President Obama is famous for punishing his political enemies – it’s the Chicago Way of doing things in politics. But now, he has taken things a step further and is punishing children in a school to make his point.
Why would he do this? Because the school decided to end the Michelle Obama school lunch program.
This seems unbelievably petty, but it is true. The Conservative Tribune reports:
President Barack Obama is a petty and vindictive man who not only endlessly berates his political opponents, but also punishes schools that reject his wife’s horrible lunches.Case in point: Obama chose to redact $170,000 in funding for a Minnesota school that opted out of First Lady Michelle Obama’s school lunch program.
Prior Lake High School had to raise lunch prices from $2.45 to $2.95 to make up for the loss, though it stood firm in its decision because Michelle’s program was hurting the kids.“Under the federal program, the serving sizes did not meet the needs of our students,” Janeen Peterson, the district’s director of food services, explained to reporters.
Yep, this Minnesota school lost almost $200,000 in federal aid because the students refused to eat Michelle’s “healthy” (read – 3rd world portions) menu.
The Conservative Tribune explains further:
Because Prior Lake High School exited the program, students are now free to “take the serving sizes they want, free from constraint,” which means that they don’t have to contend with feeling hungry all day anymore.Furthermore, the school spends less money on food preparation and more easily constructs menus.
So, here is a school that took positive steps to insure their students are well-fed at lunch time and, as a result, they are punished by the “Obama food police.”
They are certainly not alone in rejecting this Michelle O. failing program as the Conservative Tribune reveals:
According to Pratt-Heavner, over 600 schools — including Prior High School — have exited Michelle’s program since its inception (H/T WZ).It is clear as day that Michelle’s lunch program is a gigantic failure. But rather than either fix it or scrap it, President Obama apparently prefers punishing schools that have the courage to stand up to his him and his wife.And by punishing schools, Obama is doing nothing more than punishing the students who attend them.
Now, in all fairness to President Obama, perhaps he had no choice but to punish this school to placate Michelle. Being banished to the Lincoln Bedroom may have been his other option!
Whatever the case, this action is petty, childish, and shows Mr. Obama’s gross insecurity.
If he, and other Democrats really do care “for the children” as their inane campaign ads always promise, they would be doing what is best for the kids in each school – let the local cafeterias create meals they will eat.
But, by removing funding, the only ones hurt are the very children they claim to want to help; especially the poor children who benefit from reduced or free school lunches.
First, as reported here, President Obama threatened schools with funding removal if they didn’t cave in to the radical LGBT agenda and create “transgender” bathrooms. Now, he finds a new way to starve children if they refuse to eat Michelle’s cooking.

And this administration should be shamed for STARVING those defenseless little children
embarrassment is about the only motivator that seems to work , maybe
“embarrassment” with this administration? After the daily embarrassment of 8 years of George W. Bush, Obama’s administration has achieved new heights of total incompetence, and, I bevieve, is too stupid and incapable of knowing what embarrassment is. They are infallible in their own make-believe world, where they are always right and everyone opposed to their agenda is an enemy.
Maybe all individuals and businesses in the state of Minnesota should cut off all income tax revenue to the federal government and remit it to the state government. They can then extract the missing funds and send Obama the rest.
The school and the children will be far better off on their own
rather than being “in bed” with Obama and his administration
of wolves.
Because the executive branch has authority over government funding…
Ha!
extortion another crime to impeach
My kids always packed their own lunch. Healthier food than any government mandated school lunch program. However, I’m not ignorant to the fact that, for many children from low income families, school lunch may very well be all they have to eat and I am not against a program that provides free lunches for those children. Illegal immigrant children need to be deported back to Mexico and should not qualify for anything but an escort to the border. We wonder why we’re running out of funds for these programs? It’s not Rocket Science.
“Whatever the case, this action is petty, childish, and shows Mr. Obama’s gross insecurity.”
Personally, I’d have to say it has more to do with the fact he’s a communist.
“If he, and other Democrats really do care “for the children” as their inane campaign ads always promise…”
Democrats? WTH does THAT have to do with the issue???
From one of my absolute favorite movies…
“Senator Charles F. Meachum: It’s not really as bad as it seems. It’s all gonna be done in any case. You might as well be on the side that gets you well paid for your efforts.
Nick Memphis: And what side are you on?
Senator Charles F. Meachum: There are no sides. There’s no Sunnis and Shiites. There’s no Democrats and Republicans. There’s only HAVES and HAVE-NOTS.”
Only stupid people haven’t figured this out yet.
Michelle isn’t a nutritionist.
Schools had lunch recipes before She was even BORN on this EARTH
She’s a FRAUD
And she’s fair game for this one.
Quit teaching people to eat a bunch of carbs.
