(bangs head on desk) Obama is a hypocrite because of 6 pies...not the onion

HYPOCRISY? OBAMAS CELEBRATE THANKSGIVING WITH 6 DIFFERENT PIES

Michelle Obama’s obesity crusade might be in full swing throughout the country, but that didn’t stop the First Lady from serving up a meal just as fattening as any readers could hope for.

According to Yahoo News, the President’s family served up a delectable combination of dishes for him and for 10 military service members, a meal whose menu included the following:

• Turkey
• Ham
• Cornbread Stuffing
• Oyster Stuffing
• Greens
• Macaroni and cheese
• Sweet Potatoes
• Mashed Potatoes
• Green Bean Casserole
• Dinner Rolls
Dessert:
• Banana Cream Pie
• Pumpkin Pie
• Apple Pie
• Sweet Potato Pie
• Huckleberry Pie
• Cherry Pie
Hypocritical? Almost certainly. However, with a menu like that, it’s not difficult to see why the President might come in fourth as a preferred celebrity Thanksgiving guest for most Americans. If nothing else, he apparently knows what foods will go over well.

The pies he had make news! The fact that he made the ‘Sign of the Cross’ over a turkey using his LEFT hand and made it BACKWARDS – nothing!

(I called that one on a thread here earlier)

1. Yeah, the point is to not eat like that every damn day of the year.

That's what harvest festivals are for. Doh.

Some people just going to jump on EVERYTHING the Obamas do. I guess to be fair, we did that to Bush.

2. Link here to the story.

Gotta have context, right?

3. Well, had I posted that link

probably would have a jury all up in it, so played it safe

The one about rubio there though, I will link here:

The comments...well, they are enough reason to scorn the right. That these people actually believe some of what is posted there should energize thinking people to turn out in mass numbers in 2014

4. Didn't they have an entire basketball team there?

Saw it on DU.... Michelle's brother is a college basketball coach and he brought the team along.

Or was that on a different occasion?

[Tx4obama]

13. Yes you are correct. Michelle's brother Craig and his family and the basketball team ...

were invited to the White House for Turkey day dinner.

And Michelle's mother would be there too since she lives at the White House,
and also last I heard Barack's sister Maya and her husband and two kids are living somewhere in D.C. now too so they were probably invited for dinner also.

5. what is oyster stuffing ?

[The Straight Story]

6. Good lord almighty....

It is the bomb crackers, oysters, butter, milk... have some in my fridge.

[nolabear]

17. Dressing, really. But it is dressing of the gods.

[Ilsa]

7. Geez, do they really think that everyone

is going to eat from six different pies? Or sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes and two dressings and mac & cheese? These are selections, like in a cafeteria, not platters of food for each guest.

[aletier_v]

8. Beck is right. Banana Cream and Sweet Potato pie

Have no business being in a thanksgiving dinner.

One is just wrong and sweet potato is already served in the main course.

And who the hell thinks sweet potato is a desert?

[bluestate10]

14. Are you serious? Both pies are common in some cultures at Thanksgiving. May be you should

read more.

[aletier_v]

15. Oh, right, let's just have some flipping Cranberry pie, too, then?!

How about some lemon meringue and pecan pie, too, those old THANKSGIVING FAVORITES!

[satxdem]

18. very true.

I am AA, we don't even make pumpkin pie in our household. My family actually makes sweet potato pie. Point is, it maybe be cultural as you stated.

[Lilyeye]

16. I do and so does my family.

[Enrique]

9. why does The Blaze hate apple pie?

do they hate baseball, hot dogs and Chevrolet as well?

[nadinbrzezinski]

10. Hilarious, I could not eat most of that

and has nothing to do with the fat!

Pie was served here, for only hubby, store bought.

[okwmember]

11. So being hospitable and offering choices

to your guests is now a bad thing? What a group of nitwits.

[Incitatus]

12. Apparently

Obama can't even feed 10 service members a Thanksgiving meal without being attacked. If you're serving 10 different people, variety is a good thing. They will have different tastes and maybe allergies. It's amazing the following Beck has for the ridiculous crap he says.
