Michelle Obama's Obesity Comments: Was Bringing in Malia, Sasha Wrong? - ABC News: "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.
Michelle Obama shares stories about her family during obesity campaign in Va.
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,' 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't see the changes. And that's also part of the problem, or part of the challenge. It's often hard to see changes in your own kids when you're living with them day in and day out,' she added. 'But we often simply don't 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's kid -- and I was in that position.'"
Funny isn't it how no one can talk about the Obama children in the media because Obama has made it taboo, now they become role models when it suits the Obama's? ~~ The Munz
