We don’t like being pushed outside of our comfort zones. You know it right here on this campus. You know people sitting at different tables, y’all living in different dorms. I was there. Y’all not talking to each another, taking advantage of the fact that you’re in this diverse community because sometimes it’s easier to hold onto your own stereotypes and misconceptions, it makes you feel justified in your ignorance. That’s America. So the challenge for us is, are we ready for change? – Michelle Obama, January 23rd, 2008, Columbia, South Carolina

The NBC Affiliate in New York City reports that
Michelle Obama praised the diverse graduates of the city’s oldest public institution of higher learning and took a mild swipe at Donald Trump as she delivered the last commencement address of her tenure as U.S. first lady on Friday.
“I really want you all to know that there is a reason why, of all of the colleges and universities in this country, I chose this particular school in this particular city for this special moment,” Obama told the graduates of the City College of New York.
Noting that students at the 169-year-old college come from 150 countries and speak more than 100 languages, she said, “You represent just about every possible background – every color and culture, every faith and walk of life.”
Obama, the wife of Democratic President Barack Obama, told the graduates that “with your glorious diversity, with your remarkable accomplishments and your deep commitment to your communities, you all embody the very purpose of this school’s founding.”
She made a thinly veiled reference to Trump, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, by saying “some folks” don’t value the diversity that City College embodies.
“They seem to view our diversity as a threat to be contained rather than as a resource to be tapped,” Obama said. “They tell us to be afraid of those who are different, to be suspicious of those with whom we disagree.
“They act as if name-calling is an acceptable substitute for thoughtful debate, as if anger and intolerance should be our default state rather than the optimism and openness that have always been the engine of our progress.”
Trump has promised to build a wall between the United States and Mexico, proposed banning Muslims from entering the U.S. and said it’s risky to take in Syrian refugees because terrorists could be among them.
Obama added that “here in America, we don’t give in to our fears. We don’t build up walls to keep people out because we know that our greatness has always depended on contributions from people who were born elsewhere but sought out this country and made it their home.”
City College, founded as the Free Academy of the City of New York in 1847, gained a reputation as the poor man’s Harvard in the 1930s, when it educated a generation of Jewish intellectuals who were shut out of elite private colleges.
The Godfather of Conservative Talk Radio, Rush Limbaugh, once said about outgoing (Thank God) First Lady Michelle Obama that
I think the essence of hope and change, I think the hope was not so much hope for the country’s future economically, hope for people’s personal economic success. I think the hope was that if this country made the statement, a majority white country electing an African-American president, that alone would serve a significant role, play a significant role and cause there to be massive progress toward eliminating, or not eliminating, but reducing the racial strife in this country, and the exact opposite has happened.
Rush is right.
Like her husband, President Barack Hussein Obama, Michelle Obama has done her best to play The Race Card at every opportunity.
In this case, by erroneously claiming that the reason Donald J. Trump’s. along with the majority of Americans’, desire to secure our Southern Border, is because we have a fear of people who look different from us.
If that were the case, American would have never become the “Great American Melting Pot”, as the old cartoon from Scholastic Rock, that we used to watch as kids on Saturday Mornings on ABC, so aptly explained.
And, “The Donald” would have an all-white workforce in his companies.
This country was built by LEGAL IMMIGRANTS of all Ethic Backgrounds, who assimilated into our culture and became AMERICANS, who were loyal to their now-found country, not the country that they left behind to come here for a better life.
“Mooch” is purposefully assigning a “nobility” and “righteousness” to those who would enter this country illegally, to take American Jobs , while remaining loyal to their country of origin and to those who are entering illegally for the purpose of destroying our nation through the mindless violence of Islamic Terrorism.
Michelle Obama does not speak for the overwhelming majority of Americans.
She never has.
Most of the other First Ladies in my 56 years have brought a certain degree of class and decorum to their unelected position as “FLOTUS”.
Hillary Clinton being a notable exception.
Where that woman spits, grass never grows again.
But, I digress…
Michelle Robinson Obama is the most useless, racially divisive, and downright hateful excuse for a First Lady that this country has ever seen.
Bess Truman was Mother Teresa compared with the woman whom I affectionately refer to as “Mooch”…
Her expensive tastes, which include Wagyu Beef and Lobster, her penchant for taking the most expensive vacations ever imagined by man (with larger entourages than an NBA Player), along with her attempts at telling Americans what we HAVE to feed our children and grandchildren, and how we should be raising them, have not exactly endeared herself to the overwhelming majority of Americans.
Quite frankly, all of us out here in the Heartland, think that she stinks on ice.
For Michelle Obama to drop her carefully concealed mask of racial intolerance this late in the game, with still time left in her husband’s presidency, shows how little regard she has, not only for the decorum of her position, but, for the well-being of America and her citizens, both black and white.
She’s classless.
That being said, here is a little ditty I wrote a while back, in “honor” of the most beloved mate of a national leader since Eva Braun:
50 Ways to Get Your Mooch On (to the tune of “50 Ways to Leave Your Lover” by Paul Simon)
A young lady came up to
The First Lady
She said, “Like you I want to
get everything free”
‘Chelle said, “You’ve come to the right
person, baby”
I’ll teach you fifty ways
To get your “mooch” on
She said it’s easy if you put
your mind to it
By gaming the system
you can get a lot of sh#t.
In Presidential Politics,
Taxpayers’ money you will get
And, if you’re a Democrat
if you’re caught, they will acquit
There are Fifty ways to get your ‘mooch’ on
[CHORUS:]
Go vay-cay in Spain, Jane
Get you some pearls, girl
Chow down on Wagyu,Sue
Pay attention to me
Just listen to ‘Chelle, Nell
You don’t need a brain cell
Marry The Prez, honey
And get it for free
She said I hope my rap
Is getting through to you
I am laying it out very plainly
These things that you should do
The girl said,” I am diggin’ this,
But, would please tell me some more 50 Ways”?
‘Chelle said. “Please take everything I’m telling you
and place it in your heart
Marrying a politician is
a great place to start”
And, then ‘Chelle left her
And she caught on to the game
‘Chelle did have 50 ways to get her “mooch” on
50 Ways to get her “mooch” on
CHORUS:
Go vay-cay in Spain, Jane
Get you some pearls, girl
Chow down on Wagyu,Sue
Pay attention to me
Just listen to ‘Chelle, Nell
You don’t need a brain cell
Marry The Prez, honey
And get it for free.
It is a shame that we can’t impeach the President’s Spouse.
Until He Comes,
KJ
