Doubling Down on Obesity. Of Course.

If Obama owned a funeral home, Republicans would stop dying. - XMASTIME
Mississippi goes all Palinesque over Mayor Bloomberg's attempted soda ban:
A bill now on the governor’s desk would bar counties and towns from enacting rules that require calorie counts to be posted, that cap portion sizes, or that keep toys out of kids’ meals. “The Anti-Bloomberg Bill” garnered wide bipartisan support in both chambers of the legislature in a state where one in three adults is obese, the highest rate in the nation. The bill is expected to be signed by Gov. Phil Bryant, a Republican. It was the subject of intense lobbying by groups including the restaurant association, the small business and beverage group, and the chicken farmers’ lobby. Mike Cashion, executive director the Mississippi Hospitality and Restaurant Association, says the bill is a direct reaction to Bloomberg-style government intervention in public health.
Wait, are these people confused - do they thnink the soda ban was Obama's idea?
