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.
Yes.
Moochelle? I just call her Mike, as in Bork and Mike Obunga, sort of like the Adams family...
Sounds like you could use prayers as well. :/
I would boycott.
Your daughter will understand.
I will not be humiliated by government thugs for any event or for any person.
I am pretty sure the Secret Service has shoot on sight orders for any hecklers of the Red Queen.
I suppose neither of you can take your iPod/MP3 players with earphones and listen to something worthwhile during The Speech instead?

Yes, that would be the best choice, thanks, I just needed to vent :-)
I’d skip the university-wide commencement with Mz Obama, and just go to the college ceremony that will actually give your daughter her degree.
Jimmy Carter spoke at my commencement. That stunk.
You have it worse. Far worse.
Bring a sign. Something simple and courteous like, “AMF in November.”
If the SS guards do not allow a sign, heckle. Your daughter will be proud.
Ask her if she’s ashamed to be an American again
Probably banned.
For just that very reason.
Personally, I think it really sucks that such a wonderful event has to be spoiled by the presence of WH ghetto trash.
Show class, don’t spoil your daughter’s graduation and be quiet and dignified (i.e. do NOT heckle, do NOT make comments even under your breath, much less aloud) - enjoy your daughter’s graduation.
Congratulations.
Throw a shoe at her?
Sure you can, but you have to be prepared for the consequences - being ejected, questioned by the SS, etc. Also, would your daughter approve or be horrified?
A friend of mine is going down there too. He is dreading having to listen to her drivel. At least thanks to nepotism you got the worst coach in the conference.
Pray for America
This is collage I presume.
Just make sure she knows what you are planning. If she is agreed, she might join you. Your relationship with her is paramount to the joy you would get heckling.
My two daughters would understand yet be mortified.
My oldest grandson would heckle her with me.
My my friends son graduated from University of Chicago law school, Clinton was the speaker and greater of the class. When it was his turned, he walked up looked the president in the eye, and said “no thank you” and walked off the stadium.
Good luck, whatever you decide.
