Honestly, if Princess Delts can get the chubby urchins in America off their pampered asses, I’m all for it.

First, the buff first arms. Then the First Lady’s White House playground. Then the First Lady’s White House victory garden. Then the First Lady’s patronage of farmer’s markets for things that grow in the filthy ground or hang on trees where birds perch and do things.

It’s a given that too many Americans are obese. They don’t exercise enough. The good news is their flabby thighs are hidden by their drooping stomachs.

Now, today First Lady Michelle Obama had a Healthy Kids Fair on the sunny White House South Lawn. Will this healthy stuff ever stop with these people?

Yes, of course, it’s a political show. Playing with kids at a scheduled time that allows TV studio editors to process the video in time for the afternoon/evening newscasts is part of American public life now, regardless of party. (Think the Bushes’ adorable T-ball games at the White House).

But M.O.’s enthusiasm is almost contagious, making some American adults at least contemplate getting up out of their La-Z-Boys to move their enlarged bodies slightly. And not just toward the fridge.

I would gladly trade three more years of watching the First Lady hula-hoop for her husband doing his contortionist act, pulling facts out of his you-know-what to pitch his latest scheme from Used Car Salesman school.

He would do the nation far more service if he used his bully pulpit to spread the message about getting kids away from the TV.

    I think you forget the Victory garden is toxic and Obama has banned the the word “victory.” I do hope those children were not fed the fruits of Hillary Clinton’s lawn sledge as exercise may speed up the toxins much like a snakebite. Could that be why M.O. constantly wears her ammo/suicide belt?
    – Did M.O. pass out food stamps that count as double for the farmer’s market as a consolation prize for Tuscan kale? Mmm mmm mmm.
