First of all I believe Michelle Obama is lying there is not a damn doctor in the world who would classify those little girls as Obese. She is an idiot and a terrible mother for doing such a thing.
I suffered from morbid Obesity which means I was over 100 overweight. The fact that Michelle put her daughters on diets concerns me. First of all African American girls Malia's age tend to be a little overweight that is how they delevop. They tend to go through puberty earlier and they tend to be a little overweight. This goes away but you never put a child on a diet. Diets do not work you need to change your lifetime but you do not put children on diet. Get them away from the TV and out running around and into sports as well as eating healthy meals at the dinner table.
I am really offended that she would use those little girls to call attention to childhood obesity. Now all the kids at their schools can call them fat. What kind of a mother does that to her own children?
I think maybe she was talking about an earlier time in the girls life, because Malia is a bean poll and Sasha is only 8 a baby! She may be trying to make a point but I wouldn't use kids like that.

She should have said that because the meanest people in the world are children. Those children have to attend school and I bet that there are going to be several children who make fun of them.
I'd rather hear her giving the kids old clothes away to needy children. I am sure they have pretty little things they are outgrowing.
I agree with you HMG..........they shouldn't be used as examples to tackle the problems of health concerns in politics.
You know, I had one doctor who told husband to eat the egg whites, not the yolks. Ok. Then we saw another Dr. and she said eat the egg yolks they are full of nutrients. Who the hell does one believe? That can be applied to your statement Michelle is lying, and politians do the same.
It's about trust, all the way around and frankly, I've never trusted mrs.obama. I doubt if her children do. I think mr. and mrs. obama are out of touch with reality (I'm putting it kindly).
I agree-- leave those kids alone! I'm sure they already have to take a lot of crap at school because they're the First Daughters. They don't need a bunch of bratty kids in the schoolyard telling them they're fat. Neither one of them ever did look overweight, anyway.
The kids are minors and deserve their privacy. One thing is certain; she is no Jacquie Kennedy - you heard NOTHING about the kids that would compromise their privacy - that was one of the magic of Kennedy White House.
The media has not examined what the FLOTUS Obama has done closely.
The media (including FOX News!) has done a much bigger deal of Scott Brown chiding his grown up girls - comments said in jest have been put under microscope, and blown to larger issues in combination with his own past of centerfold, etc.

The problem is - and Barry has this same problem - that Michelle cannot tell right from wrong. That's why we're always seeing these two do the most outrageous things. They have an extremely faulty moral compass!

To me again MO could have spoken about Obesity and the African American community which is a major problem. I was morbidilly obese toping the scale at 308 LBs. Now I weigh 202 LBs. I have learned to eat right and get moving. I walk at least a mile a day. I also do other excerise especially lots of srenght training.

I heard that when Bill Clinton first took office, Jackie Kennedy had a talk with Hillary and advised her to do whatever she had to do in order to protect Chelsea. Obviously, Hillary listened to her. Surely, Hillary or Laura Bush told Michelle Obama the same thing about protecting her daughters. Too bad MO didn't pay attention.

I remember that and I also know that the media didn't dare pick on Chelsea after Hillary slapped them down. MO said she got advise from HRC but I guess MO will learn this "A hard head leads to a soft behind." I know she knows this ole saying I know she has not only heard it she more then likely used it.

Congratulations! It's extremely difficult to lose weight. I'm working on it now, with a calorie diet. So far, so good! I think I'll have to follow this eating plan for my whole life, as I'm not very good at knowing when to stop eating. My habit was to eat 'til I felt stuffed!

Yes, Alex, I am sticking to my GOYA plan also. Additionally, I have stopped drinking soda; my weakness in that is when we bring pizza and we have that down to diet Sprite 1 bottle for the whole house... so that is capped too. It has helped me loose weight!! Overall, it helps a lot to feel healthier. [Of course, my eye sight being corrected has a lot to do with it, and the vision therapy has begun also.]
While we all fret about our kids' health, I feel that it was unnecessary for FLOTUS MO to bring up her children to make her point. Most people know and can understand the issue.

I was lucky I had an Obesity program that taught me a lot. Its culturally acceptable here to be overweight and obese but seeing your heart covered with all that fat was a real eye opener.
