WASHINGTON (Reuters) - In the famous White House kitchen garden, tomatoes are rotting on the vine. Herbs have gone to seed. And the sweet potatoes - a favorite of President Barack Obama - have become worm food. It's another impact of the government shutdown, one that only the fox and the many squirrels that live on the White House grounds could love. A foodie blog called Obamafoodarama that obsessively covers the White House "food ephemera" and the administration's food policy has posted photos of the normally immaculate garden looking more like what most gardeners' plots appear at this time of the year - overgrown. "Due to the shutdown, garden maintenance has been reduced considerably and only being watered as needed," a White House official confirmed, speaking on background.

Does anybody else think this first family esp. moochelle is overly obsessed with food?
Well hmmmm guess they are eating canned unhealthy stuff now....lol
Neither POTUS or FLOTUS can do real work. They expect others to do it for them and they show up to claim the credit. They are two disgusting frauds posing as useful human beings. We should deport them to Cuba where they can find their true calling — Fidel Castro and his brother won’t live forever. On second thought, this is a cruel punishment for the long suffering Cubans. Better we ship them to Antarctica for 10 years of winter fun.
thank you, much better!
Article comments are great. Michelle’s Plantation, slavery and all.
lol “” Gardening brings up the sexiness in old people...””
thank you Mrs.smith...can’t wait to inform my hubby in the morning...we didn’t do a garden this year...that is going to be my plea...lol
But we both miss the garden and bet we do one next year..just getting too old, sometimes!!!!
Gardening is RELAXING. What about the “Get Moving” campaign Michelle?
Have these people no shame? Next moochelle will be posting pictures about how she and the kids attempted to shop at the local S-Mart, but their EBT cards were denied because of the "shutdown".
What's next? They actually have to go out themselves and pick up their dog's droppings because there are not enough Majors and Captains to do it for them? Oh, the horror! They don't have enough left on their budget to afford any more Lobster, and are now forced to use only enough Fry Cooks instead of PhD'd Chefs to come up with a five-course setting instead of their normal twelve-course fare!
Shades of 'forced-to-stretch-the-budget'!
I thought this was another satire piece. Sadly, you are correct.
Absolutely. This ranks up there with Park shutdown and the Limo getting stuck in Ireland.
Great point. On the flip side, I’m happy for the squirrels.
The family of Clown Prince nobama are all lazy grifters. I bet the larda** Worst Lady moch-elle hasn’t done an hour of honest hard work in her pathetic FAIL life.
Hawaii?
My neighbor and I share a garden. She can hardly keep her hands off me!
Got fava beans, lettuce, turnips and cabbages (those get her ‘going’ the worst) now.
I’d like to see that. (maybe not)
She really messed up here. Perfect time to show off American spirit and invite some kids that never get to go to the White House or out of town and have a picnic and garden.
I’ll have to read them. I was too much in shock at the article, coming from Yahoo and Reuters no less.
