Many Americans are counting the days until President Obama and his wife Michelle leave the White House, and the first lady may be among them.

Delivering the commencement speech for the City College in New York on Friday, she turned the graduation speech into a racial rallying cry.

She even managed to take shots at presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump along the way.

Michelle told the graduates that they ought to beware of people who want to “build up walls to keep people out” and that the “story” of America is the story of immigrants.

“It’s the story that I witness every single day,” she said, “when I wake up in a house that was built by slaves

Anyone besides me counting the days until this first family is out of the White House. In her address she did not need to mention the part about the white house built by slaves......that was not very first ladyish of her

[Dilbert San Diego]

Is it even true???

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Moochelle would own slaves in a heartbeat if she thought she could get away with it.

They used slaves during the Truman Reconstruction of 1948-1952?

These two grifter affirmative action a##hats are the worst

Traditionally the First Lady has ONE and maybe TWO full-time assistants.

Hillary was a flyer with FOUR.

Michelle has TWENTY SIX..!

The most by a MILE in US history.

I have a solution... GET OUT!!

“when I wake up in a house that was built by slaves”

If it’s so offensive, move out.

[JudyinCanada]

Seems to me that the American taxpayers are serving as slaves to the two of them.

[OldNewYork]

I have a solution for you, Michelle. Get out.

And were those slaves descended from the ones captured and sold by your husband’s Mohammadan ancestors?

[Rurudyne]

And we wake up to a country run by lawless scum like your hubby, Michelle, and have since FDR oozed his way across the national stage.

That’s way, way worse than waking up to an awareness of something that’s in the past.

Michelle's GARDENING BOOTS cost $450

[The Toll]

Slaves never built anything. Their descendents live in shithuts in Africa to this day.

[GeorgiaDawg32]

"beware of people who want to “build up walls to keep people out” That's rich coming from someone who lives behind a wall/fence which was just raised several feet

[Brooklyn Attitude]

This constant pity party palaver is getting pretty tiresome. Built by slaves, occupied by ******s.

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

Then why in the hell did you want to live there in the first place, bi0tch?

[I got the rope]

Yes, when you bother to watch “Roots”, Kwante was captured by his own kind.

[VerySadAmerican]

All she has to do is move out. Personally, I’ve never liked that her or Hillary lived there.
