How come Michelle Obama thinks obesity is a 'national security issue' yet enforcing our immigration law isn't?
Where do these people come from?!?

I would like to frame this great question!

Obesity kills as many as 400,000 Americans a year. Al Qaeda haven't killed even 10% of that number since 9/11.

When did Michelle Obama say that enforcing immigration law isn't a national security issue? Oh, never? Got it.
And childhood obesity is a national security issue according to retired military leaders from across the political spectrum. The group is called Mission: Readiness, and they base their conclusion on evidence and research unlike a certain "nemesis" who clearly has waaaay to high an opinion of themself.
Finally, who are "these people" to whom you refer? Michelle Obama was born in Chicago.
Grow up and do something productive for once. Otherwise, your life will be empty and unfulfilling.
That is all.

Because if too many Liberals DIE of obesity, President Barry won't get a 2nd term !! And not enforcing immigration allows more future state-dependent illegals to vote (illegally) for the Democrats who support them.

I found what you are talking about, but a link in the future would help.
Anyway, it's all rhetoric. They think we aren't listening, that we are apathetic and lazy. They are so out of touch with the real American it's a crying shame.
Personally, I could care less what she says. When she talks about not liking this country, that the people are mean, well she shut me off right then and there.

Every terrorist that has/has tried to attack us has came here and flown here legally. Meanwhile obesity takes up the greatest share of health care costs.

I think you are making up quotes again. Shame shame. Obesity is a huge problem, our immigration issues really haven't killed anyone yet, not that it isn't an issue it's not the biggest killer. So I applaud her for standing up against the corporate sludge bucket. We NEED better food out there people! Do you realize the younger generation may have an 80% diabetes rate by 2050 if we keep going this way?

Can you connect me to your source? Because I don't recall her ever making statements such as this. And since when is it the job of the First Lady to enforce laws or make policy??

Did she really say that enforcing our immigration law isn't important? Or is that just another Republican lie along with death panels, global cooling, etc?
Thanks for supporting Obama. Don't think you are? Guess again.

That is a lie.
Find me the quote or clip where Michelle Obama states that enforcing immigration law isn't a national security issue.
