On Tuesday, the office of First Lady Michelle Obama sponsored several conference calls featuring administration officials discussing Mrs. Obama’s “Let’s Move!” campaign to combat childhood obesity but “with listen-only lines for the media,” according to The Washington Daybook. On Wednesday, Mrs. Obama personally conducted a conference call for “online media” that was “by invitation only,” according to the Daybook.
Traditionally, conference calls that public figures in Washington, D.C. hold for the media–which, obviously, are designed to get media attention for the public figure–allow the reporters who join the call to ask at least a few questions.
The Washington Daybook is a service widely used by Washington, D.C., news organizations that provides detailed schedules and contact information for federal government events and federal officials at least a day ahead of time.
The Daybook sent out on the afternoon of Monday, Feb. 7, said that on the afternoon of Feb. 8 the office of First Lady Michelle Obama would be sponsoring a series of conference calls on the first anniversary of her “Let’s Move” campaign that would feature U.S. Surgeon General Regina Benjamin, Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack, Interior Secretary Ken Salazar, San Antonio Mayor Julian Castro and Flint, Mich., Mayor Dayne Walling. The Daybook listed as the contact for these conference calls the “First Lady’s Press Office.”

Mrs. OB needs to be concerned about her own obesity. Quit dictating to others. Yes, she is or at least appears to be 20 or more lbs. overweight.
Thank you for stating the obvious. We've always thought it quite arrogant that she wants to dictate to others about weight when she has a weight problem herself. Their younger girl seems a bit overweight too.
Our POS boy mayor was invited? Julian? I knew he was a marxist and I knew he had a "private" meeting with obama right around the time of obama's inauguration. The POS is running for mayor again, we need to dump him.
MRS OBAMA; IN REFERANCE TO YOU "LETS MOVE" CAMPAIGN.
IF YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT MOVEING OUT OF THE WHITEHOUSE MAY I OFFER TO HELP ? FOR
I KNOW WITH ALL THE HIRED HELP THAT YOU HAVE TO PAY THAT YOU WONT BE ABLE TO PAY
FOR A MOVER, PLUS YOU HAVE GIVEN SO MUCH TO CHARITY THAT I KNOW YOU MUST BE
BROKE.
Michelle's azz looks like it is getting bigger so she had better watch what she eats! I am sick to death of this miss thing telling us what we have to eat when everytime I see her and her destroyer husband, they are sticking ice cream down their gullets! Look at their super bowl menu! I didn't see one item that wasn't loaded with fat and calories, all the food she tells us we can't eat! Hey Michelle, get the hell out of our lives and mind your own business! What I eat is not your business. When starvation comes to this country and we can't afford to buy food because of your destroyer husband, we will need that extra fat that we carry around!

She'd better stop shaking that finger in peoples' faces – -someone is apt to break it off!
What a hypocrite!! Does she ever look at herself in a mirror? Good greif! If she had a tail, they could enter her in the Kentucky derby! Those supposed $35.00 potato sacks she has been wearing don't help anything either. Maybe a bridle and blanket?
Aside from your obvious racism, you might note that the Kentucky Derby is open only to 3-year-olds–you know, the ones who rely on facts and reason like you do. No tail is required, however.
