First lady Michelle Obama says in the years ahead, she’ll spend more and more of her time trying to get “underserved” young people into college.

Speaking at the White House on Thursday, she told a gathering of college administrators they must do more to encourage poor kids to enroll in their schools—an effort that will benefit the schools as well:

So believe me, these will be some of the best alumni you could possibly ask for, because after everything these kids will have overcome to get into college and get through college, believe me, they will have all the skills they need to run our businesses and our labs and to teach in our classrooms and to lead our communities.

Just look at me…and the countless success stories from the organizations and schools represented here in this room. That’s how we will win—this country. We will win by tapping the full potential of all of our young people, so that we can grow our economy and move this country forward. …

Sasha and Malia never smile either. Always a sour puss look on their faces like they can’t stand associating with the peasants.

Yes, fill up the colleges with unqualified, uninterested persons, who will graduate with worthless degrees and no skills or abilities whatsoever. Then probably you can pass laws and regulations to force companies to hire these graduates, and ruin the companies in the competitive global arena.
