First lady Michelle Obama advised the 2015 graduates at Oberlin that they'll find a world of clamor and conflict that will beset them outside the protected lives they've led in college. And, she told them, they should embrace it.
Outside that atmosphere of safety, what Obama referred to as four years of "thoughtful, respectful discussion, debate and late-night conversations," she posited that graduates might find themselves "a little dismayed by the clamor outside these walls: the name calling, the negative ads, the folks yelling at each other on TV."
"Today I want to suggest that if you truly wish to carry on the Oberlin legacy of service and social justice, then you need to run to and not away from the noise," she said.
Obama prodded the students, too, saying, that with their Oberlin degrees and "all the status and connections that degree confers," they "don't get to be precious or cautious or cynical," and she identified the areas for the graduates to tackle: "Climate change, economic inequality, human rights, criminal justice - these are the revolutions of your time.

Preaching to the choir, I assume.
Did she address them as “comrades”?
And her private airplane more than likely stopped everyone in their travels to accommodate her..
I wondered why she wasn’t with the loser at Arlington today and neither daughter could go with him...probably playing on their phones..
One good thing...we only have to put up with him for one more Memorial Day Event...
wake up voters and send them all home for good...not just for a Holiday event...
How about, grow up, work hard, don’t whine, support yourself and your family, don’t think of yourself as a victim—because you are not, support your community, encourage your kids to work hard and do their best in school. You are blessed with a good education, and basic capability to perform. Don’t waste it. Don’t blame any of your mistakes or failings on your race. Your race will have nothing to do with it. Your drive, education, and personal integrity and character will have everything to do with your success or failure.
"Obey your marching orders like the New Socialist Men and Wymyn you are! Up the Revolution Forever!"
WH advisors probably were against it. Didn’t want to risk her mouthing to Hussein “All this for a damn corpse!”
Mooochelle has got the ugliest facial expressions of any first lady that I have ever seen. Does she practice in front of a mirror, to see which facial expression is the most ugly or most grotesque? That’s gotta be it. She is one butt-ass ugly first lady (and I use the term first lady loosely.) She’s anything but first lady in my book.
Who in their right mind would want ‘wife of pantload’ to address them? (they aren’t in a right mind)
You’ve got to be seriously damaged, to not realize what this administration is up to, and think they’re someone with high enough ideals to address a group.
Shockingly naive.
Gawd. I’ll be so glad to see her fat @ss, bitter demeanor, and rubber face leave the WH.
Thats called white privilege according to the black oppressed...
What awful thing did these kids do to deserve this?
And the graduates received more worthless BS.
dayum Lena Dunham got passed over- for sure she should have spoken......... /s
Those “kids” deserve it.Just for being who they are.
Mich, when people act as bad as your husband and you do, they need to be called on it. Sorry but you chumps deserve every bit of the ridicule you get. Even after all the harm (treasonous acts) your husband has done to this nation you’re probably going to walk away from the WH as billionaires and not be put in jail so if I were you, i’d just shut up and stop complaining.
"I'm first lady of the United States of America -- that's pretty high up...But I've always felt like my life is ever-evolving.
I don't have the right to just sit on my talents or blessings, I've got to keep figuring out ways to have an impact -- whether as a mother or as a professional or as a mentor to other kids."~Michelle Obama

That Facial expression I believe is one of her WORST...
and do any of you believe that head of hair is her own?? wonder how many wigs she has? because she has very nappy hair, and more than likely her head is shaved for these wigs to fit so well..just once I would love to see the wind whip it off...that would be so ENTERTAINING..
SHE IS FAKE FROM THE TOP DOWN...AND TITLE, FIRST LADY DOES NOT FIT HER AT ALL.
She has been there on past Memorial Days...bet Val Jar was there with him...
