How come those Lazy SOBs aren’t working?
Obama signs child nutrition bill - CNN.com
Oh wait, they’re American Children … Obama signs child nutrition bill Washington (CNN) -- President Barack Obama signed a sweeping overhaul of child nutrition standards Monday, enacting a law meant to encourage better eating habits in part by giving the federal government more authority to set standards for food sold in vending machines and elsewhere on school grounds. Among other things, the $4.5 billion measure provides more money to poor areas to subsidize free meals and requires schools to abide by health guidelines drafted by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. To help offset the higher cost of including more fruits and vegetables, the bill increases the reimbursement rate for school lunches. The bill is about "giving our kids the healthy futures they deserve," the president said during a bill signing ceremony at a Washington elementary school. "Right now across the country too many kids don't have access to school meals." Even when they do, he added, too often the meals aren't sufficiently nutritious. As a result, he said, one out of every three children in America is overweight or obese. Some Democrats had objected to the bill because it is funded in part by stripping $2.2 billion from the federal food stamp program. Congress also voted over the summer to take money from the program to fund legislation sending money to cash-strapped states to avoid teacher layoffs. The cuts largely negate a spending increase provided to the food stamp program by the 2009 economic stimulus plan. Administration officials reportedly have promised anxious liberals that they will work to find ways to restore the higher funding levels. The measure has been a top priority for first lady Michelle Obama, who has championed it as part of her "Let's Move" initiative to combat child obesity in the United States. "Had I not been able to get this bill passed, I would be sleeping on the couch," the president joked shortly before signing the measure into law. "We won't go into that," the first lady said. "Let's just say it got done. Don't have to go down that road." This is totally Socialist ... what happened to NO? |

Why do you think, for the first time, in my life time, some individuals are calling the First Lady a Biotch? Just curious … what your opinion may be? |

To be honest I only see that on Forums. I really dont know the answer and find that term to be degrading. From the little I have seen of her on TV she seems to be genuine and portrays the role as well as any of the other First Ladies before her. Surely when they use a term like that they are belittling the position and insulting all who have been before. Cant say that I have ever seen it with a Prime Ministers wife in either Australia or Great Britain.

Naturally this sent the chest beating, flag waving patriots into frenzy. And naturally this was taken out of context ... Of course, these same so called Patriotic American get to choose who they want as Americans. |

No one should be calling any First Lady a Beotch. Unfortunately I do have to call you on a portion of your statement....She should already have been proud to be an American. |

I can tell you for a Fact, there has been at least several times I was NOT Proud to be an American Just to name a few … The Murder of JFK The Murder of MLK The shooting of Ronald Reagan The Atlanta Olympic Park Bombing The Oklahoma City Bombing Oh yes … there are certainly times, and not just once, that I wasn’t Proud to be an American. And let’s not even begin to go back into American History. Because when “WE” Americans do disappointing things, we deserve to be disappointed. So let’s just climb down from the Hi-Horse and get real with reality and stop playing innocent. Tinker; I won’t even give the Uppity-Half-Breed Racist comment a response; I'll let the author clearly speak for himself. {Rant-Off} |

I have to admit, we are going into the year 2011, and there are still some adults on forums that don’t have the ability to articulate themselves clearly with using such terms for the POTUS and his First lady. Someone who calls the First Lady a Biotch and the President a half-Breed can’t possibly expect to be taken seriously as an Adult. As much as I disagreed with George Bush, the color of his skin or his wife never entered the discussion, nor should it. I guess if you really want to shut me up, just turn the conversation into a serious Sexist and Racial mudslinging contest, because basically, women are not biotches and I don’t have anything against anyone who is half White and half Black. |
