UPCOMING GUIDANCE FOR FIRST LADY MICHELLE OBAMA

Thursday, September 15 11:45 AM - First Lady Michelle Obama will make a major Let's Move! announcement related to providing healthier choices and greater variety for families in restaurants - a critical piece of ending the epidemic of childhood obesity in a generation. One of every two dollars spent on food is spent in restaurants, and over one-third of calories consumed in America are eaten at restaurants. The Childhood Obesity Task Force Report specifically calls on restaurants to, "consider their portion sizes, improve children's menus, and make healthy options the default choice whenever possible." This event will be held in Hyattsville, MD and space is limited.

My apologizes to The Beatles.

Moochelle, my cowbell.

These are the thighs that stick together, oh so well.

My Moochelle.

[DoughtyOne]

Screw this bitch. What I decide to take home or eat on location is none of her fricken business. Her and her husband couldn’t scrape together enough brain cells between them to power one average size anteater.

[waus]

I apologize in advance.

Moochelle returns to the White House with the remnants of her bikini waxing in tow.

[khnyny]

Wow. What an intelligent argument. /s

[LibsRJerks]

Why can’t she take up a REAL cause, like kicking out illegal immigrants, or asking more Americans to stop asking for handouts and get off welfare??

[Ken H]

Oh, this is easy ... Cut my serving; and I'll go somewhere else to eat next time.

That's why we need federal regulations on this - so people won't undercut Ms Obama's healthy eating crusade by having choices.

(do I really need a "/s" tag?)

[South40]

lol! Good comments both.

[BradyLS]

Smaller portions, huh?

They don’t super-size that stuff unless you tell ‘em!

[MasterGunner01]

Looks like Moochie is the poster girl for liposuction with a vacuum pump driven by a 1,500 hp motor.

[manapua]

How about Moochelle REDUCE THE SIZE OF HER ASS? The nerve of that fatty.

[stilloftyhenight]

reduce portion size? Perhaps she needs to reduce HER portion size.

[Gritty]

Listen, we fly this nag and her fat butt and 300 of any friends she wants to the finest 5 star hotels anywhere in the world, anytime, and they get to eat and drink what they want and then we pick up the tab.

Can't she just leave us alone and in peace to eat a humble meal we've saved up for and pay for ourselves?

Is that too much to ask?

[presently no screen name]

What an intelligent argument.

How obvious a statement because that's what you are looking for - an argument. And I gave you common sense and that seems to irk you.

[1] What is this, “caloric justice”?

[2] Somebody steal the Wookie’s food shovel?

Psychological projection or projection bias is a psychological defense mechanism where a person subconsciously denies his or her own attributes, thoughts, and emotions, which are then ascribed to the outside world, usually to other people. Thus, projection involves imagining or projecting the belief that others originate those feelings.

Projection reduces anxiety by allowing the expression of the unwanted unconscious impulses or desires without letting the conscious mind recognize them.

Observing the liberal's mindset for the past 40 years, I'd have to say that psychological projection is a cornerstone of the "insanity" that we on FR ascribe to them. Its why liberals think we need to be more closely controlled or looked after by a governing body - because they themselves need looking after. They just can't admit it.

Peas!
Peas for industry, peas for the dead!
Let them eat PEAS!

I doubt anyone could say it any better than you did.Thanks.

This, out of the mouth of this same woman who, while viewing the folding of the flag at the 9/11 Ceremony recently, was seen on youtube mouthing the words “all this for a flag” and shaking her head in disapproval to obozo, who was standing next to her and grinning in agreement.

This disgusting, despicable woman is to be ignored.

MO’s such trailer trash.
