Michelle Obama Doesn't Sugar Coat

It's time for fundamental change.

No, I'm not talking about Barack Obama-style change.

I'm talking about Michelle Obama 'get-off-your-duff-and-make-your-life-count' change. If she makes it to the White House, we're going to be a six-pack nation (abs, not beers) 'cause she's won't let any of us be slackers.

Here's why, from Slate.com:

In a fiery recent speech to the National Congress of Black Women in Washington, she said, "The saddest reality is that we as black women still don't love ourselves enough. We don't eat right, ladies, we don't exercise, we don't demand healthy relationships, we wait too long to address our health care problems...So the question that we must ask ourselves as black women is, 'Are we really ready for fundamental change?' "

Remember what Tina Fey said last week on Saturday Night Live? "Bitches get stuff done"? Michelle Obama is one in a good way, the way Tina Fey intended it.

We won't need reality TV and Extreme Makeover Home Edition or The Biggest Loser. Michelle Obama will be like Loser personal trainer Jillian of the Black Team (that's a team designation, gang, not a racist comment) and she's going to whip us all into shape. Think of it:

The United States: The Biggest Winner.
Extreme Makeover - Nation Edition

Talk about universal health care. This sounds just as good to me.
