Something has to be done. We are a nation of fat lazy fucks. I've never seen so many fat kids in all my life.

I would like to see some lifestyle behavior modification with any and all hot blondes that have big tits. Send them to my door.

The title of that "order" sounds like something out of the Supreme Soviet Committee on Revolutionary Conduct

have a real source? google just turns up crank websites for that claim.

This real enough?

he's damned if he does and damned if he does not. sad. there's nothing wrong whatsoever with that agenda.

media is the bigger problem.

what's wrong with that? who cares.

For sure, Obama is the first President to endorse physical fitness.

when framed liked that sure. framing can make your dick sucked by the hottest chick in the planet sound bad too.

programs to help people lose weight and stop smoking isn't the rise of the third reich. fucking stupid.

Americans have the FREEDOM to be fat lazy drug addicted smokers and I would defend that freedom with my life!!!

If I were skinny enough or motivated enough to get off my couch.

God damn Obama wanting us to be healthier! What a jerk!

[/sarcasm]

What a fucking stupid ass biased article - talk about spinning something evil out of something sensible. Must have been a Drudge or Fox write-up. What the fuck...

It's only okay if you get a guy to go back in time and kill the mother of the guy who invented the Twinkie:

i recalled that too, arnie was the exercise czar.

How is this any different than the presidential fitness challenge or whatever a lot of us had as kids?

the government will be knocking on your door soon enough with some healthy government cheese for you.

they will bust it down and force feed you the cheese if you are too fat/lazy/drunk to answer.

:upsidedow

Conclusion : You're fat, sedentary and drink too much and that why you care.


:1orglaugh

God you "Obama is a communist" tin foil hat guys are worse than the "Bush did 9-11" tin foil hat guys.

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Yep, I remember it too and thought it was a cool idea. :thumbsup

I guess Bush #1 started it and good for him!

Again, not even close sortie :1orglaugh

......... and on and on up and through George the 2nds reign

I have many many problems with this president, but this wouldn't be one of them. Hell, an anti-sedentary lifestyle means in a direct way less work/productivity given how much work is done on computers these days. Granted in the long run it would mean MORE productivity given people would be happier and more energetic when they do work, so that's probably his secret agenda with it. Like omg, getting more productive so China doesn't own us all soon, oh noes how evil!

A healthier country would mean HUGE reduction in medical costs for everyone. Why anyone would be against that is beyond me.

cool, so you won't mind when the gov swings by unexpectedly a few times a weeks to see what you're up to then.

Any article that starts talking about Ayers and that Rev Wright should pretty much flag it as a crank writeup.

Why you want your health care cost tied to someone else is beyond me.

blame the insurers for bracketing groups of people.

In fact I do. :thumbsup

Because it IS already being done that way dipshit. Do you have insurance? Do you realize that part of your premium is going to pay for lazy fatass smokers insurance costs? You don't honestly believe that unhealthy people actually pay enough in premiums to cover their inevidable numerous healthcare expenses do you? Who in the fuck do you think pays the difference?

I think the issue here is.. Do as we say, not as we do.. Government motto. All governments. Maybe "the one" should lead by example..

When you read the article you posted and then you read the stuff on this link, they really are very different.


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?

And you like it that way?

No so I guess I'll go get a job as the CEO of a big insurance company and change things.

It already is. Everyone in your group effects your rates. If you are grouped with a bunch of people who use a lot of the resources they will raise the group rate for everyone even if you never use your insurance. The only way to stop it would be for the insurance companies to split people into groups where those who are in good health and use little resources are pooled together and those who are in poor health and use more are pooled together and that is never going to happen.

I am guess that was sarcasm. I hope he plans on quitting smoking first to set an example.

this would be an opportunity for him to do so.

Are you for single payer?

No, but I wouldnt mind if they swung by YOUR place a few times a week.

I'm going to call the health police on my fat ass neighbor. I never liked that bitch.

supposedly he just did. read some articles about that recently. the articles spin was bashing him because he has the gall to advise other world leaders to stop smoking.

I would be pretty impressed if a smoking President was able to stop smoking during their tenure. That would be tough as fuck.

"The President’s desired lifestyle behavior modifications focus on:
smoking cessation"

The President is not doing good enough for smoking cessation.
How can the President say that he supports smoking cessation?
He smokes cigarettes himself.

This is truly insidious- especially since it gives the government authority to administer "care" for mental and behavioral health which, as we know, can be broadly defined to be useful to a government seeking wider powers over individuals.

Overall it describes us as cattle in need of management.

Wow, I had no idea that you would have this opinion; especially after seeing
your avatar.

It's a total surprise that you don't like this "Obama policy".

I quoted "Obama policy" because I'm damn fucking sure that he didn't create
this policy in a vacuum.

I am forty-one years old, and although I run two miles every day I'm a bit over weight. Went to the water park this weekend I'm all worried about how I'm going to look with no shirt on in public. Trust me, I was fine. Because most people are fucking huge!

does "appropriate exercise" include mandatory exercise hours at a government labor camp yet? lol :1orglaugh
