(CNSNews.com) – First lady Michelle Obama joked about the explosion of a solar-powered car when encouraging graduates of Oregon State University to persevere through life’s challenges.

One of the examples she gave was of a student who faced severe burns when the $100,000 solar-powered car he helped build exploded and left him with severe burns.

“But when he took it out for a test drive last summer, it caught fire and exploded, and Nicolas sustained second- and third-degree burns on his arm, face and leg. But instead of throwing in the towel, within a month, the team was back at work, building another, hopefully less explosive car,” the first lady continued.

The last line received laughter from the audience.

Yeah, I bet Sitts is laughing with all the burns he has. Hilarious. sarc/

Li is nothing to fool with.

Of course neither is acid nor 3,000 psi natural gas cylinders.

[tractorman]

Who cares if the little people explode.

[Libloather]

"hopefully less explosive car,” the first lady continued.

Pretty funny, Mooch.

[bigbob]

she could have said “He’s lucky, at least it wasn’t a Volt”.

[laweeks]

Who cares if the little people explode.

Besides, he was a white guy, right? White guys on fire! Ha ha Ha! Boy does she have class.

“...so anyway, what I’m trying to say is, if you happen to get burned severely, I’ll be back next year to make fun of you.”

Mooch Obama

Oregon ping...

Lucky he got out alive:

This has to be the most socialistic, liberal and out of touch with the average citizen presidency ever. I can't wait for it to end.

[muawiyah]

Socialists tell us they think about these things. I see no evidence anybody in the Obama regime bothers thinking about anything.

Not that they're not Socialists but really, this is the stupidest bunch of goobers we've ever had at the helm in the federal government.

[Kirkwood]

Biden was heard to complain that the Mooch was stealing his jokes.

[headsonpikes]

I still like her better than him.

[tractorman]

You nailed it!
This administration is all about feelings and not about thinking.

[Clay Moore]

Evidently Mooch has never experienced much of a burn.

A third degree burn is like crumbly black stuff where there was once skin and muscle.

Second degree is giant weeping blisters.

I do not think there is any pain that will approach that of a severe burn and mine was only about 18% second degree.

I doubt the student was laughing. I know I would not.

Nicolas sustained second- and third-degree burns on his arm, face and leg. But instead of throwing in the towel, within a month, the team was back at work, building another car they hoped would finish the job on Nicolas, who like them was an insufferable whiny crying liberal do-gooder.

“I do not think there is any pain that will approach that of a severe burn and mine was only about 18% second degree.”

I had a radiator hose blow off and scald me. No 3rd, but
about half my upper body had severe 2nd or less. Still have
some bad scarring where my shirt held the liquid on my arm.
The first time I smelled antifreeze after the accident I
threw up. Yeah, burns are a real laugh riot.

Am in the mood to repost the entire Vacation Gal series and including the dozens of never-seen-before archives!
