If there’s anything worse than Obama Derangement Syndrome, it’s First Lady Michelle Obama Derangement Syndrome, which just reached Ebola-level deadliness with conservative reaction to FLOTUS’ viral “Turnip For What?” video. In case you missed it, the First Lady did a Twitter Q&A yesterday to promote healthy eating. Actor Iman Crosson asked her, in character as President Obama, “How many calories do you burn every time you ‘turn up’?!”
The response, as has been overexplained by every website on the internet, is a parody of Li’l Jon’s “Turn Down For What,” which was parodied by its creators for Rock The Vote recently. Reaction to the First Lady’s joke has been universallyalong the lines of “Best Vine Ever!”

First, they claimed her husband was born in Kenya.
Then, they claimed she is a he.
Right after that, they claimed they adopted their children from Morocco.
Now, they are claiming she has derangement syndrome.
I’m trying to figure out what exactly is wrong with a Mom telling kids to eat their vegetables. Any of our resident cons want to explain that to me? How does it deserve the hate-spew I read on the rw sites?

So, people are upset that she made a parody to get kids to think of eating healthier food? What the hell is wrong with people? Don’t they know that much hate is not healthy for them? Seriously, it really is bad for your health to be that angry all the time. It’s ridiculous to boot!

Since I’m of sound mind, I cannot imagine, even wildly, what will be next but, fear not, the lunatic RW will come up with something.
