So you claim she doesn't support her own statement?
So you claim she's just repeating what the military told her. That's the context you want to give it?
I see it differently. If she didn't think it was true she should say so. But not only does she agree but she seemed to embellish it turning it into an emergency rather then simply a health matter.
I didn't claim that at all. I said that the statement originated from the US Military. That's a fact, not a claim. Michelle was backing the concerns of the Military. You can see it any way you want but the fact is that the concern was originally raised by the Military and Michelle is taking it up. I see no problem with that.
You cannot say that just from her statement. There is nothing in it that says the claim originates from the military. It merely says that the military claims kids are too fat these days. I know somebody that's trying to get into the service but has to lose over 100 lbs. to qualify. The military gives them a training and diet program to follow and it's up to them to make the grade.
This White House likes going around the Pay As You Go rule passed a few years ago, and the way they do it is by blowing everything up into a crisis. "Never let a crisis go wasted" they've said. Well in this case they're trying to invent one.
They bitched about Bush's claims of Iraq's WMDs yet they come up with one WMD after another. Folks are getting tired of it. This is a health concern....not a matter of national security.
I can tell you that kids are fatter than they were when I was a kid.
It's disgusting to see so many kids carrying to many extra pounds.
Now imagine what it looks like to those people in other places in the world where food is a serious problem.
Is it any wonder at all why so many people resent the West?
Their kids are starving, ours are developing diabetes becuase we feed them so much junk food.

Obesity is a major problem in the US. It is a national security issue, it impacts across every aspect of our lives. The left want a Universal Healthcare - if they get it, I'm gonna be paying for those fat kids. I would prefer we address the issue.

Listening to politicians these days everything is a matter of national security....except maybe a strong military.....or making sure we keep our fucken secrets.
The problem is primarily conservative fat asses who think they have no responsiblity to their country at all. They can get as fat and sloppy as they want..and if the ticker goes..welp..that's when the government comes in and picks up the check.
Obesity is a very real and acute problem in this country. I look at our nations kids and wonder what the fuck anyone is thinking feeding them high fat and high sugar crapola while getting them excused from Gym. In my day..you were required to pass a gym physical. That should be brought back.
So 3 out of 4 kids in this country are from conservative families? Why is there still a democratic party?

It would be cool if, instead of partisan sniping, we could actually address the root issue. Just an idea - albeit a radical one.
Fat kids become fat adults - with a massive impact on our society. The 'national security' thing is nonsense but the sentiments are not. We desperately need to educate parents - and children - about why healthy eating is important. That will be where the left and right will split. The left will want to ban shit and legislate, the right will want to educate and provide information to help people make wise choices.
This is exactly what Michelle Obama is pushing. That and asking public schools to serve healthy foods instead of fat laden crap.It would be cool if, instead of partisan sniping, we could actually address the root issue. Just an idea - albeit a radical one.

Obviously this is a bad idea if one is a rightwingloon.

The list of military professionals in the post above yours disagree with you.
What makes you believe you know more about national security than they do?
it isnt?....they cant try and get people to realise whats happening health wise?.....they cant put out public service messages telling people this?.....it wont be much of a Govt if 30-50% of the people are suffering from the health issues that Obesity and Diabetes brings on will it?.....and since its happening at an earlier age,all the problems associated with these too problems,will set in, in midlife instead of old age.....thats great aint it?.....the Govt should ignore a National Health problem because its not in the Constitution.....does not the Constitution say....."promote the general Welfare"?......what does that mean?..... is not the HEALTH of the Citizens of this Country something that affects the General Welfare of the Country?....the US Govt. has every right to be concerned about the health of its Citizens.....without those Citizens the Govt aint worth shit.....i cant believe the amount of people here who think this is something to just let happen....who gives a shit.....as Spock would say.....FASCINATING......
Harry, they're just being stupid idiotic partisan hacks. Whether the government should be involved or not, the First Lady has ALWAYS had a cause that she trumpeted from her position; this just happens to be Michelle's. They know this, they just don't care.
i know ....all that has already been mentioned.....Laura and Illiteracy.....Nancy and Drugs....the thing is....how many people here defending little Obese kids,see these kids and see their Obese parents and then think shitty things about how sad it is for those kids....but thats ok.....just let them grow up to be the next generation of Obese people who will in turn have more Obese kids....in the meantime 40 percent of the population will be on the cusp of Diabetes.....15% will already have it....another percentage will have it.....but dont know it.....but the Govt should not be concerned about it.....
Arrest all the fat kids!
Help me out here mud. Your quote said:
Military leaders tell us that when more than one in four young people are unqualified for military service because of their weight, the first lady says in the prepared remarks, childhood obesity isnt just a public health threat, its not just an economic threat, its a national security threat as well."
She is quoting what military leaders said. Now, you're holding Mrs. Obama accountable for making sure every child in America exercises and eats right, and not thier PARENTS, or themselves?
To me she's saying if things don't change, a lot of these unhealthy, overweight children wouldn't qualify for the military when they are old enough to join.
Teaching kids, and their parents, how to make healthy choices in eating and exercise seems like a great idea to me.
Because, Echo, she used the innocuous term "military leaders tell me" What military leaders? Bring them forth, let them speak. The military is voluntary service.
