Mooch to the rescue!
(OFD) — Perhaps First Lady Obamaneeds to drop by President Obama’s re-election campaign headquarters in Chicago and give some tips on healthy eating and moderation: The overworked staffers are absolutely gorging on lousy food, according to Rufus Gifford, the National Finance Director for Obama for America. Staffers have eaten a year’s worth of junk in “the past few weeks,” Gifford said today. And they’re hyper-caffeinated, too.
“We’ve all had more pizza and bad takeout in the past few weeks than anyone should have in a year,” Gifford wrote in an e-mail request for a $3 donation.
“The staff and I are working around the clock, powered by too much coffee.”
Gifford was unperturbed by the fact that he and his fellow staffers might be facing years of consequences — and huge health-care costs — from diet-related diseases. . . .President Obama’s Administration has created a comprehensive, multi-agency attack on obesity and diet-related disease, coordinated by Mrs. Obama’s Let’s move! campaign, but apparently Obama for America hasn’t gotten the memo. Maybe it’s time for staffers to take the Presidential Active Lifestyle Award challenge, which now includes a nutrition component, Mrs. Obama announced last weekend.
