That title has absolutely nothing to do with what this post will be about, but I'm mean and want that song to get stuck in your head.
I'm currently in my philosophy classroom waiting for my teacher to get here and for class to start, and while I'm doing so I keep thinking about an article I read about Rush Limaugh bashing on the First Lady because of her diet and anti-obesity campaign.
Apparently, Rush Limbaugh decided to poke fun at Michelle Obama for her hypocrisy in her anti-obesity campaign. She'd been seen eating quite a lot of junk food, like hamburgers, sausage, pizza, and potatoes at various outings including the Super Bowl. Though she has said that she has never been an advocate of eliminating junk food completely, Rush Limbaugh still felt the need to talk about her waistline.
When I first read this article I felt a bit of anger for many reasons. One of the main reasons is that I don't particularly like Limbaugh or how he presents information. However, after seeing a few points of view from others who read the article, I have to say that I can't disagree with his hidden message. And that message is that Michelle Obama shouldn't be telling Americans what they can and can't eat without following her own rules. However, this is the first time I've heard about her "Let's Move" campaign, so I don't know her whole story either and cannot in good faith give an accurate report.
Maybe you can read the article yourself (link given above in the word: article) and give me your opinion on the subject. I'm always up for debate. For now, however, class is starting and I need to go.
