Sludge in the Garden
by Mike Krumboltz

YAHOONEWS: New homes are full of questions and possibilities. What color to paint the walls? How to arrange the furniture? What to plant in the garden? The Obama family must have asked a lot of those same questions when they moved into the White House. However, the first lady's dreams of growing an organic vegetable garden have been dragged down by a previous resident that refuses to leave: sludge.
Various sources within the Buzz are reporting that Michelle Obama's "organic" garden has been besieged by icky goo in the ground. As a result, the veggies aren't quite what the first lady had in mind. According to Daily Finance, the National Park Service tested the soil in the vegetable patch and found "highly elevated levels of lead" due to sewage used as fertilizer.
So the question is: Who to blame? While dumping sewage into the ground sounds like a crime worthy of Mr. Burns from "The Simpsons," the actual perpetrators were none other than the Clintons. Yep, back when Bill and Hillary were living it up in the White House, their gardening team used "sewage sludge for fertilizer." The fiends!
Sounds gross, but it's actually fairly common. However, it does mean that the highly touted "organic garden" will never "attain organic status." The certification process doesn't allow "the use of sludge as a fertilizer substitute." And there's another problem: If Malia and Sasha weren't into eating their veggies before, it's going to be that much harder to get 'em to eat 'em now.
LOLs!!!

And I am half joking about this but you wait it will all be removed at our expense.

Lead is like Herpes. Forever.
To laugh at someone else's misfortune is, well.....

It's called "schadenfreude." My favorite word...[:D]

i can see the lead, but it states icky goo
Sheesh! It's a historical site! Can you imagine a foreign dignitary, stepping out onto the Truman Balcony, and seeing rows of sugar-snap peas?

The staff should've kept this a secret and even though it would've taken a little time we could have had a new Chief. [:0]
Just saying...[}:)]
It was a passing thought. maybe that was gass instead.[;)]
added note : maybe they could recind the finding and say there was a mistake in the reading and will have to re-test the soil samples.[:o)]
We as tax payers will have to pay millions of our tax dollars to have all the soil removed from the White House and replace with newer more green soil to save the world !
Can you remove soil and replace it to save the world? Where would that "bad soil" have to go? Things that make you say Hmmm...

You don't want that. Yes, it takes a while, and in that time the victim goes crazy, becomes hostile.
A lead-poisoned Obama would have launched a nuke strike on Canada.

Or Mexico.[;)][}:)][:o)]
But I think VP Biden would've talked him out of either action.[:p]
Tear up the garden. Return the national historic site to its former pristine condition. It should be terraced, manicured, and pruned.
Sheesh! It's a historical site! Can you imagine a foreign dignitary, stepping out onto the Truman Balcony, and seeing rows of sugar-snap peas?

That would be much easier on the eyes than seeing Michelle in one of those multi-colored blouses she wears or Obama's big ears! Sugar-snap peas are much better to look at than those two Communists!!
