Michelle Obama's remarks on breast-feeding draw criticism from Palin, Bachmann

Michelle Obama's remarks on breast-feeding draw criticism from Palin, Bachmann: "Within days, the sentence - and a new Internal Revenue Service policy offering tax deductions for breast pumps - had touched off a political firestorm. Rep. Michelle Bachmann (R-Minn.) blasted the Obama administration for trying to impose a 'nanny state' on mothers. Another potential 2012 presidential candidate, former Alaska governor Sarah Palin (R), mockingly said the first lady was trying to compensate for high milk prices. The East Wing withdrew, issuing a brief statement calling the subject 'personal.'"
