NEWARK, N.J. (AP) – Michelle Obama was to discuss school nutrition and childhood obesity during a visit to New Jersey’s largest city.

Michelle Obama will be joined by Newark Mayor Cory Booker and will hear from students at the city’s Maple School in Thursday.

The first lady also is scheduled to participate in an after-school event at the New York Police Athletic League’s Harlem Center. Her office says the event will highlight the importance of physical activity to improve the health of children.

    Why is the First Lady only visiting and addressing issues in Newark and Harlem. First of all, obesity is a problem she can address to many other ethnic groups. Second, has Ms. Obama discuss the economic crisis that is effecting everyone? Why only problems in the black community? Everyone is okay with her being racist but it can’t be the other way around. I’m glad the liberals are fine with this!
