Obama countdown

Do as I do, cuz I'm the greatest

Seriously. 
We get nagged to work out.
We get nagged to eat what THEY want us to eat (but not what they eat.)
We get nagged to not burn carbon (not the way they do).
What's next?
  A government "suggestion" to start drinking breast milk because it builds immunity? (On a side note, my father had a funny story about a friend who got tricked into eating a breast milk brownie. He was full of hawhawhaws about it. Methinks the story would have been quite different if he'd been the tricked and not the observer.)
  Shapiro at Politics Daily has an intriguing piece up about Obama's repeated "encouragement" that his staff work out regularly. 
  Remember when the MSM followed Bush's workouts? They were a source of mockery, "creepy." 
  They gave cause to suggest that the commander in chief wasn't doing his job.
  Here we have a fellow who parties up to 4-5 times a week, golfs regularly, looks unhealthily skinny (sorry. That bare chested Obama picture was a grossout.)
  Should we all just ask, What's next, Barack, that you want everyone to do to emulate you? What's next, Michelle, that you want everyone to do to be just like you?
  We're very happy you're so happy with yourselves that you want to share the wealth lifestyle.
  Here's Walter:
Without getting too legalistic, presidential comments like these might be construed as creating a hostile work environment for couch potatoes and exercise-phobes. But, of course, this anecdote and others like it were peddled to make the president look a nurturing boss deeply concerned with the physical well-being of his over-taxed staff. As Susan Sher, Michelle Obama's former chief of staff, told the Times about the fitness fervor of the first family, "They know how hard their staffs are working, so they really want to encourage some balance."
  We realize we're bordering on being whiners here, considering this is the second post in a row about why, why, why the government takes such a delight in harassing our daily lives and acting like Aunt Nellies when it comes to daily commitments.
  Maybe when we all get government paid personal trainers we'll stop whining.
  Which is probably about as delusional as Charlie Sheen.
