    President elevates his personal chef to food czar
    Oops I mean the 'Senior Policy Adviser for Health Foods Initiatives'.

    You won't believe what Obama's cooking up now ...

    Quote:

    President Obama has been convinced to spend $400 million a year on "healthy foods" in low-income neighborhoods as well as revise – at a cost of $10 billion – a federal plan to provide food to poor children in school.
    Such an assembly of programs "no doubt requires a trusted senior policy adviser – like Kass – who is an expert in healthy cuisine," Judicial Watch said.
    This of course is a Michelle thingy. When Russian President Medvedev came to town the President didn't have his chef cook them up a healthy meal . He took him to Ray's Hells Burgers. So what does that say about chef Sam Kass' cooking ?

    $10 billion to revise a plan that is already working .hmmm This price tag is of course the unreported aspects of the Michelle Obamas 'healthy foods initiatives' that the press never tires of reporting about .

    Free government cheese is out... free government Kobe beef and arugula is in.

    Hello tom:

    I thought you righty's understood investment... $10 Billion invested into our children's diet will reap $100 Billion in reduced health care costs - not to mention happier lives for our kids.

    Hell, if WorldNetDaily can make up numbers, why can't I?

    Because you can't so you nitpick on the source linked .

    EX if WND isn't a sufficient source will you accept Investors Business Daily... or is that too over the top also ? Sorry ,the Slimes hasn't made this story a priority yet. No doubt they will get around to praising the idea of having another highly paid but unvetted advisor to the White House.

    You may laugh about the White House assistant chef being appointed "Senior Policy Adviser." You'll stop laughing when you realize that those in power really do want to tell you what to eat.
    Really? That's what you think is going on?

    And then this little nugget:
    Quote:

    If President Obama really wants to appoint a butcher, baker or candlestick maker to a top White House policy job, we humbly propose a better suggestion: Joe the Plumber.
    That's some crack reporting right there - that's what tom refers to as quality news. :rolleyes:

    Hello tom:

    I'm not sure what you're against, here? Healthy children? Fresh food? Michelle Obama? A chef with influence? Investing into our kids future? Czars? What?

    I know. You're happy with giving our kids chicken nuggets and coke, all the while you SUPPORT a $670 BILLION tax cut for the richest people amongst us, and have that amount ADDED to the deficit. I understand.

    Besides the fact that he cooks food Michelle likes and has popped up occasionally on cooking reality shows ;what is his qualifications for taking his substantial but "undisclosed " salary ?

    NK ,wait a month or so... the dinosaur media will catch up... after all ,eventually they caught up to the National Enquirer about the Edwards story.

    Ex of all people... I guess the only thing the government should not interfere in is your right to took.
