(CNSNews.com) – First lady Michelle Obama joked about the explosion of a solar-powered car when encouraging graduates of Oregon State University to persevere through life’s challenges.
One of the examples she gave was of a student who faced severe burns when the $100,000 solar-powered car he helped build exploded and left him with severe burns.
“But when he took it out for a test drive last summer, it caught fire and exploded, and Nicolas sustained second- and third-degree burns on his arm, face and leg. But instead of throwing in the towel, within a month, the team was back at work, building another, hopefully less explosive car,” the first lady continued.
The last line received laughter from the audience.

She is clueless and tactless.
How about offering prayers for a speedy recovery for him?
She cant help it. She is just stupid.
FU, you fat cow.
“...so anyway, what I’m trying to say is, if you happen to get burned severely, I’ll be back next year to make fun of you.”
Mooch Obama”
Omigosh...that is totally “it”.
Not only classless, but extremely not empathetic, nor sympathetic.
Very cold...two peas in a pod.
“I still like her better than him.”
No kidding? WHY???
She is ever the beyotch, and wears the mom jeans in the family.
You don’t think she is in absolute, total control...she and Jarrett?
Do you really think that his awesome self cares about anything? Other than being his awesome self with a lot of power and fantastic tee times?
Two peas in a pod, or just a dim bulb. It’s a toss up for me.
My bad - I was attempting a witticism.
Just like her baby daddy she is an idiot.
*face palm*
I should have known that.
You are nothing, if not witty. Excuse me for my sour mood. It seems to be the times we live in. I hate when this happens.
;o)
Did 2nd degree to my whole back as a kid from sunburn.
No fun.
Everything sticks to you.
