"Any health care reform plan that Obama signs is almost certain to call for nutrition counseling, obesity screenings and wellness programs at workplaces and community centers."

Does he really think the UAW will accept these infringements on their workers rights? Try telling a Detroit-er he can't have his Coney Island Dog and an Ohioan that he can't have his chili and see how far you get.

Better think again Libby's. Obama can promote it, but he'll never get it legislated.

As the article says, no one is being forced to do anything.

I look forward to Rush et al.'s takes on this...and to seeing how fast you all fall into line.

Unfortunately for you, I don't listen to Rush. Can't say that i've ever heard more than one hour of his show in its entire existence.

Barack Obama says shape up now - Carrie Budoff Brown - POLITICO.com

Why dont we have the gov provide food for you? I mean to heck with you eatting what you wish lets have the gov tell us how and what to do. Since we arent intelligent enough to make the choice ourselves.

I wouldnt ask someone else to do what I wouldnt do I meant Im sure all the Rush fans will be creating impassioned threads here parroting him soon enough.

But I'd ALMOST listen to hear what he has to say about this. Maybe the transcript later, those are hard enough to suffer through.

You don't think Rush is in favor of dietary advice?

dellusional post, dellusional thread.

I actually agree that Americans treat their bodies like sewer disposals.
Is that Barack Obama's or any governments business?

It is not a national security issue. Our Military has a great BT program that would eliminate any fat asses from being our defenders.
