Obama: “I can’t stop eating french fries. But eat your vegetables”

It's good to be the king. And queen. The rules only apply to the little people. From the Washington Examiner via HAHeadlines:

“My favorite?” Obama said. “Oh, this is a tough one. “It is tough, you know, because if I say something not healthy, people will be, like, you aren’t really committed to health. If I say something healthy, you know — I do — honestly, I like all kinds of foods.”

Obama mentioned Indian food, and then Mexican food, and then said: “No, if I picked one favorite, favorite food, it’s French fries.” The audience began to laugh. “Okay? It’s French fries,” Obama continued. “I can’t stop eating them.” As the students laughed more, the First Lady quickly returned to her role as advocate of health eating. “But eat your vegetables,” she said, to still more laughs. “And exercise.”

Let me put aside that french fries are potatoes and potatoes are indeed vegetables (if Sarah Palin had said this believe you me the media would be painting her as a dumb bimbo for not knowing that). But the reality here is that she is denying kids that which she indulges in, typical of ruling class mentality. Her plate is full of things she denies others in regulating what's on your plate:

All the while: Good to be the king: Obama wolfs down TWO chili dogs and fries... day after his wife unveils new dietary guide. By the way, it's also good to be the queen: Irony: Anti-Obesity Michelle Obama Feast On Ribs At Ski Resort, 1575 Calories Pers Serving, 175g Fat. Going on a diet is for the little people. Michelle Obama wants doctors to prescribe drugs for fat kids. She wants to restrict what children are allowed to eat. She has even talked about removing parents from the child nutrition picture altogether: Michelle Obama on Child Nutrition: ‘We Can’t Just Leave It Up To The Parents’. As part of the ruling class though, she has an abundance of hypocrisy in her veins. Dietary restrictions for thee, but not for me! Next time she piously lectures on the evils of saturated fats, remember this post. Such a thing isn't the first time that Obama's bitter half ignored her own edict.
