BURBANK, Calif. (The Blaze/AP) — Jay ate the veggies.
First lady Michelle Obama cajoled Jay Leno into nibbling on apples, sweet potato fries and a pizza made with eggplant, green peppers and zucchini on the “Tonight Show,” breaking his long-held aversion for all-things-healthy in his diet.
Leno once told a magazine he hadn’t eaten a vegetable since 1969, and he insisted he tasted his last apple in 1984. That didn’t dissuade the first lady, who’s promoting her “Let’s Move!” campaign to get kids excited about fitness and healthy eating habits.
Earlier, Obama poked at him in a Twitter post, hinting she’d “get Jay to eat some veggies” on the NBC show.
He did.

“That does smell very good. I assume this is sausage-pepperoni,” the comedian quipped as he eyed the pizza made with a whole-wheat crust.
She convinced Leno to dip an apple in honey made from beehives in the White House garden: “It will help it go down easier,” she assured him.
“White House honey? That sounds bad,” Leno told her. “You know, with a different president that could mean a whole different thing, `a little White House honey.’”
Watch this dialogue, below:
The first lady is on a two-day swing through California where she’ll promote her initiative while attending two events to help Democrats raise money for the upcoming elections.
She told Leno she‘s not doing anything special to prepare for what’s expected to be a tough re-election campaign for her husband, President Barack Obama.
“You know, there’s really no way to mentally prepare for it. You take each day as it comes,” she said.
Republican Mitt Romney has been ridiculing the White House and might face the president in November, but the first lady graded the former Massachusetts governor’s singing voice with something like a sly endorsement. Romney surprised supporters in Florida with an on-pitch version of “America the Beautiful” on Monday, and Leno asked the first lady for her opinion.
See Romney singing here:
“It’s beautiful,” she said after a pregnant pause, with a laugh and raised eyebrows. “And it is America’s song, and it‘s a song that’s meant to be sung by every American,” the first lady said in a taped appearance for the NBC show.
Watch Obama comment about Romney’s performance:
Leno told her, “That is right, regardless of political affiliation.”
But she swooned over her husband’s singing - Obama took a brief turn as a soul singer earlier this month at a New York fundraiser, crooning a bar from an Al Green classic. She says he does a little Marvin Gaye, too.
Here‘s her husband’s ballad:
“He does have a beautiful voice, and he sings to me all the time,” she told Leno.

Posted on February 1, 2012 at 9:20amThis woman makes me sicker and sicker every single day. She needs to be IN THE GHETTO’s telling THEM how to feed THEIR children, not ours.
Don’t you love how they take those urban problems and extrapolate them across the entire American population, when it’s about 10 % of it who live and act this way, overfeeding their children on fast food and junk so they have crack, smack and 40 oz dough like the rest of us live that way TOO!!!
That way they don‘t hurt THEIR feelings but our feelings be damnnnnnned since we take care of our children and don’t cast em off like a used car at “birfffff” as so, so many of “Holder’s people” do as HE CALLED THEM.

I don’t believe that.
I hope that apple was checked for pesticides, was union grown,
was from a farm that donated to Obama, using all carbon free fuels,
and was grown using non-hybrid seeds.
And was it picked by illegal aliens?
Was the tree watered using only spring water?

Posted on February 1, 2012 at 1:23pmYea…look at the picture where she is with leno….she’s laughing and clapping…..in her mind saying….”I laugh right in their face…cause I’m going to get 4 more years to screw them and take so many vacations they(us) won’t know what hit them right between their whitey eyes”. She is 100% racists. Her writings in college tell it all. Huge chip on her shoulder. She went to very exclusive colleges and she is very very bitter? That says a lot. No matter what she is given, or better yet, what she takes with the I’m-entitled-mentality, she will always want more….it will never stop for her. Remember, she is only proud of her Country when her radical husband is in office destroying our Country, otherwise, we can all go to……. you know where.

Posted on February 1, 2012 at 9:17am1. I cannot believe so many people have this “white guilt” about Barry and his no-account wife. That they can get away with ridiculous behavior and even have a CHANCE at a second term is testimony to the total clueless minds of the masses out there – and they are OUT there.
2. Michelle Obama – if the masses only KNEW how much of fraud she really is, would laugh at her misdirection of this silly “dieting” crap, and focus on what truly matters. Instead, the masses throne-lick, and choose style (using the word loosely) over substance.
I say it again; to get Barry out of the White House is going to take grass-roots support and networking from one to another to VOTE him OUT on election day. To tell them to look at the facts, not what’s “told” to them.
Rush Limbaugh published the “Obama Agony Index” in his recent letter.
I think it bears airing here.

Posted on February 1, 2012 at 8:46amTruly disgusting. Obama and his old lady have to go on entertainment television stations to try to muster up some support by being “cool”. They know nothing about the economy, American Leadership, and anything else American for that matter. Both have never owned, managed a business or balanced a budget and they are the fiscal leaders of this country. How stupid Americans are to elect nobody’s in this position. This is total irresponsibility on American Voters and they will pay the consequences in the years to come to a lower standard of living which is Obama’s goal. He wants all middle class people to live as the *****’s live,,,,in poverty and on food stamps and welfare.
