Nancy Pelosi says Democrats will 'be back'
Ruling to come on Rahm Emanuel's mayoral bid

Palin takes aim at Michelle Obama over dessert

Former Alaska governor Sarah Palin took a jab at first lady Michelle Obama's anti-obesity campaign.

In her TLC show Sarah Palin's Alaska, the former GOP vice presidential nominee is seen opening cupboards in search of chocolate, marshmallows and graham crackers, asking "Where are the s'mores ingredients?"

"This is in honor of Michelle Obama, who said the other day we should not have dessert," Palin said.

The first lady's "Let's Move" campaign is aimed at getting children to eat healthy and be active. Obama told the NAACP in July that she tells daughters Malia and Sasha that "dessert is not a right."

The White House had no comment on Palin's remarks, several news outlets reported.

Palin has not been shy expressing her views on the first lady's initiative. In an interview with conservative radio host Laura Ingraham, Palin said Obama "is telling us she cannot trust parents to make decisions for their own children, for their own families in what we should eat."
