Michelle Obama Drops In On Fox

.

Michelle meets the Huckabilly Kid.

Michelle Obama and Fox News are sort of going to break bread this weekend. That’s because former Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee has wooed the obesity-fighting first lady onto his weekend show to talk about food, fat, and kids.

Huckabee, who famously lost over 100 pounds and wrote about it in Quit Digging Your Grave With a Knife and Fork: A 12-Step Program to End Bad Habits and Begin a Healthy Lifestyle, tells our Suzi Parker that he agrees with the first lady that childhood obesity is a major threat to kids.

“It is not a left/right, liberal/conservative, Democrat/Republican issue. This is an issue that falls beyond what I call the ‘horizontal’ issues of left and right and rises to the ‘vertical’ level of up or down,” Huckabee says.

Give Republicans a few days and they’ll find a way to blame obesity on Obama and his socialist agenda.  A week later a CBS/Washington Post poll will indicate that 58% of Americans believe President Obama’s policies encourages kids to eat more.   Sarah Palin will earn another $100 grand giving a speech in which she insists that Obama has personally attacked Trig’s baby fat and demands an apology. Limbaugh will yell out some nonsense about f***ing fat kids and Glenn Beck will point out on his chalkboard how the words ‘Obama’ and ‘overweight’ suspiciously both begin with the letter ‘o’.

Remember you read it here first.

    I hope Mrs. Obama brings her English to Teabag Dictionary or a certified translator

    If it’s for our kids then everything is open. I would go in any lion’s den if it can save kids gulping McDonald,Burger King,Taco Bell garbage they ingest with such passion.

    Children obesity will put an accelerated strain on our health system on top of those smoking,taking drugs and drinking barges.

  4. BORICUA says:

    Children obesity leads to adult obesity, which is a huge problem in this soceity. Obama believes that you have to start from the bottom and built. So he is doing same with this issue. Obesity in adults is the cause of many many illnesses that raise the cost of healthcare. So healthcare and obesity are intermingled.

    Martha F. Trulson from the Department of Nutrition, Harvard School of Public Health, Boston, Massachusetts

    “A characteristic of the American dietary that has persisted throughout years has been its abundance. Animal protein, animal fat, and total calories have been high on a per capita basis when compared to many other countries of the world. At any period of time, high fat and moderate fat intakes can be found in groups of the population. It is doubtful that segments of this population would be or have been eating diets low in fat for any period of time.”

    So no longer do we eat improperly but in great quantities.

    I’m waiting for the president to start a morning with an exercise class with the rest of America on TV. He he. His own reality show.
    “Swing with Obama” would be a great title.

    That secret family bunker of Palin’s is the one they didn’t pay taxes on.
