my guidance counselor in college was that guys roommate when he was a student.  He said that guy was not going to be ignored way back before he was famous.

I can't believe they snubbed Richard Simmons! He seems like a poster child for liberals.

 

Maybe they would have more in common with Eddie Murphy's old SNL character, Little Richard Simmons, http://screen.yahoo.com/little-richards-simmons-show-000000345.html.

Fitness Legend Richard Simmons: 'The Obamas Have Rejected Me'

 

Richard! obamas has rejected everything else American why not you too

[hipower]

Did any of you read about Michelle's "Let's Move" program and the flap over the commeorative stamps that were nixed?

 

Because of the "dangerous physical activities shown on the stamps...skateboarding, cannonballing in the water, and handstands.

He's fruitier than a fruit cocktail in a jam factory, but I have to admire his seemingly indomitable spirit. He's a person who is always trying to encourage others, ignores the criticism, and tries to find the good in everything and everyone. We could all stand to be a little more like him in that regard....but without the sparkly short shorts.

Richard is not looking to good.

This guy has been championing a losing cause longer than some of us have been breathing. Before obesity got to the level it is today, he was out there trying to do something to change our eating culture. Sure, he's made a buck here and there, but we'd be hard-pressed to find a more dedicated person to his/her passion.

 

Like, McGarrett said, he seems like a perfect fit for Michelle Obama's health program. Much better, in fact, than the Schwarzenegger was for George H.W. Bush's fitness program in the early 90's.

 

Maybe they were afraid of being associated with this kind of image:

While Michelle is out there promoting healthier eating, while her husband is signing bills, like the "Monsanto Protection Act".

While there's no doubt I could benefit from a few of his Sweatin' To The Oldies DVD's, I feel bad for the guy. He's been a huge inspiration to so many, yet he's felt the need to stay in the closet.

He was on Neil Cavuto's show today.
