Michelle Obama arranged for this to happen by persuading Beyoncé to film the music video to "Move your body" with school children as part of her anti-obesity drive. While the intent was never to make this a political video, Republicans have of course gone on the attack.

Republicans claimed that the child-nutrition legislation she backed in Congress would bring about the end of school bake sales. They claimed that her work with the National Restaurant Association to develop healthier menu choices was a government takeover of restaurants.

They even claimed that an increase in pedestrian deaths was because of the First Lady's campaign to encourage walking.

Thankfully Rush Limbaugh committed himself and his followers to eating themselves to heart attacks. "If we are supposed to eat roots, berries and tree bark, show us how."

Whoever would have thought that a song to encourage moving and a campaign to encourage healthy eating would have caused Republicans to commit themselves to obesity?

Maybe the First Lady should help sponsor the Samaritans.
