“Physician, heal thyself! “

We must remember that liberals need additional instructions.

Hey, look in the mirror, Ms Nasty.

The Obama creed: “Never let the private sector make economic decisions. The government knows best.”

(Read my tagline.)

Absolutely typical liberalism, actually encouraging people to get less for their money.

Did she ever hear of a doggie bag? Or sharing a meal?

This woman is the height of hypocrisy! Hey Michelle take your own advice you too are obese. Has anyone had the unfortunate experience of seeing this woman from behind? She should be the last person telling anyone what to eat.

Look for restaurants to reduce their portion sizes but not their prices. I’ve no doubt a lot of corporate toadies are looking at this as a gift from Moochelle as a handy way to buck up their food cost.

Positively the most stupid human being to ever occupy the White House. And that includes the servants.

Ummmm .... Michele, those "Doggie Bags" aren't really for the dog.

Mind your own business and mind your own children and we will mind ourselves.

Less freedom = less liberty = less choice, less choice = less chance we imbeciles can screw up.

Typical liberal mindset.

Reduce your size first, Michelda Marcos, then we’ll talk. Actually, just reduce your size.
