It is one thing to promote and encourage people toward a healthier lifestyle than to force people. This is true with anything. I have been a health advocate most of my life before it became so fashionable. I have encouraged my friends and family and talked about the choices they have. Over time I have seen many of them change their lives and become healthier. Sometimes it takes a gentle nudge and people will move, not laws and force. Taking things away with such drastics measures causing people to rebel regardless of their age. I would like to ask Mrs. Obama if she were so interested in this country's obesity and moving why did she not get a degree in that area? I wonder if she will still be as interested once she leaves the WH?

Yes, yes and yes! Obama's followers are on an emotional bandwagon when it comes to this guy. That includes the mainstream media. They want so much for him to succeed but it is not happening. At some point people must be honest with themselves and say I had hope for this guy but it did not work out so we must move on for the sake of the country.

Thank you. The Democrats are intentionally avoiding these facts and the average Demo voter does not know these facts at all and probably wouldn't care until already bad economy hits them personally and much harder.

Who will inherit Obama's mess?

I would hope that all of these people who continue to blame Bush have much more important things going on in their personal lives than hanging on to this one thing. Perhaps if there had been voter IDs these accusations would not have occurred. You would think the people who are against voter ID would welcome it.

I would hate to see the streets if what you suggest or your President suggested would happen. Some things are best left along if it is for the greater good and it works. Amendments should and have been made when appropriate. This President had the very opportunity you are talking about for two years. he could have done several things with a Demo House and Senate. He did nothing. If you want a lose cannon of a country then maybe you should consider moving to Europe.

Keep speaking up Mr. West.

This guy, Obama, is a master at playing on people's emotions. It is sickening to watch the crowds with their tongues hanging out in his presence as he leads America to the slaughter. He doesnt need a plan, He only needs to get a hook in his follower's nose and lead them wherever without them asking, "Where are we going?"

Don't forget the price of gas as a deterent. I travel quite a distance to volunteer but as gas continues to spiral I am thinking I can't afford to volunteer. I am looking for a place closer to home but have found nothing thus far. Some of my senior friends are returning to work due to the economy.

Yes, I agree. If the Anti-ALEC people can obtain this information and use it why can't this informaton be more publicized to counteract their actions. Are companies that afraid that they will cower down tothe pressure? The companie should speak out and let the public know what is happening to them and then let the people take action. Conservatives need to stop being afraid of these political bullies.
