Obama, Obama, How Does Your Garden Grow?

ajax | Apr 10, 2009 12:13:21 AM posted "my 13 Year old probably knows more about farming then they do." But most kids don't live in the country these days, they live in urban areas without the experience and independence your son has. Mrs. Obama is not a "joke" simply because she was raised in a urban environment. What's wrong with our First Lady helping city kids reconnect with growing things? After all, back in WWII it was back yard gardeners, including city folks, who helped grow a third of America's produce. Lighten up.

I like the garden idea---and it's a super message for our fast food nation.

But I don't like the angle from the First Lady that's it's inexpensive when the Obama's are serving $100 a pound wagyu beef and flying in pizza dough. I really can't stomach the hypocrisy---no pun intended.

Well, I sure would rather see her out in the garden, than have her making political decisions for/with her husband like the Biliary pair we had for 8 years. My biggest issue with Obama is that he got HER involved with him as Sec of State.

Do you guys get pissed off in every single story that has the name "Obama" in it. She's just planting a garden for godsake, LOL, I mean seriously, of all the things to get angry over....

Are you guys that bitter?

I've grown a garden for years & so did my parents when I was a Kid. Never did see plants produce in a month. Never did see anyone plant a garden befor the freezes & hard frosts were done either. That garden must be real huge to have cost $200.00 to plant too!

With inflation a certainty in our future because of the out of control spending by Obama and the liberal democrats that control Congress, perhaps we all should plant a garden to help curtail the increase in the cost of food for all of us soon.

Libs seem to like the idea of kids learning 'where food comes from'...unless that food bleeds of course.

They will not lack fertilizer.

Way too early to start putting plants in the ground in D.C.

These fools can't do anything right.

This kind of pr isn't a bad thing. It is an example of how the Obama's are bringing up their children. I think it is important for kids to learn where their food really comes from, the earth and a bit of tlc. From news reports that the President's children will make their own beds and pick up their rooms, to buying them a swingset, to their planting a garden, one can see they are giving their children as normal an upbringing as possible.
Every child should experience the miracle of planting seeds, caring for them and picking a harvest. Even if you only have room for a window box or a few pots, kids will enjoy it immensely.

When you lose as bad as the republicans did you'd probably be a bit peeved too I guess.. Especially if you were to lose to an "UNKNOWN", but brilliant man. I'm still laughing at that dog gone election, and the republicans are still bitter and angry and trying to hold on to dem guns.. Way tooooo funny.. I better stop before I bust a vessel.. Therapy will help you all get over your loss.... he he he ha ha ha!!

"In San Jose, peeved citizens cut the cables for the telecomms who do the surveillance work for the "Obama" organization ... with the bonus of shutting down the financial institutions."

n San Jose, vandals apparently entered a manhole between a highway and a railroad track at about 1:30 a.m. and cut four AT&T cables. In San Carlos, about 40 miles north of the San Jose site, some AT&T cables as well as some Sprint cables were cut underground. That attack apparently happened between about 4 a.m. and 5 a.m., said San Carlos Police Department spokesman Rich Cinfio. The San Jose incident affected people in a small area of the city of San Jose, as well as in Santa Cruz and San Benito counties to the south, according to San Jose Police Department spokesman Sgt. Ronnie Lopez. Because emergency 911 calling service was disrupted, law enforcement deployed more officers in some areas to make them more accessible, he said.

"how spies have infiltrated our energy grid...."

Rasputin3.14,

Because the US just admitted that Posada Corriles is a terrorist, but refuse to charge him with terrorism or murder, only LYING about it.

The hypocricy is astounding.

What is "inorganic" soil???

Why is there no coverage of the Cuba junket made by various house members?

One might wonder about the soil, water and air quality in the midst of a booming metropolis. Can't they just get their vegetables from Mexico and Cali and Chile?

Has Michele ever been in dirt before? good grief....

It is nice to have a garden. It is a waste of our taxpayer's money. The garden doesn't look good in this picture. It was cold last night and probably they didn't cover the garden from keep the cold air get through it.

If you do a survey you would find that Republicans are the most frustrated Americans and more prone to heart attacks than people of other political persuasions. Since November that frustration level has gone up so very high. You can see it on the blogs etc..but the bright part of that whole situation for me is the fact that they are now in the minority. These people need our prayers. God bless president Obama and God bless America!
