Michelle Obama has taken a lot of flack from the wing-nuts lately. Michelle Malkin, Sarah Palin, and Michele Bachmann are ganging up on the First Lady because of her efforts to end childhood obesity. Kids who are breast fed are less likely to be obese and Obama wants hospitals and work places to facilitate breast feeding. The IRS recently made breast pumps tax deductible but the ramble on the right can't even put children's health before politics.
However, two Republicans said they stood behind Mrs. Obama’s “Let’s Move” campaign despite crazy conservative charges of "nanny state" leveled by Bachmann, Malkin, and Palin.
Mr. Huckabee, a former fatty said that that obesity is a problem threatening the welfare of the entire country. “What Michelle Obama is proposing is not that the government tells you that you can’t eat dessert,” Mr. Huckabee said. Rather, the first lady wants Americans “to recognize that we have a serious obesity crisis–which we do,” Mr. Huckabee said.
This month Mr. Limbaugh, king of the fat asses, said Mrs. Obama is “requiring what everybody can and can’t eat. She’s demanding that everybody basically eat cardboard and tofu. No calories, no fat, no nothing.”
Mr. Christie, the New Jersey governor, said criticism of the first lady’s campaign is “unnecessary.” “I think it’s a really good goal to encourage kids to eat better,” said who has spoken about his own girth.
“I struggled with my weight for 30 years,” Mr. Christie said Sunday. “If a kid can avoid that… more power to them and I think the first lady is speaking out well.”
