Michelle Obama has rescheduled a high school graduation speech after the students complained that her appearance would prevent many of their friends and relatives from attending the ceremony.

The First Lady was scheduled to speak at a combined graduation ceremony for five high schools in Topeka, Kansas, on May 17 but will now be speaking at a different 'senior recognition day' ceremony the day before.

'Once we learned about the concerns of some students, we were eager to find a solution that enabled all of the students and their families to celebrate the special day,' said the First Lady's communications director, Maria Cristina Gonzalez Noguera.

“Maybe people are regaining their personal Mojo and courage.”

Coming back to life again.

Probably; chances are Michelle is upset that she isn’t being allowed to run the country and Michell and Obama are not handling the criticism as well since they are unused to it.

This is better; a petition signed by the citizenry and making it oh so publicly clear that she isn’t wanted.

Once we learned about the concerns of some students ...
Some? I think there were over 1500 students who complained.

I’m not sure, but I do know that phrase, Magic Negro, was originally penned by an LA Times writer. Rush got blamed for it, but it wasn’t true.

It’s a step in the right direction; besides, I rather like the public slap in the face. Moochelle thought she would be able to lord it over so many people and go figure, she isn’t.

“Once we learned about the concerns of some students, we were eager to find a solution”...because we were too stupid to figure this out ahead of time.
After all, moochie thinks of herself as royalty, and thinks everyone wants her presence whenever possible.

Fully agree; these students have a right to decide who goes to their graduation ceremony.

You’re probably right. She’ll just do like Bill and Hillary do. I’d be willing to be those two haven’t slept in the same bed since way before Monica.

It’s a shame the coward gave himself perpetual Secret Service protection under the guise of terrorism. He did it for himself, but he had to include W in it too to cut down on the flak he’d get. If I were the next President, I’d nullify that EO.

So now both the Top Cop and the Top Cow have been publically dissed. Is it morning in America, yet?

I think that in the case of FLOTUS the people foresaw their town under lockdown by the Secret Service with armed govags outnumbering participants, and said no thanks!
