A small detail escaped the notice of all the normals out there, but not the rabid left: President Trump's rollback of federal school regulations on food content children are permitted to eat was released on ... Michelle Obama's birthday.

The outrage reverberated through every lefty yoga parlor, union hall, and Twitter enclave -- from Santa Monica to Martha's Vineyard.

A sample from Fox News:

“What a shameless, embarrassing capitulation to lobbyists at the expense of American children and their well-being,” said Sam Kass, who served as executive director of Obama's “Let's Move" campaign to combat child obesity. ”This country - and its kids - deserve so much better. "

Rep. Bobby Scott, a Virginia Democrat and chairman of the House Committee on Education and Labor, said the proposal “threatens the progress we’ve made toward improving nutrition in schools.” “For many children, the food they eat at school is their only access to healthy, nutritious meals,” he said. The American Heart Association said the rule would “put children’s health at risk.” “Healthy school meals help combat childhood obesity and poor cardiovascular health, but they also help establish a foundation for a lifetime of healthy behaviors," the group said. As first lady, Obama championed healthier school meals as part of the “Let’s Move” campaign. “With one in three of our kids on track to have diabetes, it's unconscionable that the Trump administration would do the bidding of the potato and junk food industries," Kass said.

But what really made them mad was that it was done on Michelle Obama's birthday:

The Trump administration announced a rollback of Michelle Obama’s signature initiative for healthy school lunches on Friday, ****coinciding with the former first lady’s birthday.**** Unreal. https://t.co/y3AYWOg2vn via @bpolitics — Joy Reid (@JoyAnnReid) January 18, 2020

Just how vile is our president? Well, he chose Michelle Obama's birthday to announce he's undoing the work she did to make school lunches healthier for American children. https://t.co/UgIKQkdkyC — Ari Solomon (@VeganAri) January 17, 2020

Imagine how spiteful, vindictive, and hateful someone has to be to roll back Michelle Obama’s nutritious lunch program for children on her birthday. You are a very weak man @realDonaldTrump. — Ryan Knight 🏳️‍🌈🗽 (@ProudResister) January 17, 2020

Trump killing Michelle Obama's school nutrition guidelines on her birthday is more proof that we don’t actually have a government. We have a cult of grievance orchestrated by a cable news network for bitter, angry bigots with a cruelty streak. My latest:https://t.co/e6X0ErCE25 — David Atkins (@DavidOAtkins) January 18, 2020

(It was quite a job curating that one, given the difficulty of finding tweets with no use of the left's customary foul language.)

Michelle's birthday? Who follows such things other than leftists, who've got her birthday enshrined rent-free in their otherwise empty gourds. If anything, Michelle Obama should be happy the mess was scrapped on her birthday, at least if she cares about kids, given the failure of her program and the food waste that has since followed. The #ThankYouMichelleObama campaign from 28,000 schoolkids starving and trashing the slop was no small thing.

Remember these?

Her program was an absolute failure of nominally good intentions, clouded by overhead, corruption and all the problems of a centrally planned one-size-fits-all federally dictated diet that led to mountains of unpalatable and tossed food.

Michelle Obama herself was quoted on a broadcast yesterday (I could not find a news item) stating that now children will go without nutrition, implying that only the state was capable of determining and giving such benefits to them. If I find it, I'll link, it's out there.

It's far-fetched of course, the product of lefty paranoia, but all the same, maybe it's worth noting that Michelle Obama has been rather .... loud ... as a cheerleader for President Trump's impeachment, which is now going on in the Senate, about a month ago doing an interview with Jenna Bush Hagar about how bad Trump is, getting her rocks off in a double-hitter with the previously hated Bushies. Remember this one?

Michelle Obama President Trump Former first ladycalled the impeachment of"surreal" in an interview Monday, but argued the nation can certainly come back from it. “It’s surreal, I think, because the last impeachment hearing, a lot of young people weren't around for that, so this is all new. I don’t think people know what to make of it,” she said in an interview with NBC’s “Today.” “But do I think we can come back from it? Oh yeah,” Obama said. America has seen tougher times before, she added, noting economic depressions, wars, terrorist attacks and the Jim Crow era. “And we’ve always come out stronger and that’s what we have to continue to believe, because what’s our choice? To ball up in a corner and call it a day? Well, that’s not fair to this generation, the next generation … that are counting on us to get this right,” Obama said. “It’s not an us or them, it’s not an R or a D, we are all here as part of this country,” Obama added. “We all want the same things, it’s just sometimes that gets lost in the noise.” Obama spoke to NBC's Jenna Bush Hager, daughter of former President George W. Bush, during a trip to Vietnam, where Obama is raising awareness about educating young girls as part of her Girls Opportunity Alliance.

That's some major league politicking from her, a naked attempt to appeal to the increasingly skeptical public to turn against President Trump because what will follow will somehow be "better."

With crap like that, she deserved to learn all about the scuppering of her failed school lunch dictat at a time like her birthday. I doubt it was planned that way, but I kind of hope it was.
