Michelle Lectures U.S. Ambassador’s residence

First lady Michelle Obama arrived at the London Olympics in the land of fish and chips with a bang, talking on TV shows and even boosting her popular “Let’s Move” initiative.

At the U.S. Ambassador’s residence, where she hosted the Let’s Move rally, she introduced several American Olympians as her friends, using them to give the assembled kids a message that might be hard to swallow: Success requires hard work.

What’s more, she slipped in some of her eat healthy message when she suggested that a good future for any child also means no TV and lots of veggies.

“We love you,” she said. “But we want you to take care of yourselves, help your families, turn off the TV, eat some vegetables. Yes, that's part of it. Because we want you guys to grow up and have the future you deserve. Okay? Is that a promise?”

OK, I'll play devils advocate, kids DO need to leave the TV and video games, for sports or just plain outside activity, and DO need to leave the fast food and soda for decent home prepared food and drink. My 2 cents.

Sounds like she is going off message. Success cleary requires that the rich pay their fair share of taxes so Dear Leader can take all the credit. Or I guess you could just rely on cronyism, Michelle
