During her weekend ski vacation in Vail, Colo., First Lady Michelle Obama and her daughters feasted on ribs purported to pack a nutritional wallop of more than 1,500 calories and 140 grams of fat. As we all know, Obama has made nutrition and exercise cornerstones of her policy goals while in the White House. And while the Obamas also ate some veggies and undoubtedly got their day’s worth of exercise on the snowy slopes, is the dietary splurge a case of “eat as I say, not as I eat”?
On Monday, conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh pointed to the lavish meal as an example the First Lady not following her own advice:

Amazing. Another vacation all the way across the country at an exclusive resort. I’m sure glad they are living like the rest of us! Must be nice to be “rich”. How come they aren’t redistributing their money to the poor? Maybe instead of going on such lavish vacations they should try a vacation at home like the rest of us. …

Posted on February 24, 2011 at 2:51am@tower7femacamp – Mr Limbaugh‘s hypocrisy on drugs in no way lessens nor excuses Mrs Obama’s hypocrisy on nutrition. The main difference between the two is that while he may have ranted about drug law enforcement, she is actually causing regulations to be enacted and encouraging laws to be proposed to suit her stated views. He tried to influence peoples’ opinions by talking. She does not seem to care about any one’s opinions as long as that do what she thinks they ought to.
