As he pointed out, Barack Obama and his wife Michele are married, and they've got two kids. They are the "nuclear family" - the role models for all the black community out there where 75% of kids are born out of wedlock - and thus 75% are born into poverty and never get out of it. (And while white kids aren't at that percentage yet, they are the fastest rising percentage of illegitimacy.) And why not? Have sex, no need to get married or even know who you're having sex with. The government will put you on welfare and let you continue to have as many kids as you want.
Instead of focusing on fat kids, Mrs. Obama should focus on the much more dire problem of the disintegration of the black family.
RUSH: I want to go back to Mitch Daniels here for just a second and make a comment, because he ended his opening by praising the Obamas for setting a great family values example. And he's right, they do that well. Mom and dad and the two kids. It's a good-looking family. And here's a point about that, though. Just today the First Nutritionist, Moochelle Obama, unveiled tougher nutrition standards that school meals will have to meet starting this year. There's a story, I've got it in the Stack of Stuff from earlier this week. Junk food in the schools did not contribute to any negative characteristics or aspects of the kids. When they tried to get the junk food out of the schools a black market sprung up. The kids didn't eat the tasteless tofu rot that was put in there under the guise of health. They wanted no part of it.
That's not the kind of teamwork, you see, that the people of this country want. They don't want their government telling them what they cannot eat. They don't want the government telling them what they must eat. Even little leftist robot kids don't. They'll find a way around it. They have found a way around it, and they are not harming themselves in the process. Now, here's Michelle Obama unveiling tougher nutrition standards that school meals are gonna have to meet starting this year, the new standards required by the 2010 school nutrition bill that increased funding for school meals. So, yeah, I'll give you more money for school meals, but you've gotta do X, Y, and Z in order to qualify and get and keep it.
Now, she ought to just broom that stuff. She ought to get rid of that. You know, the best thing Michelle Obama could do -- and I'm not joking here -- the best thing Michelle Obama could do for people in poverty is to simply highlight the solid nuclear family that she has with her husband, Barack, and the two kids.
That's the ticket out. In fact, Santorum made that point brilliantly in a recent Republican debate, talking about the three tickets out of poverty, just the three simple things you can do. One is to graduate high school. The other is not have babies until you are married. And that may be at the top of the list. Now, the president of the United States and his wife and family can be and are role models for the people of this country. There is no greater thing Michelle Obama could do than to simply do what Mitch Daniels credited her and her husband for doing last night, and that is setting a wonderful standard for family values and so forth.
