First Lady Speaks to Graduates Who Inspired Her

[Nonno]

"Michelle Obama on Saturday encouraged the first full graduating class at the University of California, Merced, to better their communities by using the same determination they had shown in bringing her to campus.

“A few people may be wondering why did I choose the University of California, Merced, to deliver my first commencement speech as first lady,” Mrs. Obama said. “The answer is simple: you inspired me, you touched me.

“There are few things that are more rewarding than to watch young people recognize that they have the power to make their dreams come true. And you did just that.”

Mrs. Obama was drafted to speak here at the smallest, newest campus in the University of California system through a lobbying effort by students and their families. They peppered the White House with letters, videos and hundreds of Valentine’s Day cards.

“And let me tell you, it worked,” she said. “Because I’m here.”

The speech capped weeks of anticipation at the university for an event that left some students star-struck on a blazingly bright and hot afternoon."

Hmmmmm.... the horseface takes over 40 years to finally be proud of her country and then another year to two to be inspired. I wonder if anyone has thought to check her thyroid hormone level. She's just not firing on all 10 cylinders.

And remember, you don't have to accomplish a thing yourself if you marry well!!

A Black Hillary Clinton, just what we need..

So we can look forward to her running for the Senate on her husbands coat tails.. a presidential run of her own in 2016 or 2020..

They would have been better off asking a head of industry that actually accomplished something themselves despite their husbands..

Why not speak in California.

Her Momma's raising the kids , and it doesnt cost HER anything to fly out there, she is on the gubmint's dime.
Why shouldn't she be proud of her $300,000 dollar job at the hospital her husband earned it for her by sending them money.

One thing we can all not be proud of and that's that you three clowns live in America!

Guess her husband won't be saying, "and let me tell you, if it had worked, you wouldn't be here" when he gives his commencement address at ND

I don't go back to that thread. It's to embarrassing to watch you try to recover from a hopeless trouncing. I understand there is a surgical procedure where they can take fat from your butt and inject it into your offending organ. There's plenty of butt in your case so I'd look into if I had your shrinking problem.
