Yes, I think they would have said the same thing.

As I have said before, the local government administration idiots who thought it would be a great idea to invite either the POTUS or the First Lady to speak at a joint 5 school graduation ceremony went beyond merely stupid.

The onus is on them, and I think the locals should demand their names, publically denounce them, and look at firing all of them.

They’re dropping like flies: first Holder bows out of a graduation speech, and now Michelle.

And hildabeaste ran away from San Diego.

A pity, 1750 student loan applications suddenly declined.

“Shucks, I am gonna guess this will be the last time Michelle tries to set foot in our FAIR STATE again.”

But I’d bet she’d win a Blue Ribbon in the cattle barn if she visits your STATE FAIR!! :)

And the prospect of the Secret Service placing the school & its environs under total guns-shoved-in-your-face lockdown didn’t help, either.

I thought my graduation class of 525 was a large one. 1750 is huge.

Oh, trust me Topeka, Shawnee County, KS (the State Capitol) is reliably blue and the head of the District, a woman, was probably the one forced to retract the invitation because she was forcing five (5) high schools into one venue, effectively eliminating many family members from seeing their graduating senior, graduate!

Not only could many family members be unable to attend, Mou-chelle would have packed the (very small convention center, by Obama standards) with gub'mint state union workers as well as the entire Democrat Party of Kansas, her usual cast of thousands traveling companions (so she will always have fawning groupies to gaze upon her), Secret Service, etc so there probably wouldn't even be room for the graduating seniors from the five (5) Topeka high schools!

Even with the Obama voting families from Topeka, who'd otherwise be thrilled to be in the presence of their Queen-Bee, would still like to attend their own kid's graduation and not be forced to listen to her "really BIG thighness" drone on about Brown v. Board of Education, being the great cause of being proud of her country, oops, not the reason of her pride, but I digress.

She probably also got the potential head count of how many they could crowd in that venue and decided the small venue and crowd just wasn't up to a woman of her stature.

This is, after all, Kansas!

Perhaps the Secret Service did not want to have to wear raincoats to protect them from the rotten tomatoes which would be thrown at this hostile commie wife of an incompetent
husband best known as bathhouse barry.

Actually, the students were just plain ticked off that (thanks to Moochelle) their school lunches had become inedible.

I highly doubt it.
Seb will become a DC lobbyist/consultant making 10x what she did for the fedgov.

I wonder if the school will provide grief counselors?

I wonder if the school will provide party planners?
