Comments on: Obama Wants America To Shape Up

Politico: Don't Be Fooled By Burger Runs, Obama Likely To Encourage Healthy Lifestyle Changes As Part Of Health Care Reform

Listen, you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink!

Mr. Obama can lead by example by leading a healthy life-style himself---but, he can't make
other people follow suit!

Their are many reasons why people can't! Many people work too much, too many hours, in
order to live in debt at a decelerating pace! Or, they have other duties and activities. They
can't afford a balanced diet---food has gone up drastically in price the last year! Or, there
aren't a lot of facilities where they live, etcetera!

People will have to make better life choices of their own volition---if you try to force health
changes off on people, you will have the opposite effect---they'll resist them!

Hey America! You want Government Controlled Health Care? Get ready to do some push ups and run a few miles. You want a loan for a car? Better hope like hell that you have not been a bad little AmeriKan, or you will never get it.
This man wants to control EVERY aspect of your life. You better wake up, and be very careful of the "change" you wish/voted for. This is no *****ing joke guys. Remember Pelosi in China? "Every aspect of our lives needs to be inventoried" (paraphrasing)
Nationalized Banks, Nationalized Auto, Nationalized Health Care, Mandatory "community service" and he is just getting started. I voted for a President, NOT the "mother" of all snoopy, demanding, mother in-laws. Does anyone remember what Liberty is? Look it up...

President Kennedy encouraged Americans to get fit back when I was a kid. It still makes sense now.

If you have good health, you truly have all you need.

So having a wide body doesn't just affect the "wide body's" by any means.

So - you use air which denies it to other living creatures - so you need to not exercise and use up so much air - plus that ,you generate more CO2 with heavier respirations when you exercise - increasing GLOBAL WARMING THAT AFFECTS ME- we need to tax you on that too.

Well, we sure need something with 2/3 of adults being overweight.

Some will say, so what?

The so what is that obesity causes other health problems which we all pay for through our premiums.

So having a wide body doesn't just affect the "wide body's" by any means.

Obama reminds me of a little kid with his hands in every cookie jar. He never finishes nothing, just moves to the next one when he sees thats not gonna happen. It will take a real man to fix this, not a community organizer that has never ran a car wash.

Nobody ever held a gun to your head, nobody ever forced you to eat that whole pizza by yourself, nobody ever said you HAD TO EAT IT ALL, BUT YOU DID ANYWAY.

Damn right I did - the US is all about personal freedom - as pro-choicers like to say - My body my choice.

I can choose to eat a whole pizza everyday if I choose - who the he** does anyone think they are to tell me what the he** I can eat.

Talk about egotistical a**holes - thinking they know best for everyone else -
