What a joke---that Obama begins 'life style modifications.' The Right has been trying to do that for decades with social issues like abortion and religion. Life style modification is nothing new and includes zoning laws, anti-smoking laws and things like no liquor sales on Sundays.

When I was a kid milk, apples, and raisins were brought into the schools for the first time for nutritional supplements because during the draft of WWII they found out that too many young men had rickets and couldn't qualify for serve. The obesity problem today with young people is said to be as bad as rickets was back then from a military readiness stand point. Sometimes government intervention/education is the only way to resolve these kinds of issues.

Based on this administrations epic failures we surely cannot trust them to tell us what to do when they cannot do anything right themselves.

Why follow idiots who cannot make a good decision on anything they do?
So your view is that until the Democrats start acting like Republicans you're going to go ahead and lie about everything the Democrats do.

that's exactly what I thought.

Why do you welcome this president attempting to force lifestyle control down your throats? That is not the government's job. Why do you on the left so willingly give your freedoms away and let the bureaucrats control your lives? Are you that weak you need the government to tell you what to eat and how to exercise?

The morons in DC are letting the greatest ecological disaster ever to take place go on and on, and yet you nitwits on the left want to let them run your lives. You truly are sheep.
Why do you on the right so willingly give your freedoms away by allowing and encouraging corporations to include any additives, etc. regardless of nutritional value as long as it keeps their shareholders happy and makes them money?
Are you so weak that you will accept anything the corporatists feed you?

You should get appointed to that council. You're a great champion of all things Obama.

The government will know who is exercising or not. They'll be able to track it.
It will be part of the HC program.

There is plenty of information available already, and they don't take advantage of it -- not because they don't know, but because they just don't care. The only way to get them to do it is to make it enforceable. For that, we need government.

Anything Obama does is not for OUR good, but for power. Remember that.
He's not our benevolent kind daddy looking out for our best interests.
