RUSH: Did you hear what Michelle Obama did? This is an ABC News headline. ‘Did Michelle Obama Send the Wrong Message With Obesity Comments?\u2019 She basically admitted that her two girls were fat but that she didn\u2019t see it happening because she was so close to them. You know, she\u2019s big on obesity, childhood obesity. ‘Michelle Obama has earned accolades for making healthy living and eliminating childhood obesity a priority as first lady. But when it came down to personalizing the issue in relation to her daughters, the remarks touched a nerve with some, and praise from others. The first lady made the issue of healthy eating personal last week at an event in Alexandria, Va., where she kicked off a campaign addressing the issue of childhood obesity. ‘We went to our pediatrician all the time,\u2019 Obama said. ‘I thought my kids were perfect — they are and always will be — but he [the doctor] warned that he was concerned that something was getting off balance. I didn\u2019t see the changes. And that\u2019s also part of the problem, or part of the challenge. It\u2019s often hard to see changes in your own kids when you\u2019re living with them day in and day out,\u2019 she added. ‘But we often simply don\u2019t realize that those kids are our kids, and our kids could be in danger of becoming obese. We always think that only happens to someone else\u2019s kid — and I was in that position.”<\/p>\n

So Michelle Obama threw her kids under the bus. She has hinted to the world that her kids are fatties. By the way, satire alert, the following may be offensive. The real problem is that Michelle Obama has a doctor, a pediatrician who no doubt\u2019s getting ready to rip her off. Her husband has warned her about these pediatricians. The pediatrician might have lied to Michelle Obama about them being fat as an excuse to do surgery. You know, Obama has warned us about pediatricians. They schedule unnecessary surgeries, remove kids\u2019 tonsils just to line their pockets, and it looks like those scheming rip-off specialists are doing it again here. Warning, satire alert, may be offensive. This time they\u2019re using phony obesity warnings as a get-rich-quick scheme. Michelle ought to know better than this. Her husband has warned all of us about how pediatricians make it up, do false and phony surgeries. If she doesn\u2019t think her kids are fat and the pediatrician does, who\u2019s right? And if they\u2019re not fat and the pediatrician says they\u2019re fat what\u2019s the diabolic purpose that he has in mind? <\/p>\n

Diane in Bluffton, South Carolina, welcome. Great to have you on the EIB Network.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Oh, thank you, Rush. Years ago I bought your book See, I Told You So. I\u2019ve been a fan since then. My question would be, if I were a first lady, at this point I would be more worried about children not getting enough to eat than too much to eat.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Why would that be?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, because of our economy, because of families.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Oh, yeah. More and more families unemployed so less and less food on the table.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Exactly.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Exactly. That would be my concern, instead of at this point children that weigh too much.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, but, you know, the thing is, her husband is really laser-like focused on jobs now. And he\u2019s got that handled.<\/p>\n

CALLER: (laughing) I hope you\u2019re laughing with me, because I find that very amusing.<\/p>\n

RUSH: See, the first lady has to do something with kids. All first ladies do something with children.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, I know. But let\u2019s save them, let\u2019s worry about if they\u2019re getting enough to eat. I\u2019m sorry, I just felt that her problem with obese children is not our problem right now. There are other things she can focus on.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Frankly, I agree with you. I think this focus on obesity and that somehow only the government can fix it and only the government and attention from the government can solve it, it\u2019s all rooted in the notion that parents don\u2019t know what the hell to do, that parents are irresponsible, people cannot live their own lives, they cannot make their own wise decisions and the proper judgments and needs nannies and government bureaucrats and so forth to come in like the mayor of New York, no trans fat, no salt, calorie counting labels on every food product, whatever the hell it is. Frankly, it wears me out. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
