Hypocrisy? Obamas Celebrate Thanksgiving With 6 Different Pies

Nov. 23, 2012 8:34pm Mytheos Holt

Michelle Obama’s obesity crusade might be in full swing throughout the country, but that didn’t stop the First Lady from serving up a meal just as fattening as any readers could hope for.

Obamas Celebrate Thanksgiving With 6 Different Kinds of Pie

According to Yahoo News, the President’s family served up a delectable combination of dishes for him and for 10 military service members, a meal whose menu included the following:

•             Turkey

•             Ham

•             Cornbread Stuffing

•             Oyster Stuffing

•             Greens

•             Macaroni and cheese

•             Sweet Potatoes

•             Mashed Potatoes

•             Green Bean Casserole

•             Dinner Rolls

Dessert:

•             Banana Cream Pie

•             Pumpkin Pie

•             Apple Pie

•             Sweet Potato Pie

•             Huckleberry Pie

•             Cherry Pie

Hypocritical? Almost certainly. However, with a menu like that, it’s not difficult to see why the President might come in fourth as a preferred celebrity Thanksgiving guest for most Americans. If nothing else, he apparently knows what foods will go over well.

My family sat down to two home raised geese, romaine and red beet salad, Chinese long beans in homemage shitake mushroom soup with fried shallots on top, corn bread stuffing, and roasted brussel sprouts, potatoes, carrots, onions, and garlic……..

It seems that my dinner had more green vegetables than hers.

Oh year, the reason for roast goose for dinner? My son brought 8 goslings home in the spring, and we turned them loose in the yard as weeders…..but over the summer, they got mean……so we ate two of them for Thanksgiving, and we’ll eat the rest soon.

  We are having our main Thanksgiving dinner on Sunday due to scheduling constraints.
  
  We are having: Turkey, Ham, Hot Jambalaya, Fruit Pizza, Pistachio Salad, Suddenly Salad, Various Pickles and Olives, King’s Hawaiian Dinner Rolls, Beer, Brandy, Pumpkin and Apple Pie. Not to mention Whole Milk because I WILL NOT drink that watered down crap.
  
  I think I covered pretty much everything on the menu.
  
  PLUS! ALL The Grand Kids are coming over too.

  Conservatives lost because more Americans are more concerned about getting their free obama phone (or equivalent) than voting for a person who will fix what is wrong with our country. Romney was not my favorite, but he was right that 47% vote to keep the government teat to suck on.
  
  You can be smug Biff (what an appropriate name) about your progressive party forcing its unconstitutional laws on us, but a civil war is coming to America. You are going to be literally biffed when all hell breaks loose. The MAKERS of this country have had enough and you TAKERS will very soon find that the golden goose that pays your way is going to stop laying.

  Another reason is vote fraud, as outlined in another article found on this website. As Hugh Hewitt once said, “if it’s not close, they can’t cheat”. The remarkable thing is: liberal Democrats believe themselves to have the moral high ground, and because they believe this, they think they are justified in winning through slander, illegal campaign practices, and voter fraud. Make sense to anyone? If it does, you’re apparently a Democrat……….

By talking about the 47% which you all are probably included in makes you feel good to belittle some one else. Further more KISS President Obama and the First Lady ASS.

  Laura Bush was a lady and didn’t dicatate to people like a royal QUEEN. And she never hated or was embarassed to be an American either. The wookie that’s standing in as first lady today is a controlling creature who thinks that flag ceremonies honoring our vets is overdone. And I think Laura Bush had a great backside. Moochelle is nothing but junk.

Thanksgiving celebration ignoring the spirit of the first thanksgiving family dinner of the founding fathers.Is it a hypocrisy or a deliberate non-Christian celebration. This farce of a celebration comes after the so-called ceasefire orchestrated by Obama. Obama has played his game well, saying one thing, while doing another, mouthing his support while driving Israel back into the bloody peace of the ceasefire. And so there is peace again. The peace of the rocket aimed at a school and the peace of the bus bombing. The peace of television programs teaching children to kill Jews and the peace of rockets being smuggled through tunnels. The peace of knives in the dark and bullets fired at cars on lonely roads. The peace of mosques that cry, “Death to the Jews” and the peace of terrorists going about their industry of death.This is the peace that Obama has given Israel with his ceasefire. The peace of victimhood. The peace of death.And to crown it insulting the tradition of Thanksgiving honored by millions of Americans.

Okay so the Great Michelle has convinced the school systems to feed out kids hummus, black beans and carrots (which most won’t touch) while she feeds her family 6 pies and lets not forget the mac and cheese. I do think kids should eat healthy but I don’t believe its the governments job to force it down their throats. Then you see what she feed her family …Just saying..
