There have been former First ladies who took on pet projects in the past. Barbara and Laura Bush worked to end illiteracy. Nancy Reagan worked to end teenage drug use with her Just Say No Program and Lady Bird Johnson planted beautiful flowers. Michelle Obama has taken on a pet project that says do as I say not as I do. Michelle Obama's pet project is working on getting rid of childhood obesity.

Michelle Obama has good nutritional advice for the kids of America. Eat a good diet rich in fruits and vegetables and stay away from junk food. She is trying to fight against childhood obesity. Michelle Obama is telling our children if they eat right they will live longer. Eating a Big Mac at McDonald's every day is not a very smart thing to do. It is unhealthy and will make you fat. There is no problem with teaching our children about nutrition. The problem is the do as I say not as I do attitude in The White House.

The problem is the dieting habits of Michelle Obama and her husband President Barack Obama. Michelle Obama loves ribs and was reported to dine on ribs on a skiing vacation with her kids in Colorado. President Barack Obama has been reported and shown on TV eating big juicy burgers and French fries. He seemed to love junk food. If you want to teach children new habits you teach them better by your good example.

There are ways to explain what Michelle Obama is doing in words. Do as I say not as I do. Michelle Obama is teaching good nutrition to children but she is not practicing what she preaches. She is not leading children by a good example. She reminds one of her husband President Barack Obama and the way he leads America.

President Barack Obama has his own do as I say not as I do attitude in the way he lives as our President. President Obama passed Government Healthcare, but made himself exempt from this healthcare. President Obama claims to be a Christian, but comes from a hate church that claims to be 'unashamedly black' with a 'non-negotiable commitment to Africa.' President Obama claims to be a Christian, but believes in abortion and stands up for Gay Marriage.

I remember this do as I say not as I do attitude from childhood. My father was an angry alcoholic who used this term often. Now Michelle Obama is using this same term in her actions towards the children of the United States of America. Is what Michelle Obama doing wrong?

It is not wrong to teach school age children to eat a good diet rich in fruits and vegetables and try to fight childhood obesity?
