    It never ceases to amaze me that the First Lady’s initiative is trying to get America healthy and there is extreme push back for that. Getting people to drink water instead of Mountain Dew. Freedom hater! Asking school boards to stop counting french fries as “vegetables” on their menus. Communist supporter! Letting Americans know that 20 minutes of walking a day can reduce heart disease, stroke and a whole host of medical problems. Let’s kill the Nazi sympathizer!

      I’m still shaking my head from the vitriol that bubbled up when Lil Bub did a Take Five video with FLOTUS. Suddenly, all these people screaming about how an Internet cat shouldn’t be political, and how they were unsubscribing or unfollowing or un-whatever on their social media platform of choice, because HOW DARE THE CAT... uh, encourage people to exercise?

      Somehow, I got through the entire Bush administration without losing it whenever Laura Bush talked about the importance of reading.

      You would think the party of “personal responsibility” would be at the ready to support Michelle Obama and her message of taking care of your own health, but you would be wrong. No. When a black woman married to a Communist, Socialist, Dictator, not born in this country, product of a slutty single mother, non-Christian strumpet says to America that we should take better care of ourselves.......well you might as well have asked us to willingly inject Anthrax.

      I think Eleanor Roosevelt would be a contender.

      True story: My grandfather’s best friend used to work for the Roosevelts long before he became president. Ms. Roosevelt used to carry large buckets of sand to keep her arms strong. She would load buckets with about 30 pounds a piece and hold them straight out in front of her and then shift them to her side so her arms were horizontal to her body.

      Smart, successful, strong, gorgeous, great taste, and evidently enjoying a hot marriage to (arguably) the most powerful person on the planet. Nice work if you can get it.

      I would argue that her marriage to a corporatist drone addict reflects poorly on her, but I agree that she is otherwise badass.

    She’s a total badass and I truly adore her. And yet my main takeaway from watching this was “holy shit, I hate the gym.” :/

      I have never been in better shape than when I quit the gym; bought a few dumbbells, books, a foam roller and one of those stretch band thingies with handles. This combined with outdoor walking. I think I dropped twenty pounds of guilt, alone. No one should have to pay to get into shape.

    So with the President and First Lady being on Twitter, i am curious as to what will happen when they leave office. Since the account dosen’thave their names, would the next president and FLOTUS have access to it if they choose to use it?

      Bill Clinton would also like to know.

      Welcome to @Twitter, @POTUS! One question: Does that username stay with the office? #askingforafriend

      Did you see Obama’s response? It was great.

      @POTUS: Good question, @billclinton. The handle comes with the house. Know anyone interested in @FLOTUS?

      Oh no! Been there! Except it was the FedEx guy, who insisted on ringing the doorbell and banging on the door every damn time. He has no idea how close he came to death beyond my passive aggressive note for him to cut that shit out. Hugs.

    If I faced her on a dark street alone, my delighted freak-out might be less embarrassing. For both of us.

      Yep, her staff did post this one. The tweets Michelle herself writes end with “—mo”.
