Don't you know she knows how the common man feels-HOLD YOUR BREATH.

I hope her efforts help. Today's kids ARE FAT - WAY TOO FAT.

Get off the couch and outside to play should be the motto instead of computer games.

Sometimes it is best to say nothing at all...

Your life must be very unhappy for you to think President OBama and family will be a joke in 5 years. What makes you happy, President Bush? You are the joke.

President Bush was not mentioned in Carl-1604554's reply. You Bush bashers are the ones who need to get a life. If this babe is so sharp why does she need 29 people working for her personally at an annual cost of $3 MIL, taxpayer dollars. Hillary did her first lady job with 2. Is she that more industrious or just trying to find a way of not being a joke in 5 years?

Gray Fox, I'm not bashing Dubya when I remind you that most of the Bushisms we speak of today ARE jokes - "Is our children learning?" *raised eyebrows. As for the personal staff, there is plenty of evidence (available online, for FREE) that First Ladies have had both more and less than Michelle Obama. Finally, none of this has anything to do with the work she's trying to achieve by placing focus on childhood obesity. Anymore than Dubya's poor grammatical skills had anything to do with Laura's work toward improving literacy in this country.

Carl - won't take five years. Look at the progress they have made in one year. I just hope our country can hold out.

Good thing we're thinking about the Children's health on here....

somebody pass me a Diet Coke, I'm feeling too healthy right now.

It took people like you , Carl.........what more then eight years to see what a joke Bush is!!?

I so agree with Norm, they will get nothing done except to destroy our country. She's too busy getting herself taken care of to really think of anyone else. It's all show and no go. The only thing she can do is hire more people to take care of her and he'll get a few more czars to help kill our freedom. Wish this term was over!! the so called budget is a joke, we will be in debt to the world, mostly China, and never see our way out! Everyone has to see through all this insanity. Hope things chance in Nov. God help us!!! if it doesn't. !!!!!

You need to check your facts before posting. According to snopes.com Laura Bush has between 24 and 26 staff . Lady Bird Johnson 30, Betty Ford about the same number. So the amount Michelle Obama has in not out of line at all.

So stop. I respect that you realize what your doing. I also think your being a bit hard on yourself, as the kids need to take responsibility as well.

Kids are resiliant - think back to when you were a kid and the stupid/dangerous things you did. Sure you may have broken an arm or something, but you bounce back. They are kids- they are suppose to go play and get hurt. Just like kids need to fail - and not get trophies for just playing a game.

We are raising a generation of coddled sissies. We need to stop. Children need to learn how it feels to fail - thats how you learn. If you never fail or get hurt etc, you never learn. Kids need that lesson - we all do.

You go "BoBo the Clown"! I like what you are saying.

So sad ! Whether you agree or disagree with the President, we must show respect. I guess it goes back to no home training

Your Hate is frightening.

how would you know what she is interested in and how women dress in the ghetto?

OMG.......Why do I read and contribute to your Ghettoness!!

i completely agree with you. biggest problem our country has right now is the lack of responsibility - for ourselves, our children, our lives. government is not the answer - only personal respect and responsibility is. we don't need the government whether it be the democrats, republicans or independents telling us or showing us how to live our daily personal lives. we need less government involvement - not more.

You are correct! I hope that "Change" Obama is talking about doesn't mean we have to change the way we raise our children.

Do you spend 24/7 with you children? What makes you think those organizations aren't involved in your children's development? If you think not, you might ask your kids.

So she is employing 26 people? Great!

I agree with you Pauline, Mrs. Obama is a fantastic role model for this country and our children. Those who criticize her have their facts wrong, obviously they really haven't paid attention to solid evidence but rather to gossip that has absolutely no place in this serious issue. Maybe they need to ask their kids how they feel about being obese, having high blood pressure, Type 2 diabetes and other serious health problems at age 13! Of course its entirely possible, they don't have children and really don't care about anyone else's problems but their own!

President and Mrs. Obama are great role models of what family life and good health are all about. Good choices of healthy food, walking the dog with the kids, white house garden, playing basket ball, using the gymn are all good examples. I congratulate them both for being examples of what my parents were. We had disapline, lots of love, someone to answer any questions we had truthfully, schools that provided healthy meals paid for by our parents who furnished great health meals at home. Recess periods at school provided new friends, a great relief of stress and the gymn classes provided great strong bodies at all ages.

The same thing that Laura Bush's 26 assistants did!

Stop showing your ignorance.

the most other frist ladies had was 7, read !

I agree with B. Thompson. People need to respect our President and asisst him with the awesome task he has at trying to bring our country back. Anyone who has travelled abroad will tell you how much America's image has improved. All the whiners know how to do is whine. Where are the suggestions for how to get insurance to the people who have lost everything due to lack of insurance. I thought I had good insurance until I was in an automobile accident (not my fault) .. $80,000+ for a broken arm and a damaged knee. Get going America ... get involved.

Karen. With healthcare reform you probably would not have your arm fixed yet.

Apparently she hasn't looked into what he is proposing.

OH---CRAP. They don't care about this country.

Well said Diane!

They are a great team and I am thrilled they are in the White House!

Martha,

If they didn't care, they wouldn't be where they are -- In The White House!! But I digress..

What planet are you from? You seem to have forgotten that every First Lady has had a pet project. Guess the Obama's predecessors didn't care about this country either......

Superb, Well done!!! Now do you mind sharing your valuable information and skills to some who aren't quite the SUPER MOM you are? After all your super healthy kids will benefit greatly by having lower health care costs, taxes when they raise their families if the nation is healthier as a whole!
