HEADS UP!! Just so you don't accidentally tune in. May 16, root canal with no pain meds. Not that many of us would anyway. And, the link this goes to is an AP story with a big photo of 'the won'. So, looking at those participating, some would suspect the usual assclowns will heap praise on the event. Maybe the obxxx youts job corpse drum and fife band and twerk brigade will perform.

I understand the main part of the speech has already been leaked. It says:

“BOW DOWN AND WORSHIP ME!”

Its indicative of the leftist view of education over all.

Exceedingly stupid and low-brow entertainment, combined with activist politics.

To summarize.

America is even more racist.

And we need bigger government and more regulations and higher taxes.

Chicago schools? Does the graduating class read, write, and understand English? The commencement speech probably needs to be laced with a lot of Ebonics to make sure his point is made.

Given Obama’s well-demonstrated “crap touch” with everything he comes in contact with, we can all surely expect this to be a total cluster****
