Conservative Twitter users highjack first lady’s boring “let’s move” Q&A session

Today marks the six month anniversary of the deadly attacks at the U.S. consulate in Libya in which four Americans died … a foreign policy bungle many Americans attribute to poor leadership from the White House. Scores of Twitter users turned the table, via the hashtag #ASKFLOTUS, and used the first lady’s direct-to-the-people approach to seek serious answers about the troubling events in Libya.

Mrs. Obama’s goal was to discuss her “Let’s Move!” campaign, an all-encompassing push to reduce obesity rates in America, encourage healthy eating and get American youth to partake in a more active lifestyle. She answered questions about portion size and video games and encouraged children to participate in healthy activities with their parents.

And that’s how Storify saw it. If you only read Storify’s account of the exchange, you’d believe that the first lady’s experience was nothing short of unicorns and rainbows in which she answered very simple, predictable questions about encouraging America’s youth to stay active and eat right. (And if I was a true cynic, I’d point out that the questions the first lady answered could have been written by White House staffers, but I digress.)

But the team over at Twitchy made the same observation as Red Alert and chronicled some of the best questions asked of the first lady.

Many were about Benghazi, but not all the questions asked of the first lady were of a serious nature.
