Leave Obama Alone and Let Him Eat a Damned Chilidog!

It's getting way too stupid for me to tolerate much longer. Barack Obama, my favorite whipping boy, and one who much deserves 99% of the abuse I heap upon him, is not, I repeat not, guilty of every wrong on the planet and to see the news of the weekend of the food pyramid becoming a "plate" and Obama eating a chilidog is becoming not only tiresome but childishly unfair.

In case one was not paying attention, late last week the FDA decided the old food pyramid is no longer applicable and now they will use a "plate" to show the approximate breakdown of the portions of grain, protein, fruits and vegetables one should consume daily. And since the First Lady is all about nutrition poor Barack is rife for ridicule. Frankly it's getting a bit too childish for my juvenile ass to countenance any longer.

Leave the president alone if he wants a Hell burger or a couple chilidogs for Heaven's sake. If being a food Nazi is his wife's thing, fine, let it be. But can't the president at least eat something he enjoys occasionally? He's skinny as a rail, plays basketball and golf regularly and to the eye looks to be in excellent physical shape for a man who will be 50 years old in two months.

Yeah, I know...I am constantly savaging Mr. Obama, but that is for things he actually says, does, supports or does not handle as I personally believe a president should. But this incessant busting on him for the occasional burger or whatever is really petulant and shines negatively upon those making such objections.

Considering all the real things Obama does and does not do for us to fairly and factually criticize, a burger, beer or chilidog is just playing "gotcha," and directed at someone who is not really the one pushing the "eat sprouts" nonsense. The food business is his wife's issue and frankly I know a beaten man when I see one...he gets enough grief at home so let him have a few moments of peace.

It's harmful to real issues of contention when everything is blown out of proportion. It appears sorta like Bush Derangement Syndrome, whereby everything Bush said, did or did not do was rife for attack. It wasn't fair to W. and it's not fair to Obama. Obama provides more than sufficient fodder to savage him about real and important issues so it seems petty to seek every chink in his armor to savage him. It will take away from the seriousness of real and substantive issues with him if people raise every little petty issue and magnify it in an effort to defame Obama.

It makes those magnifying such incidents appear so childish and petty and I personally believe there are already more then enough things conservatives and Obama opponents are on about that it only hurts the cause to pick on this guy for everything. I mean Hell, I hate his walk and the arrogant way he talks when he gives a speech and looks out over the audience. I hate his political denigrations of my side especially when he was the new and different guy, so there is more than enough "there" there. No need to trump up little things to crack on him for...it's just too, too much and so unfair.

Just let the guy eat whatever he wants in peace and stop acting so appalled. Believe me, Michelle makes his home life a living Hell and that is not a hateful political, left/right denigration but merely the keen observation of a man who's been married a time or two, lived with a dozen of the soft and delicate creatures, and knows what a browbeaten man looks like.
