First Lady Michelle Obama Called Out for 1,556 Calorie Fast Food Lunch at New Burger Restaurant

Media calls out First Lady Michelle Obama for eating 1,556 calorie fast food lunch as she pushes "Let's Move" anti-obesity campaign.

First Lady Michelle Obama is getting grief over "pigging out" at a new hamburger joint in Washington D.C. Mrs. O reportedly ordered a cheeseburger, french fries, chocolate shake and Diet Coke at the Shake Shack. According to MyFoxNY, the restaurant's website pegs the meal at 1,556 calories. The fallout of sorts is coming from her "Let's Move" anti-obesity campaign. Okay, here's the thing, done in moderation, nothing is wrong with having a cheeseburger every now and then. She did say she had a "weakness" for french fries. It's a tad bit disingenuous to be touting fitness and a healthy lifestyle while being constantly seen doing the opposite, but this is nothing new. I think the bigger argument is Sarah Palin having the nerve to say she thinks she could win the presidential election in 2012. Yeah, when donkeys fly.

Better yet, I think MyFoxNY has more to worry about, in light of the shameful and despicable hacking allegations leveled against the now-defunct News of the World newspaper and threatening to engulf News Corp. and Rupert Murdoch via his British holdings. The most damaging elements is that two of his newspapers targeted former P.M. Gordon Brown and Prince Charles. Makes one wonder what Murdoch and his sons have been up to with their U.S. holdings. If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, then it is a duck. One more -- where there's smoke, there is always a fire. Yeah, some of the same hacking mess more than likely occurred here too.
