Michelle Obama Teases Gabby Douglas About Eating at McDonald's: Funny or Rude?

Why doesn't Ms Obama tease Michael Moore?

well it wasn't really funny so other

Rude not funny at all. I just wish that first lady would leave McDonalds alone. McDonald does some good things for folks. Like the Ronald McDonald House and various charities they give to. They give kids scholarships and provide jobs. She really should button her mouth sometimes. They come in real handy when traveling and trying to watch what you spend.

I would like to see someone try to tell my wifes 91 year old granny that there is something wrong with eating at McDonolds. That's the first place she wants to go when my wife picks her up to shop every month or so.

Sounds like she was just kidding around with her.

She definitely could've picked a better choice of words...

She was kidding. Geeze people will make a big deal out of everything.

First of all winning a medal for HERSELF does NOT make her a national or any other type of Hero:

Hero: [heer oh]: a person who, in the opinion of others, has heroic qualities or has performed a heroic act and is regarded as a model or ideal: He was a local hero when he saved the drowning child.

In my opinion a hero puts their life or personal safety at risk for the benefit of others. I consider military service persons heros.

But back to the base question, I did not hear the comment, or how it was stated so I cannot say one way or the other, but I understand Douglas was not offended so who else has any right to take offense, (except possibly McDonalds). But remember the First Lady has been on an anti child obesity campaign, (justifiably) and how does McDonalds help? $4/99 for a healthy Salad, $0.99 for a cheeseburger.

Oh good lord. This is what people get upset about? Good natured teasing??

She was joking.

hahaha

why dont mcdonnalds commercials have real people that eat mcdonnald? why use models and act like models even touch mcdonnalds?

It all depends on what side of the political spectrum you're on. If your conservative or you just hate the Obamas, it was rude. You like the Obamas, or liberal, or understand humor, it was just funny. Since this is Sodahead, it's going to turn into ideological warfare.

Asinine question to begin with. So she poked fun, oh no!

Unsurprisingly, this is divided down party lines.

Gee, the majority of this website, which is conservative, believes this was rude? I'm so surprised.

That comment wasn't rude or insulting in the least. Michelle's a sweetheart. Love her. ;)

How was it rude???...

Some people have no sense of humor. I'm pretty sure even the gymnast didn't take it so personally.

Just cause she was smiling or laughing about it doesn't disguise her intention. She is a rude person, always has been always will be.

And you know this how? Oh, I forgot, she's married to a democrat.

Oh for God's sake, she was joking with her. She was laughing when she said it. What is with all this vitriol towards Michelle Obama? No rudeness involved here, just move along and pick on someone else for a change.

IT IS NOT HER JOB TO DECIDE WHAT PEOPLE EAT. ITS THEIR CHOICE. SO SHE CAN SHUT HER FACE. YOU WOULD THINK THE FIRST LADY WOULD KNOW AT LEAST A LITTLE BIT ABOUT FREEDOM, BUT I'M NOT SO SURE. PEOPLE. CAN. EAT. WHAT. THEY. WANT.

Rude, hypocritical. Mrs. O may well have been funnin' with Jay and included Gabby, but her delivery was poor and she sounded somewhat condescending and in fact was hypocritical given her, ahem, girth.

Gabby achieved something incredibly significant in her life and her way of celebrating that with an Egg McMuffin demonstrated humility and her humanity.

Mrs. O did not demonstrate humility or humanity.

so? i make fun of my friend who does gymnastics and she eats mcdonald and fast food crap all the time! and shes like a freaking twig! skin and bones so she will never get fat un luck me -_-

It's not of her business what Gabby eats, and it's not of her business what our kids eat.

BEAVER DAM STRAIGHT.

Who does Michelle think she is? It is NOT HER CONCERN what this child eats, and she is way out of line to speak up when she was obviously not part of the conversation. What a ruthless human she is showing herself to be.

TRUE TRUTH.

She might have been joking around but it is still rude. After all Gabby has been through and she says something stupid like that...

Michelle Obama is a nasty piece of work. Sometimes, she lets her nastiness shine through. And considering Gabby Douglas's figure and MO's (even allowing for age), MO must be eating something a lot worse than Egg McMuffins, her statements notwithstanding.

I'm so sick of her and the nanny state telling us what to do and eat. She said it in a light-hearted way, but it comes from a place of wanting to control our lives.

Yeah many are sick and in Nov Her MARXIST NANNY A** WILL BE KICK OUT ALONG WITH HER HUBBY OBAMA-SLIME!!

Gabby Douglas made an historical mark not only for herself but for her country in the London Olympics 2012 and yet you have people making remarks about her hair and now her eating habits!!.....geez how about a congratulations! :|

Don't get so uptight about it.
