Michelle Obama, recently hired by Walmart yells out " green peppers 5 for a dollar"
We have captured these vegetables, and forced the surrender of the entire vegetable army. The President sends me with tidings of great joy to proclaim the end of the veggie wars. Mission accomplished!
"I swear, I shop at Walmart every Saturday. Love it."
Don't tell me Walmart will have 'fruit machines'.
"This is a 'W' for Walmart, not a 'live long and prosper'!"
1st Lady: I swear any reference to fruit & Republicans was truly unintentional
I promise to ensure the President eats his vegetables everyday.
