    Michelle Obama branded a 'hypocrite' for 'eating ribs on ski vacation'

    New York, Feb 21 (ANI): US First Lady Michelle Obama has been slammed after she was reportedly spotted in Colorado snacking on some calorie laden short ribs.

    In his radio show, Rush Limbaugh lashed out at Mrs Obama, saying that the vacation dinner went against the First Lady's emphasis on promoting nutrition and exercise.

    "The problem is, and dare I say this, it doesn't look like Michelle Obama follows her own nutritionary, dietary advice," the New York Daily News quoted him as saying.

    "And then we hear that she's out eating ribs at 1,500 calories a serving with 141 grams of fat per serving ... I'm trying to say that our First Lady does not project the image of women that you might see on the cover of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue or of a woman Alex Rodriguez might date every six months or what have you."

    When a Colorado newspaper published the diet report, she was at a Vail resort skiing with daughters Sasha and Malia. She took them to Restaurant Kelly Liken in Vail Village on weekend, according to Vail Daily, where she ate a braised ancho-chile short rib with hominy wild mushrooms and sauteed kale. She also began the meal with a pickled pumpkin salad with arugala.

    "Yes, it's true, the first lady dined at our restaurant tonight and seemed to really enjoy it," restaurant chef and owner Kelly Liken told the newspaper.

    Limbaugh suggested he just didn't think the Obamas were following their own advice.

    "She's a hypocrite. Leaders are supposed to be leaders. If we're supposed to go out and eat nothing, if we're supposed to eat roots and berries and tree bark, show us how," he added. (ANI)

      This article is about Obama eating what she wants. Not what Rush or Beck or anyone else eats.
      The content of the article is about her eating fatty foods when all the time this administration has put forth the effort to remove fatty foods from store shelves, tax other fatty foods higher than they should be and even hammer food producers to remove certain foods from production all in the effort to control what people eat.
      If this is not control, why have a higher tax?
      You know it's about removing the individual rights to choose. Period.
      We should all have the right to choose what we want to eat without criticism from anyone, even Obama.

      So so had ribs, OMG!!!! Geez, doesn't means she eats unhealthy things 24/7. What's she saying is what is TRUE!!! The U.S. in general is an obese nation, which needs to change. Everyone can incorporate a healthy balance of food intake; you can eat everything in moderation; drink more water; work in regular exercise.....start by walking more!
      • America Minds 1 year 1 month ago
        OMG!!! Are you kidding me?
        Its ok for this admin to choose for Americans what they can eat and what they cannot eat?
        And its ok for the first lady to eat what she wants as long as she doesnt over do it?
        Very cool, I like that. For her and all Americans.
        The government has no right to take the rights to choose away from Americans in the form of higher taxes for certain foods, not to mention McDonalds cant even put a toy in Happy meals anymore, and Captn Crunch is on the admins hit list!

      Give me a break. She should be allowed to eat whatever she wants, and besides, the meal doesn't sound that bad for you. Everyone eats stuff that tastes good and has a lot of calories once in a while. For that fat slob pig to say anything is a disgrace. I'm sure the first lady exercises whereas fat blowhard does not. If you move your body you can enjoy yourself once in a while. Flapping your jaw doesn't count.
    • felicia  •  1 year 3 months ago
      So healthy people never ever eat unhealthy foods? You are living an unrealistic lifestyle, and must be insane! Just because Michelle Obama is not an anorexic size 1, does not mean she's fat. Check out the First Lady's fabulous arms, you haters!
    • Mikey  •  1 year 3 months ago
      manchester, if she is "thin" then you must like BIG Bootie! She is thin like a heifer is thin.

      First of all We think Rush Limbaugh should be watching what his wife eat and if she is Healthy, keep his eyes of the President Wife, what his Obsess with First Lady. Who every wrote this article should do they home work, Kelly Liken said it's true First Lady did eat a short Rib, about 6 Ozs, about the size of a card, which mounted to 60 Calories, Kale is nothing more then Cabbage, Pumpkin Salad kelly said most of the Vegtable came from the School children Garden, Oh yes what the Writer forgot to write Kelly Liken added that First Lady did eat with a Fork and Knife, just in case some one wanted to know. Rush Limbaugh the Fat Lard Butt Jelly Donut sagging Eating Pig Need to keep his eyes on his wife and keep his eyes of the President Wife, Rush and Glenn Beck is Obsess with the President Wife, when they have wives, we don't see what Rush Wife see in him except Money, We say Rush get over the President Wife, she's in good shape and have a beautiful figure.
      • America Minds 1 year 1 month ago
        Rush or Beck never tried to tax certain foods or ban them.
        Nor did either one every say they were going to change the way Americans eat.
        Untill then, this article is about what what the first lady is saying and doing.
        Dont spin it any other way, it doesn't work. Not for me anyway.
        Try another one.

      You guy who believe she is wrong for eating what she wants are rediculous... She can eat what she wants because she burns off what she puts in her mouth. That is the whole point if you can't work it off don't eat it. She wants ribs? Fine she will do what she needs to do to get it off. There are a few of us who need to watch our diet and some of us who don't I'm not going to fault her for wanting those who need to watch what they eat to do so. It's their health and quality of life not her's. She's grown and an adult who can make her own decisions for those who can't or were not taught to eat right or what to eat they need help. Rush is jealous, He acts just like and alcoholic who can't drink anymore and can't stand to be around others who do. Get over it. If I could eat the way I want I would I know I'm limited due to my own not moving and working on keeping myself as healthy as I need to be. She's just trying to stop early deaths because some of the parents don't know how to feed their children correctly and get them out the house. I can actually say my children were taught correctly even if I wasn't.

        Everyone else should have the same rights also.

      No one's perfect. There's nothing wrong with the first lady advocating for and helping others become educated about better nutrition. Positive change starts with education. She never said she'd come into anyone's home and control every bite that goes into their mouth. And she never claimed to always eat perfect herself. She's just trying to help empower those who have the wish to help themselves to do so. If she doesn't eat the best foods always, it's because she's not perfect -- and neither is anyone else. To Rush: Get over it. We're all in this game together and we can either support one another or just waste time tearing each other down.

      Who is Rush to comment on the First Ladies' meal choices? I'll give M.O. a pass. She is thin and in good shape. She can eat ribs whenever she wants.

      That's rich, coming from an obese drug addict! Lamebaugh failed to mention that Michelle's meal was at the end of a day full of snow skiing, so she lost, very conservatively, at least 1500 calories that day. Of course, that fat slob Limpballs wouldn't understand this; I'm sure he hasn't moved faster than a snail in about 30 years!
    • jacky  •  1 year 3 months ago
      did this guy look in the mirror himself before he started talking about Michelle Obama? seriously, this is pure stupidity and he have the nerve to make a comment on Michelle when he look like he never been at the gym ever in his life. like i said, pure stupidity.
    • elilybelle  •  1 year 3 months ago
      um! let's see if you eat right and work out, should you never be allowed to splurge every once in a while. I think it was fine of her to spluge, It' obvious she doesn't do this all the time and follows her own advice when did this country get so critical.
    • James L  •  1 year 3 months ago
      Type in Rush Limbaugh and look up images. Notice the first word after his name, ha ha ha. What an idiot.
    • Xana Du  •  1 year 3 months ago
      Eating healthy does not necessarily mean one has to eat green salads and lo-cal fat free dressing exclusively, 3 times a day. We all can eat some of the 'no-no' foods now and then. It's when ALL you eat are the 'no-no' foods as apparently Lush Rimballs does, at least from his appearance. And Mrs. Obama had been skiing that day and burned off more calories in a few hours than Limp Rushgut does in a month.

      The dumbed down public likes to eat roots as the divine politicos gorge like swine at the trough. I would prefer to see them in their pig pens and throw them a few corn cobs.
    • A Yahoo! User  •  1 year 3 months ago
      Rush is someone who recognized the hypocracy of the current adminstration that says do as I say not as I do.

      She has the nerve to try to push laws that dictate how we and our children eat and that Brasillian Transvestite Wookie eats a side of a cow.

      To hell with that fat slob. Hopefully she'll choke on a rib bone... how would that be for irony?
    • Annette  •  1 year 3 months ago
      Well youknow what I think Mrs Obma have you ever been in a place where you did not have food in your home or know someone who was starving and did not have the food to even feed their children, I have been their done that I almest was homeless as welluntil some kind hearted person saw that I was trying to keep things at bay worked not one job but 2 jobs now I cant work but I will never forget those who was out their to help me so if our children our l little over weight so be it they will loose it just have a little faith. Stop looking on the food the we eat because so of us dont have the food to eat and when we do we are going to eat thank you for your time
    • rob  •  1 year 3 months ago
      It's none of her business what I eat either. Tell her to keep her nose out of my business and I'll keep mine out of hers.
    • HopeChangeInAZ  •  1 year 3 months ago
      I don't know why this is such a surprise. The first lady isn't exactly that svelte in the first place. Plus it is quite typical for liberals to NOT practice what they preach since the rules apply to everyone else first. What I don't understand is she knows she is under a microscope and she must know that this would generate some buzz given her school lunch program so what was she thinking? Did she not care or did she think she was untouchable? In either case it strikes me as your typical liberal arrogance.

      What I really find aggravating is the double standard in the media. If a Republican pulled this kind of hypocrisy, they would be beating that drum all over the airwaves but nary a peep when it is the Obamas. No wonder their credibility is in the crapper!
