In another blatant example of the Obama administration’s “Do as I say, not as I do” Policy, the President wants to give the government a central role in determining your diet. We call it butting in where the government doesn’t belong, but health experts call it a new era of activism.
According to the Politico:
The president is filling top posts at Health and Human Services with officials who, in their previous jobs, outlawed trans fats, banned public smoking or required restaurants to provide a calorie count with that slice of banana cream pie.
Even Congress is getting into the act, giving serious consideration to taxing sugary drinks and alcohol to help pay for the overhaul.
To some, it smacks of a “nanny state on steroids” — but for others who fret that America is turning into one big Overeaters Anonymous meeting, Obama’s prescription is like a low-fat dream come true.
“He has expressed more interest in preventing diseases and promoting health than any previous president. It is not a breath of fresh air. It is a tornado,” said Michael Jacobson, executive director of the Center for Science in the Public Interest. “That contrast is breathtaking. This is really a rare opportunity to make progress on so many issues.”
So when they tell you what not to smoke, what not to drink, and what not to eat, keep these photos in mind.
Then smoke what you want, drink what you want, eat what you want. And in 2010, vote for what you want.

What are we supposed to eat while cheering on the Mudville Nine? Sushi??? NO F…ing Way.
It is all good for people in power to do as they like and everyone else must do as they are told. It is the same story over and over.
It’s typical of Democrats–here are their rules:
1. The ends justify the means.
2. The rules don’t apply to us.
3. Do as we say, not as we do.
