Our environmentally aware First Lady

[Greg]

Our wonderful First Lady, Toned Arms Michele Obama went to the DC farmers market, a trip of 1.5 blocks from her public housing residence - aka- the White House to promote healthy eating. Now our new administration, which wants us to be green, drive tiny hybrids, used a motorcade of 36 cars to get there. How about that for a carbon footprint. What a total hypocrite. She could have walked there in her $400 designer gym shoes and perhaps carried her kale back home further toning her big arms. How much did that stupid stunt just cost the taxpayers?

Why all the hate? You do know that for security reasons that motorcades/secret service are necessary. That's the way it's always been and that's the way it's going to be. As per her designer gym shoes, how do you know how much they cost? How do you know they didn't come from her personal wardrobe? If they did come from her personal wardrobe that means SHE paid for them. And if they didn't they were purchased by a stylist.

So you want her to expose herself to every nutjob with a rifle?? NO occupant of the White House can just go out in public....this isn't that scene from "Dave", y'know...there are security concerns that must be taken into account.

greg, have you met chase yet? you two should get together.

[tchwojko]

If they do, I won't ask if they won't tell.

[Capt. Slo-mo]

Maybe if Chase arrives with a kale bouquet, it'll be the beginning of a poignant man-child liberal-hate fest!

Of course, Michele could also inspire thousands of others others to eat locally, and reduce the total carbon footprint massively over the small amount spent in the trip.

But Greg would rather carp about her arms.

better be careful what you say about michelle obama she might strangle you with those arms...

Not that I agree this whole thing is a big deal, but the irony is pretty amusing...

Sigh!

Correction one: Those shoes retail for $540.
Correction two: a dozen eggs, two bunches of Tuscan kale, two pints of cherry tomatoes, four Asian pears, one pint of small potatoes and one-half pint of hot peppers, a wheel of Claire's organic camembert cheese and a half-quart of chocolate milk.

Unfortuantely, there are too many crazies around for the Obama to enjoy the freedom of walking to a farmer's market.

[Slacker]

uh, that chocolate milk came from a brown cow, right?
