My feelings are bittersweet. The love of my life, my 22 year old daughter is graduating from Oregon State University tomorrow. That's the sweet part.
The bitter part is that the commencement speaker is none other than Moochelle 0bama, a woman I politically abhor!
You want more bitter? It's on FATHERS'S DAY!!
Need more bitter?
I have to show up at the venue at 1:30, undergo a TSA type pat-down and then wait until 5:30 for Moochelle to give the Commencement speech, then the diplomas are awarded.
My question: Can I boo or heckle at these type of high-profile FLOTUS events?
BTW, my daughter feels the same way about Moochelle.
Good to hear you and Zach will be spending some time together. Ballgames on the agenda? Have a great time doing 'father & son' things!
Happy Fathers Day!! (hugs)
Not only CAN you, as a Freeper, American and Patiot - YOU'RE EXPECTED TO!!
Hey, we need an After Action Report! How did it go? Daughter all graduated now? Did she walk? Inquiring minds want to know! ;o)
Ok, OK, sheesh :-)
The graduation went fine, my daughter walked and I didn't heckle.
Actually Moochelle's speech was not political at all, she just encouraged the graduates to do well, yada, yada, yada.
She did however allude that her and her brother Craig, (Oregon State's basketball coach), grew up poor, walked 15 miles to school, uphill both ways, yada, yada, yada, never had anything given to them, they earned it, yada, yada, yada, ad nauseum.
Interestingly, when Mrs. 0bama finished, about half of the 30,000 or so got up and left the stadium.
I was real proud of my daughter, she will always be the love of my life!
never had anything given to them
Gag me!
