8. I just went off in a thread about it in GD
I cannot believe the foolishness that I'm reading. People screaming that Michelle should be focusing on jobs! What the hell can the First Lady do about jobs, at least publicly?? What the hell are these idiots going on about??

And then the ENDLESS screaming about how "poor people can't afford to eat well" and she's "lecturing people" on eating right when they're "losing their jobs." My God. Who shifted the debate to only "poor people?" Michelle Obama didn't. Michelle Obama is addressing ALL Americans. Is it because she's black that some here think that her primary focus should be on poor people?? When the hell did simply trying to EDUCATE people on the benefits of healthy eating become some sort of anti-poor platform?? Since them uppity Obamas started talking about it???

And these people truly expect for me to believe that their cries show genuine concern for the poor and are not just another excuse to try to blame and condemn the Obamas over absolutely NOTHING once again?? Yeah, I'm falling for that.
