TRANSCRIPT: Hello everyone, I’m Michelle Obama, and on this Mother’s Day weekend, I want to take a moment to honor all the mothers out there and wish you a Happy Mother’s Day.
I also want to speak to you about an issue of great significance to me as a First Lady, and more importantly, as the mother of two young daughters.
Like millions of people across the globe, my husband and I are outraged and heartbroken over the kidnapping of more than 200 Nigerian girls from their school dormitory in the middle of the night.
This unconscionable act was committed by a terrorist group determined to keep these girls from getting an education – grown men attempting to snuff out the aspirations of young girls.
And I want you to know that Barack has directed our government to do everything possible to support the Nigerian government’s efforts to find these girls and bring them home.
In these girls, Barack and I see our own daughters. We see their hopes, their dreams – and we can only imagine the anguish their parents are feeling right now.
Many of them may have been hesitant to send their daughters off to school, fearing that harm might come their way.
But they took that risk because they believed in their daughters’ promise and wanted to give them every opportunity to succeed.
The girls themselves also knew full well the dangers they might encounter.
Their school had recently been closed due to terrorist threats…but these girls still insisted on returning to take their exams.

The Obamas doing a Rope-A-Dope.
She whines and cries about the kidnapped girls.
He make concerned sounding statements about the kidnappings.
But both of them know he will do nothing to help the girls because the kidnappers are black and muslim.
“And that’s true right here in the U.S. as well…so I hope the story of these Nigerian girls will serve as an inspiration for every girl – and boy – in this country.
I hope that any young people in America who take school for granted – any young people who are slacking off or thinking of dropping out – I hope they will learn the story of these girls and recommit themselves to their education.”
She could not help take a swipe at America.
Wasn’t it her pal in Bush years who said Madrassas were a good example of community education investment?

After having this transvestite and his wife Barack ignore America’s predominantly white middle class for more than five years, it is very easy to see this story as completely irrelevant to my people. Now that white women see themselves losing the privileges of affirmative action, I assume they couldn’t care less about this either. We can’t even deal with Islam within our own borders; don’t expect Americans to be up in arms about it thousands of miles away.
