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.
If outdoor ceremony, pray for HEAVY RAIN. Happened at our sons grad years ago. Never had to hear the speech but diplomas were awarded. Take umbrella .. God will not be mocked.
Never, ever, donate to such a place after she graduates. And, please tell them why..
My question: Can I boo or heckle at these type of high-profile FLOTUS events?
Are you an American?
Then YES you can heckle a socialist using your daughters special day for a political campaign....
The graduation isn’t about you or Moochele, it is about your daughter. It wouldn’t be fair to your daughter to heckle if it is going to cause her embarrassment.
I feel terrible for you, really. Do whatever your daughter wants: it’s her graduation. Mine would want her diploma mailed to her, I think, but fortunately, the issue hasn’t come up!
thanks to nepotism you got the worst coach in the conference.
So true.
I won't really heckle, but I definately won't applaud!
If you consider yourself to be a member of the "vast right wing conspiracy" I humbly believe you are obligated to heckle.
One of the most obvious moves would be a hat made from a 32 oz big gulp cup. That should be a highly visible stand out!
I was going to suggest you dress up as chewbacca (if indoor), but since it is your daughter’s graduation, never mind.
Citizen: (at SS search point) Show me your search warrant.
SS: This is just for your safety sir...
Citizen: You are a government officer, anything you might find may be used in a prosecution against me. If you were serious about having a security check for my own protection, you would have just used university security. You are conducting a search that may lead to my arrest, barring my entry into a public event. Show me a search warrant to conduct this search.
SS: Umm...
Citizen: You do have a judge on call just to handle this type of request, right?
SS: Sir, you either need to submit to the screening or step out of line.
Citizen: You are barring me from a public event, conducting a search that may lead to my arrest. Such searches require either my consent or a search warrant. I do not consent to the search, where is your warrant?
SS: Err...
Mooch also spoke at my daughter’s graduation; she’s a far better speaker than her wimpy husband. I didn’t heckle, but neither did I applaud. The high spot of the ceremony was Dave Brubeck receiving an honorary doctorate (I applauded for him).
Be respectful for your daughter’s sake and the sake of the position of First Lady, but tweet your feelings about her bs speech all during.
I quit sending money to Purdue after they had Bill Ayers on campus for a speech. If she doesn’t have to walk, I would have a party at home, wait for the postman to deliver the diploma and have him present it. Be sure to take a picture with him.
Turn your back to her and hope that others join in otherwise I vote for showing up after she is done.
Acute tourette syndrome.

The goofy gal kept repeating that the kids should have “Piss in their hats”.
Later one somebody claimed that she was saying “Peace in their hearts”, but “Piss their hats” makes more sense for a college graduation address.
ROTFLMAO, I may try that :-)
That is sucky. Lose-lose.
I neglected to add that the SS screening was very perfunctory.
