President Goody-Goody is beginning to get on my nerves

Clinton left America in dire straights.

Bush knows that the economy is teetering and his cheerleading in every direction is heroic.

[South Dakota]

Where is the gag alert?

[twntaipan]

Absolutely right! The pervert we had in office prior to W is why we had an Enron and now Worldcom. His lack of character is the same lack of character found at those two disgraced companies. The only question is how many more CEOs and CFOs are as corrupt as Clintoon--probably quite a few.

[11th Earl of Mar]

For maybe the first time ever, I disagree with Kathleen Parker.

I see nothing wrong with President Bush encouraging excercize and better eating.

Since taxpayers subsidize the heathcare for 40 percent of the nation, I would hope somebody would be telling them to stop eating Cheetos and get their fat ass off the sofa and take a walk. How much more fat can we afford?

[Valin]

Cheetos are one part of the 4 major food groups.
1 the salty group
2 the sugar group
3 the caffine group
4 the alcohol group.

Remember a balanced diet requires something from the 4 major food groups every day.

[M. T. Cicero II]

Actually, your group #3 is incorrectly labeled. It is the "ine" group, which includes nicotine. This is why coffee and cigarettes go together so very well!

Seriously, I thank God about 3 times a week that Mr. Bush is president. He may not be perfect, but the alternative...

[perez24]

You left out the pizza group, which when made correctly, transcends both the salty and sugar groups in much the same way that kettle corn does.

Chicken Cordon Blues

When I first met you baby, you fed me on chicken and wine. It was steak and potatoes and lobster and babe I sure felt fine.
But now all you ever give me is seaweed and alfalfa sprouts And sunflower seeds and I got my doubts -
Babe, you left me here with the Chicken Cordon Bleus. My stomach's so empty and all I got is food for thought. And I been sittin' here thinkin' 'bout the twenty lbs. of groceries we bought.
We bought ten lbs. of brown rice and five more of beans And five pounds of Granola and you know what that means, I'm just a regular fella with the Chicken Cordon Bleus.

Now won't you play me them fat licks!

You know, I'm starved for affection and babe, I can take no more.
You know this stuff is so weird that the cockroaches moved next door.
Babe, can you see that old dog, he's out in the street He's got a big smile on his face 'cause they let him meat.
And babe I got the lemon and the Chicken Cordon Bleus!

Babe, I'm goin down to the bakery
And I'm going to find me a jelly roll
And some cannoli.
Some French pastry.
A chocolate éclair don't sound too bad.
How about some lasagna ?
You know fat is where it's at.
My shadow disappears ...

pizza? did some say pizza!

Cold pizza warm beer the breakfast of champions!

[NMC EXP]

Since taxpayers subsidize the heathcare for 40 percent of the nation

So far so good.

I would hope somebody would be telling them to stop eating Cheetos and get their fat ass off the sofa and take a walk.

I hope more people would: (1) tell the state to stop robbing me in order to pay the bills of other citizens. (2) tell the state to mind it's own damn business.

How much more fat can we afford?

How much more big government taxation and intrusiveness can we stand?

I simply suggest that we not accept the statist/collectivist premise that we are responsible for welfare of not only fellow US citizens but the whole damn planet with our "voluntary" contributions to the fedgov.

President Goody-Goody

[TatieBug]

Isn't it wonderful to have such a fit President? What a change in soooo many regards.

[tdadams]

What is this woman's problem. I don't think she can blame her inner Tourette's. I think she's just a b----.

Maybe she thinks we should all be somber and downtrodden until Osama bin Laden is captured or killed. So Bush is encouraging America to get fit. That's something to complain about?

She thinks Republicans are now Nanny State enthusiasts? Newsflash for Ms. Parker. There's a big difference between encouraging a behavior and mandating a behavior. There is a major political party that, fascist-like, seeks to mandate behavior, but it's not the Republican party.

[Amelia]

Is anyone else old enough to remember John F. Kennedy's Presidential Fitness program? There was some sort of component where if children completed a certain amount of exercises (run a distance in a certain amount of time, do pullups, pushups, ect.) one could get a Presidential certificate...you had to do all this stuff in gym class.

Yeah, I know JFK was a Dem. He was in many ways more conservative than today's Dem's, but that's a different argument.

I don't see a problem with the president encouraging fitness...I'd see a problem with mandating it.

Clinton left America in dire straights

Clinton wasn't King Rat, just Perfect Exemplar Rat. By that, I mean to say, it wasn't that he wielded power, or made power, just that he was the perfect example of a rat who figured out a wonderful way to get control of the storehouse, where as Mr. Perfect Exemplar Rat, he and his horde of pale imitators have been taken residence and gotten fat.

Now here in these dry, hungry and mangy days, the people -- the humans, the dogs, the cats, the cattle -- have come a'knocking on the doors of the storehouses, and a first found the doors sealed shut, glued by a concoction of rat spit, urine, droppings and decaying material. And moreover backed a two vicious little queenie rats named Hill and Janet. Well, we busted down those storehouse doors, only to find the piles of grain ruined with droppings and such and many a sly or lazy rat hidden here and there. Further even more slyer and wily rats have created dens and warrens right off and under the storehouse and its the devil to seek them out. They have a network of storedens in that warren.

And those rats know we is tired, wane and need to eat.

But it wasn't Perfect Exemplar Rat Clinton who left America in dire straights. It was the men and women, cats, and dogs who failed to check on the storehouses in any ways reasonable. It was the cattle who so fat from the field grain didn't groan and waste for lack of of the storehouse grain, causing a general consensus to check it.

[hobbes1]

Can it be long before we make overweight, unfit Americans equally unattractive and morally reprehensible?

If they're not already, they should be!

[Badray]

" I hope more people would: (1) tell the state to stop robbing me in order to pay the bills of other citizens. (2) tell the state to mind it's own damn business."

Exactly. Do we really need the POTUS giving health and fitness lectures?

[AppyPappy]

Four major food groups: Grease, Gas, Sugar and Salt.

[AppyPappy]

I would rather him lecture than charge me ala the Democrats. He can blabber all he wants.
