Michelle Obama to Attempt Jumping Jacks World Record
ABC News ^ | Oct 7, 2011 7:55pm
________________________ ________________________ ________
Next week, First Lady Michelle Obama will attempt to jump her way into the record books.
In her campaign to convince American kids that exercise is fun, Mrs. Obama will launch a challenge to break the Guinness world record for the most people doing jumping jacks in a 24-hour period.
Tuesday at the White House, the first lady will lead hundreds of local children in a minute of continuous jumping jacks. But to break the record, the “jumper in chief” needs to inspire more than 20,000 people from around the world to get on their feet and join her in a minute of jumping jacks at some point between 3 p.m. Oct. 11 and 3 p.m. Oct. 12.
The “Let’s Jump!” initiative is being led by National Geographic Kids.

She really isn't the right spokesman for this kind of campaign. She should go hire someone like Denise Austin.
-
She's ( or He's rather) already the planet earths hairiest human being.
I'm sure she could easily win any world record for bodily hair clogging a toilet/ sink.

retarded post alert ;D

the important thing is that fake weak news items like there are fodder for repub voices to make fun of obama...
and take their attention away from the dismal UE numbers, F&F, and all the other clusterfcks that the white house is facing this week.
Funniest of all - the repubs take the bait every single time. I tells ya... when F&F comes to a head, you'll have obama "accidentally" calling Kanye a jackass or Michelle spending $75 trillion on a vacation in Africa or even NBC employee Trump popping with loud and vocal birth cert BS.
Every time. they take th bait.
-
maybe it's not just obama that is this smart.
bush pretzel choking incident. What date was that? Jan 13 or 14, 2002? What else was going on that week?
CT fodder, sure... but really, ppl in washington aren't new to this shit. Every time we hear a nonsense bogus lame distraction story, I like to see what the admin is doing directly before (which will not get reported) or after (which will get drowned as nobody's paying attention).

Will she attempt this before or after she lectures us on exercise a day after gorging on a $500, 2000 calorie meal?

Paula Deen: Michelle Obama likes fried food too

Examiner Staff Writer | Follow on Twitter @NikkiSchwab
When Paula Deen met Michelle Obama, it wasn't exactly the queen of butter versus the first lady of garden greens. Deen, known for her delicious not-so-good-for-you recipes like Gooey Butter Cake, said the two women had more in common than you might expect.
"Well, I did a show with Michelle and I just loved being with her," Deen told Yeas & Nays. "She probably ate more than any other guest I've ever had on the show —she kept eating even during commercials." Deen taught Obama how to fry shrimp during a TV segment in September before the 2008 presidential election. "You know what their favorite foods are — it's hot wings, you know, those kinds of foods that are not necessarily top-of-the-list healthy foods, so she's no different than the rest of us," Deen said. "We love those kinds of foods, we just know that we can't eat them everyday."
The culinary superstar also said she supported the first lady's initiative to get more Americans gardening. "So I love that," she said. "I was really happy to see her encouraging children, you know, to plant their little gardens."
This week, Deen is embarking on a book tour by bus, which will bring her to Washington next month as one of the headliners for the Metropolitan Cooking and Entertaining Show at the Washington Convention Center. (Chefs Jacques Pepin, Giada De Laurentiis and Guy Fiere are also coming). There, she'll be doing some cooking, but also talking about her new book "Paula Deen's Southern Cooking Bible," her biggest cookbook yet. "I do more talking than I do cooking," she explained. "I'm just reconnecting with my friends out there and just sharing some laughs with them."
The Metropolitan Cooking and Entertaining Show will be held Nov. 5 to 6, with tickets costing $24.50 in advance online and $27 at the door.

Michelle’s Bad Eating Habits Scientifically Chronicled
by Keith Koffler on October 11, 2011, 10:33 am
http://www.whitehousedossier.com/2011/10/11/michelles-bad-eating-habits-scientifically-chronicled
Does Michelle really over-satiate herself on adipose-inducing feasts while lecturing kids to clean up their diets?
Yes, according to the most scientific study to date.
Obviously intending to counter Michelle’s critics, food writer Marian Burros, working for POLITICO, treated herself to lunch and/or dinner at “the 33 or more restaurants in the Washington area” where Michelle has grazed in Washington since her husband took office.
Can you imagine? Such diligence and sacrifice.
The result is a classic unintended scientific finding. Burros appears to have set out to prove that Mrs. Obama eats like an undernourished wild rabbit, citing the “vitriol” poured on her concerning her food habits by “anti-Obama blogs.”
In fact, Burros finds – though she doesn’t acknowledge it – that the excess weight Michelle is usually carrying around was not put there by a mysterious and unwelcome Act of God.
She eats poorly.
Burros discovers and celebrates that Michelle does eat vegetables. But that’s like saying a murderer sometimes commits burglaries. The problem is with Michelle’s core diet, much of which seems to be fried, sitting on a bone, or infested with sucrose.
Here at White House Dossier, we have a little fun with Michelle’s marked proclivity to overeat and overeat and serve unhealthy food to guests again and again, while pointing out the hypocrisy of her simultaneously telling others how to eat.
Not since Richard Simmons’s paunch protruded over his skimpy shorts has a worse Apostle of the path to health presented themselves to the public.
Let’s take a quote from a paragraph in the Burros piece in which the author says Michelle “is a careful eater, practicing what she preaches.” She then notes:
Sometimes she skips dessert.
SOMETIMES??
You advocate healthy eating and you deprive yourself of dessert only sometimes?
Actually, by the look of the article, it seems like rarely is more accurate. Here are a few samples of her desserts, taken directly from the article.
■Napoleon crème brûlée
■A 15-layer carrot cake
■Bittersweet molten chocolate cake with cappuccino ice cream
■Blueberry kulfi and apple jalabi
■Strawberry shortcake
■A log-shaped, flourless chocolate cake with a rosemary ganache
■Warm ricotta beignets
■Blueberry sorbet – Note from the author: “She passed up the tiramisu.” Such willpower.
■A perfectly balanced warm chocolate bread pudding
■Banana cream pie
■Key lime pie, bread pudding and banana pineapple cake (shared)
■Birthday cake
Let’s look at some of the appetizers – she doesn’t seem to miss many of those – and main courses. Here are a few of her meals
■Soft-shell crab cooked tempura style with a ratatouille sauce; an “ethereal lobster burger” with scallop mousse and housemade chips
■Rack of lamb
■Fried green tomatoes, avocado and corn salsa and tomato relish (shared); fried oysters; a hanger steak with fried onion rings and succotash
■Butter poached lobster on butternut squash with a brown butter emulsion; venison au poivre and corn cake
■Watermelon salad with feta; fried oyster po’ boy; followed by samples of other items on the table: seafood crepe, shrimp and grits and buttermilk biscuits
There’s more, and there are a few healthier items, but you get the idea.
In addition, she “usually” starts her meal with a dirty martini and then follows it with wine, setting a baseline of at least 300 calories before we even start counting food.
I have three words for Mrs. Obama, each of which she is certain to ignore:
PLEASE, TAKE ME!

very wasteful. You can hit the McD dollar menu and get 2000 calories for $5.00

Why because she's black?
Before you make some lame excuse explaining how it wasn't meant that way, let me be the first to say--

She looks like Tonka Truck lately

Even in the heavily edited and airbrushed first picture where she resembles a human being, she still has the face of a young Bill Cosby wearing a weave.

Paula Deen Says Michelle Obama Can Really Eat
KBOI-AM News/Talk Radio ^ | October 12, 2011
Posted on October 12, 2011 11:38:25 PM EDT by 2ndDivisionVet
When celebrity chef Paula Deen met with Michelle Obama, she was surprised at just how much food the first lady could put away.
Mrs. Obama has become a driving force in preaching healthy eating for others, but according to the newspaper, Deen recalls, she packed away anything but healthy food -- both on the air and during the commercials. “She probably ate more than any other guest I've ever had on the show!" said Deen, sometimes called the "Queen of Butter" for her decidedly non-dietetic fare.
According to the Food Network star, after complimenting Michelle on her slim figure, she showed her how to fry shrimp for a TV show in September 2008, just ahead the presidential election, reports The Daily Mail.
On the Obama family, Paula remarked, "You know what their favorite foods are? It's hot wings, you know, those kinds of foods that are not necessarily top-of-the-list healthy foods, so she's no different than the rest of us.”
The comments came in an interview that Deen, known for her love of traditionally fattening down-home cooking, gave to promote her latest book Paula Deen's Southern Cooking Bible.

AMERICAN GROWN FOOD FIGHT! OBAMA VS. DEAN!

First lady MICHLLE OBAMA fuming as PAULA DEEN dishes on her unhealthy eating habits despite new book “American Grown” PR blitz!
MICHELLE OBAMA is now furious with Southern cooking queen PAULA DEEN for crowing that the first lady, a healthy-eat ing advocate who’s waging a war against childhood obesity, pigs out on fatten ing foods.
While plugging her new book, “Paula Deen’s Southern Cooking Bible,” the feisty TV chef took a pot shot at Michelle for gorging herself on greasy french fries, fatty hot chicken wings and sug ary deep-fried Snickers bars!
“Michelle’s spitting mad,” a source told The ENQUIRER.
“She thinks Paula is trying to smear her and her family just as the 2012 presidential election race swings into gear.”
The trouble first be gan before Barack Obama was even elected president in 2008, when Michelle made a guest appearance on Deen’s popular “Paula’s Party” show and revealed that fried shrimp was her family’s favorite meal.
Then in an interview af ter filming the program, Paula quipped that Michelle would be serving high-fat, greasy and sugary foods in the White House if Obama won the elec tion!
Now Paula is rehashing those at tacks on Michelle in an attempt to plug her latest cookbook and offset Michelle's new book about eating healthy, noted the source.
“She’s no different than the rest of us,” Paula said about Michelle in a new interview.
Paula added: “She probably ate more than any other guest I ever had on the show! She kept eating even dur ing commercials. Know what (the Obamas’) favorite foods are? Hot wings. Y’know – those kinds of foods that aren’t necessarily top-of-the-list healthy foods.”
“Michelle now deeply regrets ever being on Paula’s show,” added the source. “There are a lot of digs she would have been able to brush off, but portray ing her as a high-calorie gorger during her crusade for healthy eating is crossing the line.”

Michelle 'loves french fries, pizza,' president reveals on Leno show

Michelle 'loves french fries, pizza,' president reveals on Leno show By Geneva Sands-Sadowitz - 10/26/11 09:54 AM ET
President Obama said his wife loves pizza and french fries during his appearance Tuesday night on Jay Leno's show.
Though the first lady has used her office to campaign against obesity and to tout healthy eating habits, she's OK with fattier foods in moderation, Obama said.
Obama made the remarks after Leno questioned whether the first lady would be upset with her husband's Monday visit to Roscoe's House of Chicken and Waffles, a famous soul-food restaurant in Hollywood.
"Michelle — quiet as this is kept — she loves french fries, she loves pizza, she loves chicken. Her point is just in moderation, so she does not get upset as long as, you know, it's not every day," Obama said.
He said he just couldn't resist the wings at Roscoe's, where he surprised patrons by making a brief stop.
"Originally it was just a way to be out there and say hi to everybody, but once we got in the car it smelled pretty good," said Obama on NBC's "The Tonight Show" Tuesday.
The president said he ordered the "Country Boy" special, which included wings and waffles with hot sauce.
"So, I'm eating the wings, got the hot sauce on there, you know, fancy presidential limousine smelling like chicken," added Obama.
The president was in California for campaign fundraisers and to promote his new housing initiative.
Obama told "The Tonight Show" host that he ate the food on his way to a fundraiser with celebrity guests including Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith.
"Suddenly we pull up and my sleeves are rolled up and I got a spot on my tie … it was not elegant, but outstanding chicken," Obama said.

Houston fundraiser drama
First lady event upsets local Dems
By JULIE MASON | 10/27/11 2:45 PM Updated: 10/27/11 4:30 PM
Mrs. Obama: Houston has a problem
Reuters
Close An upcoming Houston fundraiser featuring first lady Michelle Obama at the home of a former Enron executive who is part of a movement to convert public pensions to 401(k)-style plans is angering some local Democrats.
John Arnold, a Houston billionaire and former Enron trader, is hosting the Michelle Obama event with his wife, Laura Arnold, at their Houston home on Nov. 1.
Arnold is part of an organization pushing to convert public pensions — including teachers, police, firefighters and others — to 401(k)-style plans. The effort launched in California but has plans to go nationwide, according to a story by Bloomberg. The story notes that Arnold is a libertarian and his wife a Democrat.
A receptionist at Arnold's Houston investment office told POLITICO that Arnold was not available to comment.
Dana Guefen, co-chair and event contact for the Nov. 1 Houston fundraiser featuring the first lady, declined to comment to POLITICO but said someone would get back in touch.
Gayle Fallon, president of the Houston Federation of Teachers, called the 401(k) proposal "very frightening for teachers." She noted the nose dive many retirement plans took in the stock market in 2008, saying, "What if I was retired and that happened?"
"My people supported Obama big-time in 2008," Fallon said. "This is not helping."
President Obama has made support for teachers a centerpiece of his push for the American Jobs Act. He also has the support of the National Education Association.
The pension battle also is happening in Texas, although it's not clear that Arnold is involved or helping to finance it. The Texans for Public Pension Reform want a constitutional amendment eliminating public pensions in the state in favor of a new system — like a 401(k), according to the Austin American-Statesman.
In any case, Arnold's support for the pension campaign in California has some Houston Democrats questioning why the Obama campaign would risk such an alliance.
The Obama campaign told POLITICO that Arnold is a supporter and said the Nov. 1 fundraiser is still on the schedule. Tickets for the event start at $10,000, and co-host level contributions are $35,800.
Art Pronin, a Houston Democratic activist, said, "This just got my dander up."
"Does Obama support converting teacher pensions to 401(k)'s? I doubt it," said Pronin, president of his neighborhood Democratic club. "This is creating a lot of consternation in Democratic circles, and it's going to make it that much harder to get the vote out next year politically."
Local activists, including the Houston chapter of Occupy Wall Street, are considering some kind of protest of the first lady's event. Meanwhile, the local teachers' union is working to educate members about the pension campaign.
"We need street action that will make Wisconsin look like a picnic," Fallon said.
