I can't figure out if you're being TIC or not.

I'm annoyed by the First Lady's attempt at humor about it. Gymnasts get enough crap about their diet, I don't think it's something to try to joke about.

Oh my god!
Send out the militia! I didn't realize that Michelle Obama was a crazy evil bitch who jokes around with gold medal winning teenagers on the Jay Leno show!

This is funny. I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that MO's interview with Jay Leno included talk about her childhood health platform, probably included a reference specifically to fast food, and that it was a funny dichotomy for GD to come on and say she celebrated with fast food. I'm also going to guess that, as this was the Leno show, that ad lib exchange was the funniest part of the entire thing including Jays craptastic shitty monologue.

Letterman 4 EVA.

This. Since MO said "You're not helping me out here Gabby", I'm going to guess this was all done in a joking manner.

Wasn't MO criticized for eating at a burger place not that long ago? I doubt she was seriously 'scolding' Gabby.

It was light-hearted teasing.

Oh, but I'm sorry. Serious face needs to be in place at all times.

I saw the clip on the Today Show - it was very TIC. MO's thing is as much about getting kids of their asses as it is about balanced healthy choices. So I'm pretty sure Gabby Douglas training for 8 hours a day affords her some fast food now and again and the First Lady recognizes that. It was a joke. MO is about moderation and physical activity. I can't get on her for this, she was poking fun at herself.

Here is the interview if you want to see. The whole tone of the interview was light hearted.

This is a lie. You are making a phony argument about a "problem" that does not exist. You know they are ALL joking in that clip.
Find something real to get worked up about.

Sorry. I wasn't fully awake when I read this. I couldn't figure out if it was a bash or not. My bad.
