Glenn Beck vs. Carb-Counting Michelle Obama

Ray Gustini 73 Views Sep 20, 2010
If Michelle Obama wants Glenn Beck's salty snacks, she'll have to pry them from his cold, dead hands. That's the message the conservative commentator sent the first lady this weekend during his speech at the Right Nation 2010 rally in Hoffman Estates, Illinois.

"Get away from my french fries, Mrs. Obama," Beck told the crowd. "First politician that comes up to me with a carrot stick, I've got a place for it. And it's not in my tummy."

Whatever you think of Glenn Beck or Michelle Obama, that's an image we could have done without.
