First lady Michelle Obama set out Monday on a listening tour through the federal bureaucracy, stopping first at the Department of Education to thank employees for their service and rally them for the tough work ahead... While at the Education Department, Mrs. Obama committed this howler:
In thanking the workers, she told them: "I am a product of your work."
"I wouldn't be here if it weren't for the public schools that nurtured me and helped me along," said Mrs. Obama, a Chicago native who attended its public schools as a child.
Michelle Obama was born in January 1964. The Department of Education began operation in May 1980, when Mrs. Obama was a 16-year-old high school junior.
Apparently she is unaware that there were public schools before there was a federal Department of Education--though we suppose that's evidence that the department does not bear all the blame for the schools' going downhill.

Stuck on Stupid Ping
NRFPT> Not Ready for Prime Time.
And not to leave out the most highly mentioned in reputation the National Education Association, so non political, and highly academic (sarc)
Thanks to Jimmy (friggen) Carter!!! Well, we now have the next Carter in office, so far, Obambi is making Carter look good.
You got that right, Michelle. It took quite a few million other public school graduates to get you there.
So, she flunked history? Heck, I’ll bet she didn’t even thank Jimmy Carter for the DOE - a payback to the NEA for getting him elected.
Her children are above going to public schools though.
Teehehe! Of course off hand I’d have not known that fact but OTOH I am not first lady either. I am not a product of the DoE!
Bet Michelle didn’t know this !

Nope Carter still is the winner. I am sure that given time (at least a couple more bad appointments) Obama will be very competitive.
ROTFLMAO! What! LMAO.... did she add in all the murdered Babies from her pro Abortion stance? I mean DAMN even at that she is still 150 Million Americans OVER the Real Population!
That woman is STUPID. And a Liar, and a fear monger, and a THIEF! CORRUPTION IN A DRESS!
Dumb as a post.
And those are just her best qualities..........:o)

Stay safe !
Who’s being stupid? The Department of Education was spun-off from the Department of Health, Education and Welfare. The other piece today is the Department of Health and Human Services.
Danae, if you have something to say, just say it!
And her parents named her after the first African American First Lady - or was it the first person to climb Mount Everest? - I forget...
Where are her people? Is she arrogant enough that she doesn’t have people who go over what she says? All of what’s happening is not surprising...it takes lots of experience to bare up to the scrutiny of every word you say. The Obamas are just not qualified for it. They never were.
Have you read her laughable Princeton thesis? One sentence on the first page has three major grammatical errors.
