Ronald McDonald is the new Joe Camel.
And so is that creepy Burger King dude.
And come to think of it, so is my Grandma with all her mashed taters ‘n’ gravy, baked ham, cornbread, and chocolate pie.
I’m addicted, people! Damn you, Granny!

Ronald and “The King” is very creepy. Seem like pedophile types. But the Govt. have to pry a pan of Grandas Hot Apple Kuchen from my Cold Dead Fingers!

I’ll probably get flamed for pointing this out; but there are certain ailments associated to ceratin sex acts which happen to be prevalent in homosexuality (I’m not talking about AIDS). The politically incorrect diagnosis is “Gay Bowel Syndrome”. And yes, straight people who indulge in these practices can be similarly afflicted.
Will there be screenings and counseling to discourage these acts as well? If Donut holes are deemed dangerous because of costly treatments… then..

As if. Do you really think 0bama would dare to discourage those disgusting perverts? This is the same crowd that threw a temper tantrum over Californian citizens denying them the right to redefine an institution as old as civilization to their twisted standards…publicly acknowledge buggery to be a health risk and you’re talking riot-in-the-street material, evidence or NO evidence!

You got to love it when a former drug user, chain smoking President lectures us on taking care of our health.

Heh, oh yeah!

Not A Right, A Responsibility and Responsibility = Control

Health coverage is not a right, it is a responsibility.

As such the debate should be over who is responsible for your health coverage — your employer, the government, or you.

Remember, responsibility for an issue is equal to control of that issue.

I’m serving up lead and hot brass on the menu.

Its good for my health! Really!

I’m sure I can get a doctor’s prescription for it… stress relief.

Will there be screenings and counseling to discourage these acts as well? If Donut holes are deemed dangerous because of costly treatments… then..

From now on, if you fall out of line with out mandatory programs your neighbors will be required to report the activity or non compliance with the block captain, who will in turn notify the local enforcement bureau for correction of your abhorrent actions.”

It’s coming, and we have only to thank the idiots that voted this bastard and his cohorts into office.

Health care a stalking horse for nanny-state restrictions….

However, once we all start footing those doctors’ bills, it becomes our business — and that of the government.

I call logical disconnect. Two wrongs don’t make a right. Just because people are foolish enough to vote for politicians that want to socialize medicine, doesn’t mean that it becomes anyone’s business how anyone else lives.

Mmm…chocolateboarding.

I have my doubts that a burger eating cigarette smoking POTUS is going to introduce draconian health measures.

Then you are naive. Have you not noticed the way he absolutely cannot NOT sound condescending and preachy with every breath of every speech? He is very much a ‘do as I say, not as I do’ kind of person.

Has it occurred to anyone that enforcement would be impossible? That’s the biggest problem with employer programs for smoking cessation, exercise, etc. How are you going to make sure people are doing what they should be doing–short of following them 24/7?

Ever notice how the choice of life gets derided and dismissed? The only choice is death, for their convenience. The height of selfishness run amok, and I hope it bites them hard as we swirl down the drain.

How long before Obama appoints a Health Practices Czar to issue these kinds of mandates?

A New York minute.

women will be convinced to defeat socialized medicine. not only is this a fact, it makes good political sense to use these facts.

Well let me tell you something, Mr. dirty-mouth-smoker President; If you plan to get in my face about what I can eat, you better be prepared to not only give up your cancer sticks, but ALL the tax money that you’ve been getting from them for the past hundred years. Cigaretts are far more dangerous to your precious Obamacare than some guy eating a donut.

Hah! How about…
