“I had a great day yesterday. Breakfast with friends, a couple of productive meetings, caught up on laundry and some much needed errands. The weather was about perfect, warm breezes and sunny skies. A sense of wellbeing flooded me for a brief moment,” Mrs. Brown wrote in her letter to the editor. “I realized that I have been living with the impending sense of catastrophe for 5 years. Will the banks close? Will the internet go silent? Will my healthcare stop meeting my needs? Will my grandchildren be brainwashed? Will we let the United Nations have control over us? Will the stock market crash? “We are on the brink of the fundamental changes that we were promised and it scares the heck out of me.”
“Students from around the nation have been taking to Twitter and other social media sites to post snapshot photos of their meager lunches — in some cases, a sad-looking sandwich with a carton of milk — and say to the first lady: Thanks a lot, Michelle Obama, for the nasty rations. “One wrote, next to a picture of a hot dog roll that seemed spread with tomato sauce and cheese, on a tray with three small cherry tomatoes and a carton of lower-fat milk: “You call this a [expletive] lunch? @BarackObama @MichelleObama,” The Times reported. “And others were just as blunt in expressing disapproval. “Next to a picture of a plastic white tray containing a small roll and a messy-looking concoction of what appeared to be mashed potatoes, scrambled hamburger and corn, another wrote: “@MichelleObama so this is the ‘healthy school lunch’ …” “Another picture of a flat sandwich that seemed to be a hamburger on a tray with a cut kiwi half and a packet of ketchup was posted by a parent who attended school lunch with her child and then tweeted: “@MichelleObama my school lunch while eating with my daughter. Only other choice was a scoop of salad. This is sad!” “COMMENTS: “Meanwhile, at the White House there are $100,000 to $500,000 meals for visiting dignitaries and guests. “It is all about "white privilige" and how the white brain is very smart especially with proper nutrition. So the Common Core dumbs them down and destroys their confidence and the fluoride makes their brains soft and legal marijuana puts them into a zombie state and a poor diet causes their brains to remain un developed. So much envy Moochella has with her steak and lobster.” “This is a form of "child neglect" and "child abuse" and it is wrong. Mrs. Obama needs to be brought up on charges. It is contributing to the poor health of defenseless children. Many who only have a decent school lunch & late dinner to keep them going all day.” Some parents worry that Michelle Obama school lunches are deliberately made unappealing in order to demoralize their school children. Michelle Obama who has no credentials in food and nutrition is the very essence of the word she’s trying to ban: “Bossy”.It seems that both Obamas live to crush all hope for better days. But there is a message of hope in both the Mrs. Brown letter and in the snapshots sent out from hungry school children. Hope is riding in on Spring. As Mrs. Brown wrote in her letter: “The weather was about perfect, warm breezes and sunny skies. A sense of wellbeing flooded me for a brief moment.” That sense of wellbeing that flooded Mrs. Brown for a moment should be nourished to last throughout the summer and fall as a time to prepare for November midterms--a prime time to start clearing out the DC swamp. Long winters with depressing lunches will end in summer vacations for school children who will spend their holidays eating lunches prepared by loving mothers, rather than ones imposed by a politician using kids for publicity leverage. Spring 2014 is a nightmare for Barack and Michelle Obama because so many everyday people see it as the beginning of the long way back to what America was before January 20, 2009.
