Michelle Obamas #AskFlotus Twitter Fitness Campaign Yields Benghazi, Budget Questions

First Lady Michelle Obama recently asked people to voice their fitness questions on Twitter with the hashtag #AskFlotus, promising that she’d respond at 11:05 a.m. Monday morning.

Unfortunately, many Twitter users saw the #AskFlotus hashtag as an opportunity not to be missed, asking Mrs. Obama questions questions about her husband’s policies, Benghazi, and her relationship with Hollywood, among other things.

Twitchy compiled a number of the responses, and we’ve added a few of our own:

The First Lady did answer a number of #AskFlotus questions this morning, but declined to tackle those not rooted in fitness and nutrition.

#ASKflotus – Why do you let Susan Rice sleep with the POTUS? Bet she doesn’t have to eat bunny food to keep the rear bumper in check. How “encouraging” is Barry in wanting you to take all those separate vacation trips? Wonder what tips Tiger had for the POTUS? Just ask’n Flotus.

How much does it cost taxpayers for her to tweet?

You know she’s got to have a paid staff that advises her and assists her in “answering the mail” and such. The photo was probably taken when she sat for three seconds to pose, then left her staff to issue the correct PC responses while she left to go shopping….in Paris.

  Not just that. I’ll bet my bottom dollar she has a lightning quick super encrypted T1 connection.
  
  Do you have any idea how expensive those are? They are normally for businesses.
  
  @ASKFLOTUS: Will you be refunding the taxpayers the cost of answering these questions come 4/15/ 2014?

Ghetto hoochie just having a ball on the American’s back. Who cares, her marriage to King Kenyan Muslim is a total sham and she’s just playing a role. Just as he is.

Given the amount of gas that comes from her mouth, her moniker should be “askflatus!”

I’ve seen wookies that turn me on more than the FLOTUS. No wonder POTUS likes to vacation separately and with hot chick magnet Tiger.

It is hysterically funny to watch someone with a butt six lanes wide give advice on what to eat. I’ll bet she writes her crap while munching on left over Twinkies.

  Well given the Houston Mayor’s size (Ms. Porker) I’d say it runs in the party line…

This might be off topic, so what. If The Blaze is compelled to put these stupid articles up about Chris Rock’s mommy & daddy then they have to deal with irate readers venting. I didn’t and won’t read this article so it makes me vacant and shallow I do not care. Call me racist I do not care I am American and if these peoples efforts were good for all of American not just inner city people I would be behind them one-hundred percent however I can spot a liar a mile away.
For 8 years I will not have a president much less his uh- wife as FLOTUS, my wife is my First Lady as far as I am concerned. I have never listened to a complete sentence bho has spoke much less his concubine. I flip the channel on him when he is on the news or any other media outlet he is not allowed on our tv. So mo doesn’t have a chance to get a word in edge-wise. I simply say ‘No.’
No worries I will always remember this dictator for giving my former employer TARP money so that hundreds could be laid off without warning.

Drones have just been updated with 9 new coordinance for the FLOTUS kill list.
If you know these people, keep your distance for awhile until this thing blows over.

  The left! MSNBC, ABC, NBC, CBS, PBS, Al Jazira, Alan Colms, Chris Mathews, Pierce Morgan, Mica, and I could go on and on but time doesn’t permit.

We the people determine collectively need to create a law that holds our elected officials responsible to laws they pass that exempts them from personal responsibility. We need to create a law that holds elected officials responsible to the CITIZENS safety criminally and civility. Meaning…if they take our guns away and your family member is killed because they could not protect themselves by their own choice, the elected official is held responsible for their death criminally and civility. This would stop of lot of the BS of trying to take our God Given Rights to protect ourselves. The people we elect have put themselves on a pedestal and think they are better…they serve the people, not themselves. Also, if you want to work in the government, you need to produce your financial statement when you are elected and when you leave. If you are not a millionaire when you are elected, YOU SHOULD NOT BE ONE WHEN YOU LEAVE!!

  I love seeing Mr & Mrs Prez get impaled on their own swords. May they burn with anger over these tweets to the end they actually say what is in their hearts instead of offering a myriad of clever lies as cover.
