For example. Your article says:
Whether you are a child, a parent, a worker, or retired, the President’s approximately 25-member “Advisory Group” will soon be present in every aspect of Americans’ lives, as the Executive Order prescribes. Specifically, our new so-called lifestyle behavior modification advisors will be actively carrying out the President’s orders in:

* worksite health promotion;
* community services, including community health centers;
* preventive medicine;
* health coaching;
* public health education;
* geriatrics; and
* rehabilitation medicine.


Yet on the whitehouse site it actually says:

(b) The Advisory Group shall be composed of not more than 25 members or representatives from outside the Federal Government appointed by the President and shall include a diverse group of licensed health professionals, including integrative health practitioners who are representative of or have expertise in:

(1) worksite health promotion;
(2) community services, including community health centers;
(3) preventive medicine;
(4) health coaching;
(5) public health education;
(6) geriatrics; and
(7) rehabilitation medicine.

Those are two different things.

This is clearly another case of one thing happening and the conspiracy people running it through their "truth-o-meter" and deciding it means something else. I grew up in the Reagan era where we had the presidential physical fitness test which was started by Ike and supported by every president since. We had to take every year in school and if you failed it actually would lower your grade. Shouldn't the anti-commie Reagan have freed me from this big government interceding in my life?
