palin's reckless views on obesity

[spanone]

CNN) -- It's clear that we can't go 24 hours without Sarah Palin saying something so stupid that it defies logic, but leave it to the Kim Kardashian of politics to find something wrong with first lady Michelle Obama's effort to curb obesity in America's kids.

In a radio interview on Wednesday with conservative talker Laura Ingraham, Palin took dead aim at the first lady's "Let's Move" initiative, which is all about getting children active and involved in exercise and healthy eating.

In the wacky world of Wasilla's finest, Palin tries to cast the effort to fight obesity as part of Michelle Obama's "different worldview."

Here is a portion of the transcript from HuffingtonPost.com: "Take her anti-obesity thing that she is on. She is on this kick, right. What she is telling us is she cannot trust parents to make decisions for their own children, for their own families in what we should eat.

1. Like she is a shining paragon of how to raise children.

Let's see now.
1. a son who enlisted in the army because the alternative was jail.
2. a daughter who is an unwed mother and high school dropout.
3. another daughter involved in a break-in and thousands of dollars in damage from vandalism.

Those are fine family values you've been teaching your children there, Sarah.

2. Let's not forget about the homophobic facebook rants and drug use.

7. Right. They just aren't like us.

And they don't realize they aren't as good as we are.

Of course what can we expect of people born in North Kenya. Or South Kenya. Whatever.

5. That woman is an idiot.

6. Considering that millions of Happy Meals are sold and Mac-n-Cheese is a staple

I would say that at least some parents certainly can't be trusted - unless they are EDUCATED properly. Perhaps by some universally respected public figure, LIKE THE FIRST LADY.

8. There may be something to the 'different worldview'. Threads/posts that promote "eat

less move more" as a way of life for healthy weight loss/control are usually met with derision by many here.

I think the FLOTUS is on to something here "...first lady's "Let's Move" initiative, which is all about getting children active and involved in exercise and healthy eating...." But it isn't just children who can benefit - it's all of us.

9. It is beyond me why that imbecile gets so much attention

Anyone who thinks this twit is qualified to President is in need of some serious psychiatric help.
