Standing just feet away from a spread of creamed corn, fried chicken, and mac and cheese, presidential candidate Fred Thompson (I keep having to remind myself not to call him Arthur Branch) said educating people to eat healthier is not part of his proposed solution to the obesity epidemic:
“I’m telling you, I don’t think that it’s the primary responsibility of the federal government to tell you what to eat,” Thompson said to applause when asked if his health care plan included any details on preventative care, a priority for Democratic candidates.
No, that’s his wife’s job — she’s put him on a mandatory diet. This may be the first case of “do as I do, not as I say” from a politician yet!






Right, b/c a man’s wife and the federal government have the same function in our nation.
That’s clearly the most moronic thing I have heard from you left-tards.
