WASHINGTON (AP) – During a speech at the “White House Forum on Women and the Economy,” President Obama shared his personal experiences regarding the work-family balance, explaining why America should be grateful for the First Lady’s increasing attention to the eating & exercise habits of the nation’s youth.

“Michelle and I have our girls,” related the President, “and we give it our all to balance raising a family and pursuing careers. It’s something that can be very difficult on her, because I’m gone a lot. I can’t watch what’s on everybody’s plate. That’s why we don’t have the luxury not to have Michelle haranguing you about your fat, lazy kids.”
“Sure, some millionaire presidential candidates can afford to mind their own business and focus on raising their own children, but America’s busy, hard-working middle class families need a professional, hands-on nanny-state to keep little hands out of the Doritos bag. I’m busy keeping the hands of Big Insurance out of the free-market bag, so Michelle really had no choice but to step in.”
The President added that, after his inevitable reelection, he hoped to have more freedom to assist the First Lady in her herculean task of micro-managing the nation’s caloric intake and physical activity.
“Once the unelected group of justices on the Supreme Court stops messing with my signature health care accomplishment,” said Obama, “I hope to be able to appoint an unelected group of bureaucrats to oversee everyone’s menu and exercise regimens, taking some of the burden off my overworked wife.”
“Eventually,” he concluded, “we hope to have the luxury of her being able to spend more time with our daughters at America’s various luxury ski resorts.”

Yep, Michele and Barry are down with the struggle of economically challenged women. They know what it’s like to have to settle for fresh spinach when you really wanted the arugula at Whole Foods.
I wish it was a luxury for my wife to stay home and take care of the kids. That would mean I am doing pretty well for myself. Well, I shouldn’t complain. I do have a job, that isn’t full time, and with my drill pay once a month, I make $1,000 a month, for a family of 5. Yeah, having my wife stay home is luxury. Thanks President Dorkus.
Poor Michelle, working so hard. But at least she has the luxury or hiring Lynndie England to help her get dressed every morning, even if she is always bumming smokes off Barry.
In the photo it looks like a stick figure falling on it’s head.
Okay, this will be a great picture for LOLTerroritz, or Klingonitz.
If it weren’t for stay at home moms, I would have no one to tell to get off my lawn.
Doesn’t galquida always blame criminal behavior on moms having to work?
Stay at home moms are a threat to galquida because they may teach their children morals and responsibility.
If my mom looked like sasquatch, I would have wanted her to get out and work.
Ooooh! Ooooh! I found Waldo!
If o and m had to count all the tax-payer provided perks of his job as taxable income…
heck, I can’t think of a sufficiently awesome metaphor for how deep in the hole they’d be.
