The First Lady came out in favor of better quality food for our fat, lazy kids and they blasted her. Shit, she came out and said that we need to drink more water and the repukes came out as anti-water.

Doesn't mean that Doing X is a bad thing, or that the job losses can't be mitigated by opening up jobs elsewhere.
