An estimated crowd of 12,000 attended the afternoon ceremony on May 16, despite sweltering temperatures and a harsh afternoon sun. Almost all members – 511 of 517 – of the graduating class were also on hand. And a price tag of $1,000,000.00. Just wow.

The missing 6 will have a bright future. They know she’s a waste of time and would rather use their time for other productive endeavors.

Average cost per student per year in the UC is $25,000. So that is 10 students’ entire 4 year career that were wasted to hear the dumbest and ugliest 1st lady ever.

This must be one of those indicators that the stimulus has worked and all is going to be fine now.

$400,000 for AV?
$300,000 for transportation?
These people are absolutely insane. A totally bankrupt state paying that much for any speaker is sheer lunacy.
No comment on the character of the speaker.

You couldn't pay me enough to listen to this unaccomplished Chicago thug spew her racist, hate-America filth. There isn't enough soap in the world to wash that stain off.

Bump!
Government waste at it’s finest.

It certainly explains WHY the state is bankrupt.

That’s what I thot—and of all places to descend—California?!!! Isn’t Merced near where they have caused a drought from shutting off irrigation canals to farmers due to a small smelt/guppy?

Yes. Nothing, absolutely nothing, gets through to our “public servants.” Are they all stupid when elected? Or does getting elected make you stupid?
To: Jean S
Folks....that is the cost of a real education....
