Rush Limbaugh Calls Michelle Obama Fat

We are baffled to the max at the backlash to Michelle Obama’s anti-obesity campaign!
But more than baffled, we’re upset at how RUDE and CHILDISH the people opposing her are being!
During his radio show, Rush Limbaugh made some derogatory remarks about the first lady:

“The problem is, and I dare say this, it doesn’t look like Michelle Obama follows her own nutritionary, dietary advice. And then we hear that she’s out eating ribs at 1,500 calories a serving and 141 grams of fat per serving. She is a hypocrite. Leaders are supposed to lead. If we are supposed to go out and eat nothing, if we are supposed to eat roots, berries and tree bark, show us how.”

He continued:

“I’m trying to say our first lady does not project the image of women that you might see on the cover of the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue or of a woman Alex Rodriguez might date every six months, or what have you.”

First of all, Michelle Obama is in great shape. You do not have to have 0% body fat to be healthy, and Michelle Obama is healthy.
Second, there is a difference between pigging out on foods high in calories and eating those foods in moderation. In fact, there are entire diets devoted to the idea of eating anything you want, but just not eating too much of it.
Next time, try making informed comments, Rush, and don’t use school-yard insults to try to bring down something you obviously know nothing about.
Just sayin’.
