Complete Headline: Michelle Obama Tells Grads: ‘I Could Take Up a Whole Afternoon Talking About’ Barack Obama’s Failures

First lady Michelle Obama in her commencement speech at a high school in Nashville, Tenn., on Saturday said she could “take up a whole afternoon talking about” her husband’s failures.

“And then there’s this guy, Barack Obama, who lost – I could take up a whole afternoon talking about his failures, but – he lost his first race for Congress, and now he gets to call himself my husband,” she told graduates of Martin Luther King Jr. Magnet High School during commencement exercises held at Tennessee State University.

Mrs. Obama told students that “failure is the key to success for so many great people,” pointing to Apple CEO Steve Jobs and Oprah Winfrey.

“Take Steve Jobs, who was fired from Apple early in his career, and now his iPods and iPads and iPhones have revolutionized the entire world. Oprah was demoted from her first job as a news anchor, now she doesn’t even need a last name,” the first lady said.

Mrs. Obama said she learned in college that “when something doesn’t go your way, you’ve just got to adjust.”

“You’ve got to dig deep and work like crazy.

I'll bet that any of you Freepers could take a lot longer than that talking about the idiot's failures ... and it would take a lot longer than that to think up a dozen or so of his legitimate successes.

And I'll bet she does, when they're together.

But I am thankful for every morning that I wake up, glance over at my wife, and she's NOT Michelle Obama. One more reason to count myself blessed.

She said it’s almost as if Barack isn’t interested in women at all.

It’s likely to take well into the night, Moochie, so get in the kitchen, make some sandwiches and bake some cookies, while the adults talk. We’ll take some lemonade and milk, too!!

We’ve taken up 5 years and we’re still just scratching the surface of the massive failure that is Barack Obama.

I am sure she could take up a lot more time than that. She will never mention that his biggest failure was marrying her.

I just bet she and her Momma have spent many an hour talking about Barrys failures, with that sour look and pout she alway wears

no wonder the guy took up man vacations and golf without her or the girls to get away from the nagging, even when he is on fambly “vacation”

She’s better watch out ... the IRS might decide to investigate her for saying that.
