Fox News Analyst: Michelle Obama 'Needs To Drop A Few' Pounds

2014-08-13 106 Dailymotion

Dr. Keith Ablow, a member of something called the Fox News Medical A-Team, doesn't think First Lady Michelle Obama has any business promoting childhood nutrition. <br /> <br />"And how well can she be eating? She needs to drop a few," Ablow said during Tuesday's episode of "Outnumbered." <br /> <br />The comment drew a collective cringe from the same four female panelists who had called the first lady "annoying" for her health initiatives only seconds earlier. <br /> <br />Despite the ridicule from his fellow panelists, the show's "one lucky guy" dug in. <br /> <br />"Well, no, let's be honest. There's no french fries happening? That's all kale and carrots? I don't buy it," Ablow said, adding that he would welcome nutrition advice from President Obama. <br /> <br />Ablow did not respond to TPM's request for comment. <br /> <br />Rep. Jim Sensenbrenner (R-WI) tried to make the same argument in 2011. It went over about as well as Ablow's observation. <br /> <br />"She lectures us on eating right while she has a large posterior herself," Sensenbrenner said. The Wisconsin Republican said later that he sent a personal apology to the first lady. <br /> <br />With Obama taking on House Republicans over new school lunch standards, the first lady's efforts to reduce childhood obesity are once again the focus of Fox's coverage. <br /> <br />Fox host Neil Cavuto even tried to bait a Super Bowl champion into criticizing Obama on Monday, but Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson made it clear that he wasn't interested.
