Michelle Obama tells graduates to reject ‘selfish’ leaders
The Wasnington Times ^ | May 26, 2016 | Dave Boyer

In a swipe at Republicans in general and Donald Trump in particular, first lady Michelle Obama urged native American high school graduates Thursday to reject leaders who advocate “that we should be selfish.”

“More than ever before, our world needs you,” Mrs. Obama told students at the Santa Fe Indian School in New Mexico. “And you don’t need your first lady to tell you that. All you have to do is tune into the news and you’ll see that right now, some of the loudest voices in our national conversation are saying things that go against every single one of the values that you’ve been living at this school.”

The first lady never mentioned a candidate by name, or even a political party, but it was clear she was referring to the GOP and its presumptive nominee, Mr. Trump. She said the values of her opponents “are not the values that build strong families.”

“They’re telling us that we should disrespect others because of who they are or where they come from or how they worship,” Mrs. Obama said. “They’re telling us that we should be selfish — that folks who are struggling don’t deserve our help. That we should just take what we can from life and not worry about anyone else.”

Mr. Trump, of course, has proposed a temporary ban on Muslims entering the U.S. and has called for building a wall along the Mexican border.

We all understand and feel the same way but hang in there. The sun WILL come up tomorrow even tho’ it’s getting harder and harder to accept what we are bombarded with each and every day. No - we do not have to accept it but we can file it away and hang on to our remaining sanity!!

Thank you both for your responses to my rant. Sometimes I can’t seem to contain my anger at the injustice of having these two phonies inflicted on this country.

What is the deal with all the political crap at commencement ceremonies? Whatever happened to the “seize the future” kind of stuff that used to be the norm? I’m so tired of these people who think they have a right to foist their political opinions on everyone.

I still think the reason Obama’s older daughter is not going to college right away is so she can take a few more taxpayer funded vacations with her parents before dad leaves office.
