Bless Mrs. Obama's soul, but honestly, do you know what her idea of helping people is? Forcing them to eat healthier.
I'm sorry, but you can't tell someone, no matter how obese they are, that they can't eat what they want to eat. She believes the only way people can be saved is if government intervenes and feeds them instead of letting them feed themselves. First off, the government can't do anything. How many times has Barack Obama promised to close Gitmo? Will the new Tea Party people actually bring change into congress?
The correct answer to both of these is no.
Government is a beast that trips itself up. It can get nothing done, and therefore it hampers America and the American people because these people up there think they know what is best for us.
News alert: They don't know s*** about contemporary society. I mean, look at Obama, he's f*** rich. I don't think he knows the people any better than he knows the crags of the bottom of his left foot.
And Mrs. Obama? She's doing nothing more than acting like Hillary back during Clinton's presidency. Hey, Michelle: 1) You aren't the president, no one f*** elected you, get off your soapbox. 2) You can tell anyone what to do. If someone wants to kill himself eating Twinkies, well, let him do it. Let me tell you, it'll kill off all those who aren't fit enough. This fatty foods killing people stuff is just an extension of Darwin's theory of evolution and adaptation. Those who eat well and take care of their body shall survive, and those who shovel waste into their body shall die.
That's my two cents.

Ya done with yer anti-government rant that has for 90% nothing to do with this campaign, so we can get to the issue at hand? First off, and this is the short bit, cause I wanna get this out of the way first, first ladies are given an activity to do to promote their husband's presidency, it's practically a tradition. Barbara Bush had activities around teaching kids to read, for example. Betty Ford... Let's not get into that one. Anyway, on to the central subject, this isn't a campaign to force people to stop eating unhealthy, unless you've failed to notice that the campaign addressed school lunch programs, an increase in P.E. and making healthy food an option for the poor. Even the first post has these three headlines neatly pointed out, in case Barbara's campaign didn't reach you as well as expected. Is this putting a tax on snacks? Outright banning them from stores? I fail to see how there is any "force" involved in changing the school menu to something healthy. Ya don't wanna eat it? Ask your mom to pack you some slices of bread with a fried egg on em. In conclusion, what the Tea Party is doing is politics 101 in America(and a lot of other countries, in slightly altered scenarios), claim something your opponent is doing is intruding into your privacy, or that it's socialist. Heck, toss in a plot so the guys with the tin foil hats can jump on it and make sure this s*** never dies.

Everybody calls each other socialists, nazis, etc. these days - from the tea party to the super-liberals. It's pretty much lost its meaning.

All the news stations are liberal sludge except fox news but that's conservative sludge if you want to know what's really going on, read a bunch of political blogs or something

... You must be a real moron if you think that there's any show out there that's NOT sludge. Besides, the point is showing just how easily the link to nazism/communism/whatever is laid in the media and politics.

Oh, I know everything is inherently biased, that's why I actually take into account who created the message and what their political agenda is. http://www.moderateindependent.com/
