The First Lady's detractors are supporting...please spell it...C.O.R.R.U.P.T.I.O.N.
They are using the First Lady to ridicule a healthy American lifestyle. It is tough to realize Wall Street commodities of apples and green beans should be of more interest than potato chips.

...The first lady’s “Let’s Move!” program (click here) and her focus on whole foods (as opposed to fast) and water instead of sodas have been welcome developments. Who better to bring needed attention to such issues? Obama is merely expanding her maternal focus to include all those public school kids whose mothers apparently have forgotten how to make a sandwich. Or whose fathers have forgotten to say, “Get those plugs out of your ears and make friends with the lawn mower” — or whatever its urban equivalent....
Her maternal focus?
Ms. Parker is typical of the right winger who is supposedly Pro-Life, but, when it comes to QUALITY OF CHILDHOOD, forget it. Evidently, every maternal focus is under attack for the impact of cost to profit ratio.
You'll excuse me, but, the First Lady is amazing. She is articulate, well educated and I bet she bakes cookies, too. Any First Lady has a priority for the nation. It has been the way it is for the entire history of the country. First Lady Michelle Obama inherited an obese nation and it was unacceptable for her. While she is more than qualified to take any topic as First Lady, she decided our children were facing huge medical problems in obesity. There are record numbers of young people experiencing Type II Diabetes that normally doesn't result until later middle age in Americans.
Type II Diabetes is a very serious diagnosis. This isn't something the latest diet fad can cure to fit into the summer swimsuit.
Our American children have a right to health and well being and the energy to learn and enjoy their young lives. So, when those like Ms. Parker decides to ridicule the First Lady, they are ignorant, seeking political power plays for Wall Street and completely LACKING a maternal focus.
