination.(At least the
chunky butts are not 44 x as likely to become HIV pos. by what they do)

I’ll be impressed with anything she has to say when she can fit into the same dress as Carla Bruni.

Her lard ass is a national security threat. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a woman in a major public role that is as menacing looking as Moochell Obama. She looks like a gorilla with an Oprah mask on. And her ass looks like is right out of a skit from SNL. What was that called? the “Wides” or something. Geez, she should just stay inside and eat her ice cream and try not to be seen. She’s a national disgrace.

You' be surprised how qualified you are after 8-13 weeks of mandatory diet and exercise (read bootcamp).

Times have certainly changed. For the most part the guys in our boot camp (1968) came out less fit than when they went in. It was the navy.

She thinks her “well-toned” arms are going to make up for that big fat butt of hers.

It’s not working.

Of all the causes she could support she chooses obesity? Talk about the pot calling the kettle black.

That’s true.

It seems to me that if she was really concerned about the health of people in our country that she would’ve talked her husband out of pushing the vile Health Care Plan that will do so much more harm than good.

Willl this shrew EVER stop ragging at us from her bitchy pulpit?

How did we reach this point that a media manufactured "expert" on obesity is waving her ruler at us night and day, preaching, scolding, warning and threatening us with dire consequences in our lives if we don't grovel at her words of wisdom and doomsday.

Get the hook! Get this women out of our lives and kitchens. She's as sick as her faggy husband....and they are presuming TOO MUCH!

AWAY WITH THEM BOTH!

The biggest threat to national security, other that Michelle’s twin basketball sized ass, is her marxist, muslim homo pos narcissist thug husband.

Looks like michelle is worried about fielding an army of fat welfare mommas and SIEU whales. Defibrillators will be issued to obuma’s tubby troops along with sideways-shooting glocks. The battle cry will be “Thar she blows!”
