Obama agenda: Eating it up

“Jay ate the veggies,” the New York Daily News writes. “First Lady Michelle Obama cajoled Jay Leno into nibbling on apples, sweet potato fries and a pizza made with eggplant, green peppers and zucchini on the "Tonight Show," breaking his long-held aversion for all-things-healthy in his diet. Leno once told a magazine he hadn't eaten a vegetable since 1969, and he insisted he tasted his last apple in 1984. That didn't dissuade the First Lady, who's promoting her "Let's Move!" campaign to get kids excited about fitness and healthy eating habits.”

It is healthy to hear about stories like this, and getting Leno to eat anything healthy is just funny. It is good to see the First Lady getting out the message on eating healthy and staying fit.

And her words do that quite well. Put her on camera and it seems a bit of an oxymoron.

    Our resident moonbat Feisty thinks fat jokes are hilarious...she uses her lame wit to make innumerable jokes about Chris Christie, whom she calls "Gov Krispy Kream" ...

    ...so , c'mon, any fat jokes in this story , Feisty? About the size of the chair Michelle sat on, maybe?

    C'mon now...dont tell me you are just a partisan hack! Shocking.

    christie is not fat, he's enormus! as a leader he should be ashamed that he is not losing weight keeping himself healthy? he also has a responsibility, as a leader, and a father and husband, to set a good example for all. after all, obesity, is the number one cause of diabeties and heart diease, to name just a few, which as we know leads to higher medical cost for all of us.

    he should be on the first ladies program before it's to late? after all, leaders are to lead by example!

    Michelle should get her bottom half on her own program.

    They won't let Michelle talk about any of the real issues, because she is even more to the left than Barack. So best to keep her talking about apples and sweet potatoes while Barack eats hamburgers, ice cream and stinks up the White House with butts and meaningless rhetoric.

    You don't get to look as good as Michelle and Barack eating junk food. These people are in shape. If nothing else, they are setting a great example for a country that needs to get of the couch.

      In the meantime, the Attorney General, Eric Holder, is continuing to obstruct justice. Read the letter from Congress to Mr. Holder here:
