[quote:Nine's:MV8yMzgzNDgxXzQwNzg5NjQ1XzMwQURDNzRB] I hope the article isn't true. Who lets good food rot on the vine while denying someone who might make good use of it? From the original link: "With staff on furloughs, only a “skeletal crew of National Park Service gardeners..remain on duty,” Gehman Kohan reports and [b]while they can water, “the gardeners are not allowed to harvest the crops,[/b] a White House source told Obamafoodorama." If the article is true, there's a bright side: “There are also mushrooms popping up inside and outside the garden beds, and leaf litter raining from the trees like confetti. [b]The wildlife that lives on the historic 18-acre campus–including a newly arrived fox now making a home at the White House–are having a field day,”[/b] [/quote]

She cannot even be bothered to get off her fat ass and pull some weeds or least pick the vegetables that are ready.

WASHINGTON—The White House garden — first lady Michelle Obama’s signature project — is a weed-filled wreck, a victim of the partial federal government shutdown, hitting Day 14 on Monday.
As a result of neglect, “the vegetables filling the 1,500 square-foot plot are now rotting away on the vines and in the boxed beds,” reports Eddie Gehman Kohan, the founder and editor of Obamafoodorama, the publication of record when it comes to food and entertaining at the Obama White House.
