I think you are correct ...It says a lot that no one here has commented on this

Im not saying Obamas wife is without some serious shortcomings but illiteracy is not in evidence here.

Why not? The communist community organizer got elected twice.

Yet, I would bet a dozen doughnuts that she would fail. She does not have that "marketing" appeal, IMO, despite all the MSM and voter fraud.

So in this program, I think I cannot only learn about the language, ...

She needs to learn the English language first. I feel sorry for the translator.

Nope. The “student’s “ question was articulate and made sense.

Michelle’s reply was the stuttering gibberish .

Someone sent me the link to Mooch’s thesis and I almost read it but I decided I could do without the brain damage it would cause.

That was Barbara Billingsley aka June Cleaver who could translate jive.

She rambles on about new cultures and encourages young people to make mistakes. What parent in their right mind would tell their kids to go make mistakes and to not let fear impact their decisions?

It's pretty standard commencement address material. "Making mistakes" in this context doesn't mean developing addictions or becoming a criminal. It just means taking chances and not being too afraid to act.

Maybe Michelle Obama's "your parents told you one thing, and the big government lady who knows better will tell you something different" tone is off-putting, but telling young adults not to be afraid to make mistakes -- say, to interview for a job they may not get or take on a heavier workload -- isn't the worst advice.

One of those situations in which I really, really hope that I am wrong.

[Kackikat]

Amen.

[P.O.E.]

So she basically did a questionnaire and quoted a bunch of black/white-relations pieces that others wrote?

Excellent post!
