Title: Obama - Diet Counselor in Chief

How the nanny president sees himself -- and us

________________________ __________________




What’s it like inside the Obama White House? A lot like what you’d guess from outside the Obama White House.

In “Revival: The Struggle for Survival Inside Obama’s White House,” MSNBC analyst Richard Wolffe, a writer sympathetic to the president, reports the prosaic backroom details of the White House struggles from early this year, but occasionally stumbles upon an off-the-cuff revelation that’s much more interesting.

One staffer was conspicuously overweight. The president, in an incident that Wolffe believes proves how caring the man is, took it upon himself to present the aide with a salad for lunch — “then listened to him protest that he could take care of his own health. ‘I love you, man,’ Obama said. ‘I want you to look after yourself. Eat the salad.’ ”

I love you, man. Eat the salad. That is the Obama presidency in a plastic see-through clamshell. (Hold the ranch dressing!) The president loves us. He knows what’s best for us. We should bow to his superior wisdom.

Jimmy Carter obsessed over the White House tennis court schedule. President Obama wants to be your life coach, guidance counselor and spouse, kicking your shins under the dinner table when you order chocolate cake instead of steamed celery.

The president has to deal with transnational terrorism, arms control, unemployment, the deficit, health care and limiting damage from the Joe Biden Gaffe-u-tron. Add in the possibility of North Korea throwing a nuclear tantrum, and it seems unlikely that Obama is going to have time to follow me into Wendy’s. Yet there he is, pushing for all restaurant chains to post calorie counts, as already required in New York. Like much of liberalism, this little nudge isn’t a terrible idea, but it does impose a cost on business with little apparent benefit.

The “eat the salad” command is echoed throughout the book, which finds Obama in emergency mode at all times and always convinced that his combination of charisma, intelligence and moral authority makes him uniquely qualified to solve any problem that has bedeviled humanity for any number of generations. As Obama sees the hapless White House underling — an oaf who has never heard of salad and has been waiting for a visionary to guide him to the land of arugula — he sees the world.

When an earthquake strikes Haiti, Obama demands immediate action: “Make sure we are moving fast and aggressively,” he says. “I don’t want to hear any excuses.” Excuses? Wolffe morosely cites “the inability of the White House, or any government, to ease Haiti’s suffering.”

Never mind, Obama is off to the START negotiations with the Russians, negotiating obscure details himself. He sprints through the process and pronounces the treaty done, delivering on his promise to move to “a nuclear-free world.” Now it seems to have as many structural wobbles as Haiti.

A signature Obama line — economic policy “has less to do with big government or small government than it has to do with smart government” — amounts to proclaiming, “I must be right because I’m brilliant.” Obama evidently feels that his tireless brainwork tidied up the war-peace problem for the ages in his Nobel Prize speech (peace, we learned, is desirable but war is sometimes necessary) and that he wrought a profound new balance on civil liberties by largely retaining Bush anti-terror policies with the major fix being that, this time, he is the one in charge (a position Wolffe ably summarizes as, “In other words, trust me”).

Obama’s self-regard is at its most resplendent when he delivers a remark attributed to Abraham Lincoln: “I am not bound to win, but I’m bound to be true. I’m not bound to succeed, but I’m bound to live up to what light I have.” That the words are actually those of Ronald Reagan is an amusing but trivial detail.

What’s telling is that Obama set up the remark by saying he takes great pleasure in the White House library, and that he stumbled upon the remark in the process of searching out the wisdom of his predecessors. This was not a true statement. In fact Obama later admitted to Wolffe that he had found the quotation while reading one of his own diaries, in which he had mistakenly attributed the Reaganism to Lincoln.

So: In times of worry and strife, Obama looks for comforting inspiration in the sacred, timeless words of . . . Obama!

Presidents are often accused of surrounding themselves with yes-men and retreating from the world. This president doesn’t even need the yes-men. He lives in a hall of mirrors, and he’s awed by the view.

You make a great point, 33.  it's condescending.  I hate it when ppl are like that.  Live and let live. 

Then again, there are people who believe they can intervene and help people and change the world.  I'm fine with letting a co-worker destroy his health, and I'm fine with staying out of politics and letting the nation collapse.  However, I guess you're right in your belief that it does take a certain boldness - often construed by the sloth and obese as indignant - to make meaninful changes to individuals, as well as to nations.  Obama has that boldness, while you and I do not.  He's not well-mannered, but he does make improvements.  I could not have said it any better than you did brother.

LMAO... cuz laura Bush ate peanut butter sandwiches for 8 years?  ha!

The nature of the web and online news outlets and blogging is that every single sniff of a mis step or a snafu is headlines overnight.  I mean, drudge was SO upset that a woman with her net worth spent $400 on what looked to be a very comfortable pair of shoes.  Hell, I own a $40 pillow - it's worth it for something you spend so much of your life touching.

WASHINGTON - President Bush said Thursday that childhood obesity is a costly problem for the country and puts stress on American families.

"One way for this nation to cope with the issue of obesity is to get people outside - whether it be through sports or hiking or conservation," Bush said while meeting with business leaders working to encourage exercise and healthy food choices through advertising.

He said first lady Laura Bush was on her way to New York to kick off Friday's "Wear Red Day" for the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute's Red Dress Project to increase awareness that women are at risk for heart disease. Bush signed a proclamation making February American Heart Month.

"Mothers are the ones, a lot of times, who make choices for their children," the first lady said. "They make their choices on the foods they eat. They're the ones at home, many times, who encourage their children to exercise."

Earlier, the president and Mrs. Bush attended the 55th national prayer breakfast at a Washington hotel where he prayed for the safety of U.S. troops, saying: "During this time of war, we thank God that we are part of a nation that produces courageous men and women who volunteer to defend us."

In the Roosevelt Room, the president and Mrs. Bush met with executives from the food, beverage and entertainment industries to talk about improving healthy food offerings and encouraging physical fitness in their marketing and advertising campaigns.

More than 10 million school-age children in the United States - about 18 percent - are now considered overweight. The percentage of overweight children tripled among adolescents during the past 25 years, and nearly doubled for children ages 6 to 12. This increases their risk for adult heart disease and diabetes, lowers life expectancy and creates additional health care costs


Following the meeting, Health and Human Services Secretary Mike Leavitt was to work with Roger Enrico, chairman of DreamWorks Animation SKG, and Peggy Conlon, president and chief executive officer of The Advertising Council, to launch a public awareness campaign to help prevent childhood obesity. The campaign will include ads featuring characters from the "Shrek" animated movies encouraging children to "Be a Player" and get up and play for an hour a day.

Representatives from General Mills, Coca-Cola North America, Univision Communications Inc., Kraft Foods Inc., Kellogg Co., PepsiCo Inc., Subway Franchisee Advertising Fund Trust, McDonalds USA and Nickelodeon Television also were at the meeting.

Obama eats pretty healthy.

Michelle does too.  

They eat some junk, but so do we getbiggers from time to time.  I think Obama's mother-in-law is naturally a bigger woman, is she not?  Michelle might not have the best genetics.  She's pushing 50.  I know a lot of 50 year old woman who eat very healthy and aren't in amazing shape.  Don't you?

Maybe she doesn't enjoy things like ECA and 4 hours a day of free time that you and I have.  Maybe she doesn't have an amazing metabolism.  maybe she has health problems we don't know about.  To shit on a 50 year old woman for trying to help people be more healthy - because she's not as skinny as you'd like?  GMAFB.

I didn't see a lecture from Obama to this guy about what he was eating.  If your mother was getting extremely fat and obese would you just say hey mom, be fat and be happy, knowing that the risk of her obesity would most likely be her death?  You would just let her become a diabetic and die from eating too much and not say anything?

Doubtful.

She used govt resources, manpower, secret service, and airlines to personally push her programs, telling others how to take care of their bodies.  Just like Ms. Obama is doing.
 
33, what say you?  it's a-okay for Laura bush to tell women to go get their hearts checked and watch for cancer - but telling them how to eat is horrible?

Dems may use food-stamp money to pay for Michelle Obama's nutrition initiative
By Russell Berman - 08/14/10 05:00 AM ET
www.thehill.com


________________________ ________________________ -


 
Democrats who reluctantly slashed a food-stamp program to fund a state-aid bill may have to do so again to pay for a top priority of first lady Michelle Obama.

The House will soon consider an $8 billion child-nutrition bill that’s at the center of the first lady’s “Let’s Move” initiative. Before leaving for the summer recess, the Senate passed a smaller version of the legislation that is paid for by trimming the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, commonly known as the food-stamp program.

The proposed cuts would come on top of a 13.6 percent food-stamp reduction in the $26 billion Medicaid and education state-funding bill that President Obama signed this week.

Food stamps have made multiple appearances on the fiscal chopping block because Democrats have few other places to turn to offset the cost of legislation.

Party leaders raided the budget to find off-setting tax increases and spending cuts to pay for their top legislative priorities, including the roughly $900 billion healthcare law. Congressional pay-as-you-go rules require lawmakers to offset all non-emergency spending.


Democrats have turned to the food-stamp program because funding increases enacted in the stimulus package last year were already scheduled to phase out over time. The changes proposed in the state-aid and nutrition bills would simply cut off that increase early, in March 2014. Because the cuts would not take effect for more than three years, Democratic leaders have voiced the hope that they will be able to stop the cuts in future legislation.

But House liberals are balking now, saying that while they swallowed the food-stamp cuts to pay for urgent funding for Medicaid and teachers, they will not vote for more cuts in the child-nutrition bill. In a letter sent this week to Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), 106 House Democrats urged the Speaker to take the House version of the child-nutrition bill, which does not slash food stamps, rather than the Senate version.

“This is one of the more egregious cases of robbing Peter to pay Paul, and is a vote we do not take lightly,” the lawmakers, led by Reps. James McGovern (D-Mass.) and Keith Ellison (D-Minn.) said of their vote on the state-aid bill.

The House version of the child-nutrition bill, authored by Rep. George Miller (D-Calif.), passed the Education and Labor Committee earlier this year, but lawmakers must find a way to pay for it before it comes to the floor for a vote. “Chairman Miller is working to find other ways to pay for this bill,” a spokeswoman said when asked if cuts to the food stamp program would be used.

A House leadership aide noted that the food-stamp decrease approved in the state-aid bill will not take effect right away and will leave the program at the same funding level it was at before the stimulus law was signed. “That doesn’t mean many Democrats are not concerned about the issue, but this is a process which gives us time to deal with immediate issues (like jobs) and helping the economy grow, while giving you time to deal with the food-stamp issue,” the aide said.

The nutrition bill is clearly a priority for Michelle Obama, who has made a push for healthy eating — one of her signature policy issues at White House. When the House version of the nutrition bill won committee approval in July, it marked the first time she weighed in publicly on pending legislation.


The Obama administration has not directly addressed the debate over the food-stamp cuts, but it is backing the Senate bill. “We strongly supported the Senate action and look forward to working with the House to get a final bill onto the president’s desk,” an administration official told The Hill.

The $4.5 billion Senate bill would expand eligibility for school meal programs, establish nutrition standards for all food sold in schools and provide a 6-cent increase for each school lunch to help cafeterias serve healthier meals. The $8 billion House version includes more money for expanding access to school lunches for children in low-income households.

The deeper food-stamp reductions in the Senate version would set an earlier date — in November 2013 — for eliminating the increased benefits passed last year. A family of four would see their benefits reduced by $59 a month, or about 9 percent. The bill would also cut funding for nutrition-education programs aimed at low-income neighborhoods and households.

“It’s very sad. I think it’s just illustrating what dire straits our federal government budget is in,” said Sheila Zedlewski, director of the Urban Institute’s Income and Benefits Policy Center. “It’s unprecedented to raid one safety net program to feed another.”

333 - from the article you posted it seems that Dems aren't against the program (as you've stated earlier) but prefer the Senate vs. the House bill

Personally I don't see a problem with this program.  Childhood obesity and early onset diabetes is out of control in this country and a few billion dollars is a drop in the bucket (Shit the Bush Admin misplaced 2x that amount in Iraq)
