Sarah Palin Jabs Michelle Obama's Anti-Obesity Campaign With S'mores

Sarah Palin took a shot at Michelle Obama during Sunday's episode of her reality TV show, "Sarah Palin's Alaska," jabbing the first lady's anti-obesity campaign for attempting to deprive Americans of dessert.

While searching for s'mores ingredients on a family camping trip, Palin remarked:

"Where are the s'mores ingredients? This is in honor of Michelle Obama, who said the other day we should not have dessert."

Michelle Obama has been a key proponent of an initiative to improve children's health by encouraging better diets and sufficient exercise. In May she announced her "Let's Move" program, which promoted dessert alternatives, among other dietary suggestions.

The Associated Press reported at the time:

One in 3 American children is overweight or obese, putting them at higher risk of diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and other illnesses. Obesity is even more prevalent among black and Hispanic children. Some public health experts say today's children are on track to live shorter lives than their parents.
But Palin has maintained that Obama's effort to combat child obesity -- which was recently aided by the passage of the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act -- is one that seeks to take away "God-given rights to make our own decisions." Some have since slammed that comment as Palin's demanding that Americans cling to their "God-Given right to be fat."

During an appearance on Laura Ingraham's radio program last month, Palin complained:

"Instead of a government thinking that they need to take over and make decisions for us according to some politician or politician's wife priorities, just leave us alone, get off our back."


And CNN relays another incident in Pennsylvania last month, in which the former Alaska governor sought to criticize the first lady's health plan:

Palin also hand-delivered cookies to a Pennsylvania school last month before delivering a speech there, saying: "Who should be deciding what I eat? Should it be government or should it be parents? It should be the parents."

God.. Sara Palin is a staker. Her obsession with the Obamas shows how sick, twisted and hateful she is.

Keep

on eating too much bitch, I'll prove The First Lady's point. Helping in her own way by example.

[Cali_Democrat]

1. When did Michelle say we should not have any dessert?

I must have missed that.

[NatBurner]

5. 29th of neverary

[HughBeaumont]

2. Isn't Alaska the largest recipient of government largesse?

http://www.alternet.org/blogs/peek/104882/palin's_alaska%3A_as_close_to_socialism_as_america_gets/

[Canuckistanian]

38. That's a lot of desserts

I don't see what she's complaining about.

[livetohike]

3. Palin is obsessed with the Obama family and her immature

jabs at them is low class and unattractive. Gracious and genteel will never be adjectives that are attached to Sarah Palin. She is a spectacle - like something at a carnival that people pay 25 cents to see.

[BluegrassDem]

4. She's so jealous of Michelle

She can't even hide it. Michelle probably doesn't even give that nimwit the time of the day.

I'm just waiting for the first time that Caribou Barbie attacks Sasha and Malia. You know it's just a matter of time.

[Lucky 13]

6. This just in... sky=blue, ice=cold, rain=wet

NOTHING she could say would surprise me at this point.

But every time I hear her name mentioned or her screechy voice on the TV, I get one blood pressure point closer to a stroke. She is, without question, bad for my health.

[Cheap_Trick]

7. Hey Sarah, you know what would go good with those s'mores?

A nice tall glass of SHUT THE FUCK UP!

[66 dmhlt]

21. Cream? Sugar?

[spartan61]

8. God... Sarah Palin is an idiot......Ya think????

[vaberella]

9. An idiot who gets a lot of publicity even on DU. n/t

[Ineeda]

10. Sure would be nice if Failin

put as much importance into keeping out of our bedrooms as she does our kitchens.

[Kber]

24. love it!

[mtnsnake]

11. Whenever I think of Palin, I envision her shooting exhausted wolves & bears from a helicopter

Besides her crusade to chase down wolves and bears from the air until they become so exhausted that they stop running, and then get shot when they can no longer run, she is one of the most anti-conservation right-wing extremists in the history of this country.

(edit: Why on earth would anyone unrec this thread? Got some secret Palin admirers here or something?)

[11 Bravo]

17. There are lurkers here who automatically unrec any thread which tells the truth about ...

the snowbilly grifter. Then they immediately go back to whacking off to her cover shoot in Runner's World.

[Atticus]

28. Whenever I think of Palin, I see her slouched against a lamp post along the waterfront accosting

passers-by with a hoarse "Ps-s-s-t! Hey, sailor!"

[applegrove]

37. I too have noticed some unrecs on threads that should be universally liked by duers, if not ignored.

Pisses me off.

[rury]

51. The unreccers are probably the Redstate trolls

Who frequent here pretending to be liberals who are upset with President Obama.
They let their guard down for a minute and their true colors come shining through.

[applegrove]

52. Yup. Or they could be paid gop roleplayers. Those guys are everywhere.

[BrklynLiberal]

12. That creature is a black hole of stupidity.

[prolesunited]

13. Republicans want a US population

that is stupid, fat and reliant on prescription drugs.

[patrice]

14. This sentence is so very characteristic of a mistake that she makes FREQUENTLY:

"Who should be deciding what I eat? Should it be government or should it be parents? It should be the parents."

Notice the incongruence between referring to "I" and "parents". A coherent person constructs a parallel to "I" by using "me" rather than "parents", or, if they're grammatically fastidious, they parallel "... what I eat?" with "... should it be I? It should be I" though me is more commonly used.

My point is that she switches from I to hypothetical children and doesn't make any kind of transition for the change in perspective.

I'd bet you'd see lots of these kinds of switches in what she says. IMO, there's something wrong with her and these incoherences are one of the symptoms.

It's either a mental handicap or she is mentally lazy.

[TARAmisu80]

25. It's probably a bit of both...

Or possibly just well I don't even know what to consider as to the reason for her being the way she is. She behaves completely immaturely while trying to make herself look as though she is the great omniscient one. I get riled up just hearing her name or seeing it printed!

[patrice]

34. There's something about us that she thinks she understands, but she doesn't

I don't comment on her much anymore, trying to end her time in the limelight by ignoring her. Today is an exception, because I was interested in the way that she repeats the kind of error in logic that I mentioned above.

:hi: Welcome to DU, TARAmisu. Enjoy! :hi:

[nxylas]

15. Stupid like a fox

She knows full well that her fried chicken guzzling supporters will be all a-quiver (even more so than usual) over her "brave stand against the food fascists".

[Phx_Dem]

16. Attacking any first lady is never a good political strategy.

Palin is a "mean girl" who can't help herself. She's constantly in attack mode.

[tanyev]

18. You go, Sarah. Cram your mouth full of marshmallows 24/7.

Then we won't have to hear any more idiocy coming out of it.

[TARAmisu80]

26. Shove a bunch of chocolate and

graham crackers down there too, then keep shoving and shoving, eventually she might shove the crap she's full of down and out! Maybe then she'll make sense.. wait- doubt that! She'll never make sense... eventually she may just make such an @$$ out of herself everyone laughs at her???

[Raine]

19. Does Palin want to be President or First Lady

if she's not interested in being First Lady WHY is she so jealous of Michelle? :shrug:

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

20. Does TLC do nothing but run this show anymore? Seems like that's all they broadcast when

I flip channels, repeating the same episodes over and over. It's just 8 episodes isn't it? Hasn't it had it's run?

Are they going to run this on an endless loop right up until 2012 primaries?

[Nedsdag]

22. Now you realize that she's an idiot?

It took this long?

[Imagevision]

23. Palin is great for the GOP to run against Obama, we'll actually believe we won again?

[OhioBlue]

27. She isn't just an idiot - she is evil - IMO

The way she twists things is just disgusting.

She acts as if there isn't a public health issue - for the love of everything holy.... nobody is saying that a child should be allowed to have a cookie or a smore on occasion. But damn it... we have an epidemic of unhealthy children and she wants to joke about it. F-in sick!

[jillan]

29. Didn't anybody teach her any manners? She acts like she is 13.

[Skittles]

42. I was way more mature than Ms. Palin when I was 13

[pacalo]

30. Just what this deep-in-the-hole country needs to run it -- a prissy third-grader.

[rhett o rick]

31. Palin is a red herring. Jeb Bush will be the candidate. nm

[unblock]

32. she hand-delivered cookies -- and criticizes michelle for telling kids what to eat?

typical republican hypocrisy. when SHE's delivering cookies and telling kids to eat cookies, that's freedom and god-given rights and all that. but when A DEMOCRAT has a different suggestion for desert, that's the gubmint taking away god-given rights.

[Mopar151]

33. It would go waaay over Tootsie's head

Graham crackers were one of the first health foods.

And, IMHO, "parental control" is a well-worn fundie/neocon meme

[Lifelong Protester]

35. Noon day sun on Venus stupid.

The primordial soup of stupid. Rock hard stupid. So stupid, the stupid is collapsing in on itself from the weight... you get the idea.

[golfguru]

36. Palin threads are a waste of broadband

in this General Discussion-Presidency forum. She will NOT be the nominee
in 2012. I am basing this on talking to several republicans, and 9 out of 10
of them would never vote for her because they think she lacks gravitas.

There are very few threads about Romney, Huckabee, Gingrich, Daniels, Pawlenty & Barbour, the real possibilities.

[nmbluesky]

39. Barbour have just kissed his presidential goodbye

because he praised racist group..

http://yglesias.thinkprogress.org/2010/12/haley-barbours-affection-for-the-white-supremacist-citizens-council/

[golfguru]

40. That should do it...another makaka moment

although I where did I see that makaka dude mulling over a presidential run.

[HughBeaumont]

44. And Newt Gingrich just victim-blamed . . .

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=439x46916

"Newt Gingrich, who is currently mulling a presidential bid in 2012, said at a political event in South Carolina on Thursday that most of America's problems can be blamed on the "leftist news media," Hollywood, tenured academics, overpaid federal workers, and unemployed people.

"I'm opposed to giving people money for doing nothing," he told the crowd of 250 cheering GOP activists in a state with a 10.6 percent unemployment rate.

Comparing unemployment benefits to welfare, a system he worked with former President Clinton to overhaul in the mid-1990s, Gingrich asserts that the country spent $134 billion last year on unemployment compensation "and got nothing for it." Instead of wasting money "paying people to do nothing for 99 weeks," he would make job training mandatory for anyone getting an unemployment check."

What compassion. Newt, some of those unemployed are Republicans too. Moron. :eyes:

[struggle4progress]

41. Sadly, what "gravitas" means to them is: (1) the message "Be afraid and just trust us

authoritarians," which message (2) is delivered by a voice that sounds like its owner gargles carpet tacks

[OneBlueSky]

43. "There are advantages to being such a flathead," says a friend . . .

"Gives her husband a place to set his beer while she's bl--ing him" . . .

hey, I just report 'em . . .:shrug:

[old mark]

45. K&R...Idiot, with even bigger idiots following her...Expect she will run for president

soon.

It's that kind of country.


mark

[and-justice-for-all]

46. "God-Given right to be fat."

Being over weight is unhealthy, when will that dumbass shut the hell up.

[MH1]

47. In other news, water is wet ...

[DinahMoeHum]

48. May Sarah drop dead from a PF Chang's Great Wall of Chocolate.

:nuke:

[mikekohr]

49. She's a vicious grifter and a quitter

[Honeycombe8]

50. I don't watch that show. I will never watch it. Or Kate Plus Eight. Stupid meets stupid. nt
