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.

Like ones that make millions in speaking fees and cackle weirdly?
And here I thought she was talking about her selfish, stupid, arrogant husband
Is it Trump? Sounds like she’s talking about the Clintons.
The “Clinton Foundation” sounds pretty selfish to me when they’re both alive and raking in the dough...
Or whose ass cheeks have separate area codes?
Which bathroom did she get to use?
She spoke about how poor her family was and how she earned her way, blah, blah.....Pure BS.
Pot, meet kettle.
Coin toss would be appropriate.
Insane. Trump is making a YUGE sacrifice to do this. If he were just about him and his own money why would he do this?
Selfish is her and her mother. We have never paid fully for the upkeep of a first lady’s mother before. Will she be paying us back?? What about all Mooch’s trips and her entourage and her second flight when she travels on her own plane? No other First Lady has taken so much from us.
Did they offer her one of the school lunches?
The Demagogues are all over the country now politicizing their commencement speeches. It is truly a disgusting, loathsome spectacle. What should be a celebration of the graduates and their proud families has been turned into a leftist political campaign.
There is no one, on the face of this earth, who is more selfish than these two.
Bump!
we should just take what we can from life and not worry about anyone else.”
Great, I propose the Michelle Act:
All Pensions and Benefits for Public Employees are hereby VOID. All monies shall be used for Welfare to the World!
Ooops! Forgot about the Clintoons...my bad.
“...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.”
Wow, truth spoken by Moochie.
The values our young people are living at public schools and universities: homosexuality, anti-Christian zealotry, Marxist-socialism, male-bashing, racism, laziness, speech restriction, abortion advocacy.
