Janice I would like to know where you're getting your information and can you back it up with fact. I would think if what you're saying is true, FOX News and Rush would have been all over it. Afterall they jump at every chance to discredit the President & First Lady. So will you please post your facts backing up what you're saying of overweight children being taken from their families please. Facts that we all can go back and research and find out for ourselves please. Thank you so much I look forward to reading your next post with all of the info.

we know that First Ladies typically take on a 'cause', but at a time when our country is in 2 wars, Mrs. Obama could have taken on many more popular causes and did this one which means so much to my family and to millions more! Although there are those who have not supported the Wars (as we have not), we do support our troops and appreciate Mrs. Obama in her efforts as well. Thank you!

First off, Michelle Obama had zero to do with anyone being taken from their home due to obesity. That charge is ridiculous and you know it, Janice.

Mrs. Obama has more class in her pinkie finger than all you whiners combined. She's the epitome of class and dignity. I know, I know, you'll need to dig out the ol' Websters now to look up "epitome", but maybe you get the gist of it just by context alone.

That said: The only ugly people I see here are Janice and Al. Ugly inside, which is where it matters. I bet you both profess to be Christian, too. That special brand of Christian, the one that runs on hatred of anyone that isn't JUST like you, and doesn't worship the same God you do. Frankly, I don't recognize the God you worship; the one I do is ashamed of your behavior.

I'll stick with Michelle Obama, thanks. I'd rather spend eternity with her than one hour with the likes of you two.

Michelle Obama is an idiot. Because of her campaign against obeseity there have been many kids pulled from thier homes and placed in Foster homes.

While obesity needs to be addressed, separating kids and parents is not acceptable.

She is one ugly and large women herself.

Bogus story. She's got to be one of the most prissy women I've ever seen.

Definitely in way above her head.

Mean woman with an never ending credit limit.

Laura Bush is 10 times the woman she is.

Unless ya'll are talking about the homosexual vets. Bet they love her.

Of course I bet her husband really dislikes homosexual vets, he's just afraid to lose their votes.

Yeah Right - these major organizations and former officials quoted by name are all lying. There is no other answer right? You sound like high school mean girls and show about the same maturity level.

How petty, vicious and disgraceful you all are. You know nothing but hate and envy. As if it has to be the Bush's OR the Obama's (I have always loved Laura Bush), as if one hacked off vet represents anything - at some point you might want to attempt at growing up.

Be gracious, mature - for once. You might actually like it.

These comments say absolutely NOTHING about the first lady or supporting vets at all and everything about how very small you are.

"First bee keeper"? She no more tends bees than I do! Beekeeping is a filthy, ongoing job, she does not do this. Anyone who's ever gardened knows she doesn't do this either; too many vacations for one reason. President George W. Bush and his gracious wife Laura have been and continue to be constant in their support and love for the troops. What a waste of space this drivel of an article is!

This is the most crass and misleading article I think I've ever read. The headline intimates veterans are gaga over Michelle Obama, and then it purports to verify that ridiculously asinine statement by citing Jill Biden and company, a former Secretary of the Navy, and the spokesman for the International Franchise Association. You left out one rather important set of people to interview: Veterans.

Bedard and Fox have shamelessly plopped their names on the byline presenting the words following as truth and nothing but. In point of fact, nothing could be further. Rank and file veterans are as likely to laud Michelle Obama with the "best ever" title as she is the United States as a country of which she can be proud. You two aren't journalists, your typists, disingenuous typists at that.
