Michelle Obama tells graduates to reject ‘selfish’ leaders
The Wasnington Times ^ | May 26, 2016 | Dave Boyer

Posted on 05/26/2016 2:25:15 PM PDT by jazusamo

In a swipe at Republicans in general and Donald Trump in particular, first lady Michelle Obama urged native American high school graduates Thursday to reject leaders who advocate “that we should be selfish.”

“More than ever before, our world needs you,” Mrs. Obama told students at the Santa Fe Indian School in New Mexico. “And you don’t need your first lady to tell you that. All you have to do is tune into the news and you’ll see that right now, some of the loudest voices in our national conversation are saying things that go against every single one of the values that you’ve been living at this school.”

The first lady never mentioned a candidate by name, or even a political party, but it was clear she was referring to the GOP and its presumptive nominee, Mr. Trump. She said the values of her opponents “are not the values that build strong families.”

“They’re telling us that we should disrespect others because of who they are or where they come from or how they worship,” Mrs. Obama said. “They’re telling us that we should be selfish — that folks who are struggling don’t deserve our help. That we should just take what we can from life and not worry about anyone else.”

Mr. Trump, of course, has proposed a temporary ban on Muslims entering the U.S. and has called for building a wall along the Mexican border.

STFU, Michael. Taking million-dollar vacations on the taxpayer isn’t SELFISH?

Remain strong in your mind, and heart!

TEMPUS FUGIT!

(often translated to ‘time flies’) is better interpreted as ‘time flees.’ Time flees the ‘fugit’ives as we speak! (uh, text?)

Selfish leaders like ones who lavish themselves with public funded vacations 5 or 6 times a year when they are not even elected.

The Wookie begs to differ with you. She thinks those multiple, multimillion dollar vacations are owed by the Crakas to her. After all, Slavery!

said the values of her opponents “are not the values that build strong families.”

Strong families start with a husband and a wife, Michelle. People who heed the words of Billie Holiday - "God bless the child that's got his own." Using a SNAP card at the grocery store while you are checking out Beyoncé's latest disaster on your Obamaphone is not expected or desired behavior in a strong family.

Or like the ones who were so broke they just could barely pay off their Ivy League college loans, then end up after their “public service” moving into one of the biggest mansions in the most expensive zip code in Washington, DC ... far, far, away from any African-American or Hispanic or Native American neighborhoods. In fact, closer to the biggest mosque in the USA and also within walking distance of the biggest gay neighborhood in DC. So very convenient.

Selfish to them means people who do not want to be forced into funding socialism.
