POLITICO: Michelle Obama touts health law
Politico ^ | March 23, 2011 | AMIE PARNES

Michelle Obama on Wednesday weighed in on the one-year anniversary of the health care law her husband signed into law, arguing that the changes will help parents raise a generation of “happy and healthy kids.”

Sharing a “personal” story in an op-ed on Yahoo’s Shine website, Obama said that as a working mom in her pre-White House days, she had “the best intentions” to feed her daughters Malia and Sasha healthy food on a budget, but admitted that “sometimes pizza or the drive-thru were inevitable.”

How does she think 0bamacare is going to get people who consider fast food to be a staple to eat any better? She is nuts if she really believes that.

"Obama said that as a working mom in her pre-White House days,"

I guess that is referring to her 350K a year "no-show" hospital job she got by virtue of being married to a Senator.

"Obama said that as a working mom in her pre-White House days, she had “the best intentions” to feed her daughters Malia and Sasha healthy food on a budget..."

As if they were just poor, inner-city, working-class folks. Hypocrisy knows no bounds!

Isn’t that racist?

Maybe she thinks if she keeps talking about health and eating right no one will notice her huge double wide and thighs. Does she ever shut her pie hole?

What the HELL does the health care fiasco of 2010 have to do with what a mother feeds her kids? Ah, yes, I remember. Because this is just the first step, and sooner than later, the government WILL control what we feed our families.

Moochelle toots. That is all. Ask her to put Mother Robinson on a diet. She is going to cost the taxpayers money.

Hospice chute for her.

Winny Mandella and Chewbacca mated, and Michelle Obamma is the offspring.

noting that the law requires insurance companies to cover preventative services like BMI screenings “without any kind of deductible, co-pay or co-insurance.”

She urges parents to ask for a BMI screening to catch any obesity problems early on: “today, most of you can get your child’s BMI screened without paying a penny out of pocket.”

Because you sure can't do something like measure your kid's height and weight without a trained medical professional doing it for you. And how many times do you (or especially your kids) go to your family doctor without getting your weight measured anyway? This sounds more like a scam for the doctor to add an extra $50 for a "BMI screening" instead of just writing your height and weight on your chart.

>>> a generation of “happy and healthy kids.”

Judged by the Obama girls (the 2 daughters plus the misus) standard?
