I listened to Michelle Obama’s interview about childhood obesity, in which she stated that her doctor warned her about her daughters’ health, and she responsibly took action (“Fat is in the Fire for Michelle,” Feb. 11).

It sounds smart to me.

It’s also important to notice what the first lady did not do. She did not call her government to come to the rescue of her kids, even though that’s what the Obama administration wants the rest of us to do.

Again and again, we learn that only smart politicians know how to take care of their lives. We, the people, need our politicians to do it for us.
