In the USA constitutionally it isn't the presidents job to tell us what rights we have, or what we can and cannot do. Some one sure needs to tell him that. he forgets that he is to be working for us not dictating to us. He is to be a servant and in his head he wants to be a communist dictator. Lets hope he keeps out of telling us what to eat or drink or how to live more then he already has. obama has got his nose in enough places it doesn’t belong.

I think he may pay the problem lip-service and that's all. Real exercise PE and nutrition education in schools would help.

I didn't realize we were of an age. I'm not an Obama fan club member, but respect his discipline to exercise. My question, though, is why do we expect the president to take on the role of God and be responsible for fixing all the broken things in the world? And that applies to ANY president. They are not monarchs with unlimited powers - just leaders working in a defined role. The link to the Britain study wasn’t working, but I found the Obama bit quite interesting.
