Michelle Obama Cracks a Joke About Exploding Solar Cars During Graduation Speech (Video)

She must have run out of good Solyndra jokes.
Michelle Obama cracked a joke about exploding solar cars at the Oregon State University graduation this week.
CNS News reported:
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.
The first lady was the commencement speaker Sunday at OSU in Corvallis, Ore., where her brother, Craig Robinson, is the men’s basketball coach.
“In those darkest moments, you will have a choice,” the first lady said. “Do you dwell on everything you’ve lost? Or do you focus on what you still have, and find a way to move forward with passion, with determination, and with joy?”
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.
“And then there’s another member of the class of 2012, Nicolas Sitts, who’s earning his degree in Chemical Engineering,” Michelle Obama said. “I understand that as a member of OSU’s Solar Vehicle Team, Nicolas spent two years painstakingly building a solar car.
“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.

Pretty words for someone who is now proud of this country. Trust me when people are in trouble the do think of MO, and her frantic spending vacationing.
And this memorable comment.
Michelle Obama: ‘This President Has Brought Us Out of the Dark and Into the Light’

Sorry MO, when there is darkness I look to God and believe you me, Obama is not God.
And then there is this:
What Mrs. Obama Seems Most Interested in Growing Isn’t Her Garden, But Government
The truly distressing truth is that the First Lady and members of the Obama administration don’t really want parents to have the primary responsibility for feeding their children. They think the government can do it better. In fact, if you look at the Let’s Move website, it states that mayors and local officials should:

The Obamas discourage work in the private sector. “Don’t go into corporate America,” Michelle has exhorted youth. “Work for the community. Be social workers.” Shun the “money culture,” Barack added. “Individual salvation depends on collective salvation.”
“If you commit to serving your community,” he pledged in his Denver acceptance speech, “we will make sure you can afford a college education.” So, go through government to go to college, and then go back into government.

Keep the jokes, who you are isn’t what we are.

Correction: Pretty words for someone who is now proud of this country. Trust me when people are in trouble they DON’T look to MO for the answers, we look to our God and she can’t be the mentor to the future generation, they couldn’t keep up with her spending habits. Even advisers told Obama to talk to her.
obama is a fraud commented:
She is spends money like its water–she thinks she is a QUEEN with her KING..can’t wait until they are GONE…worst 4 years. Thrity personal aides that follow her around to fix her wigs and dress her with 3,000 shoes. She is a HUGE RACIST.

Michelle Obama’s Patient-Dumping Scheme
The
First Lady helped create a notorious program that dumped poor patients
on community hospitals, yet the national media ignore the story. Imagine
if her husband were a Republican.
The University of Chicago
Medical Center has received a good deal of justly opprobrious press over
its policy of “redirecting” low-income patients to community hospitals
while reserving its own beds for well-heeled patients requiring highly
profitable procedures. Substantial coverage was given to a recent
indictment of the program by the American College of Emergency
Physicians. ACEP’s president, Dr. Nick Jouriles, released a statement
suggesting that the initiative comes “dangerously close to ‘patient
dumping,’ a practice made illegal by the Emergency Medical Labor and
Treatment Act, and reflected an effort to ‘cherry pick’ wealthy patients
over poor.” {….}

this reads like a Horror Story.
Patty commented:
We want Obama to dictate our Health care. The above post would say CERTAINLY NOT!
J. Knight commented:
Isn’t this the school that fired the climate change skeptic last week? The other major Oregon university issued a press release a couple of months ago calling for climate change skeptics to be identified and treated. Someone ought to treat these douchebags to some tar and feathers.

We are the jet set, we are just the underlings. Hot off the presses, bye MO, after November she is on her own.

One thing you have to admire about those commie pricks, they just never give up – not like the conservative couch potatoes who think one Republican RINO elected makes the world all rosie and bright!
It sounds like she’s prepping the kids to be ready for when El Presidente Obama become leader for life and takes everything they have worked for. Enjoy your dreams suckers!, is what’s she basically saying. I wonder if she has Castro for her speech writer?
Practical Jane commented:
Remember when GM said: “We didn’t build the car we wanted to build, we built the car we had to build.”
Go forth into the world and build the machines we mandate. Should you lose a body part, or parts, or even your life persuing our Utopian Fantasy, always keep your eye on the prize – that is provided you still have an eye.
Good grief.

OT- but related…
Can we find a way to put video of the Grifters up without an autostart?
I hear way too much of them already, and don’t want to search which site I just opened up is forcing me to hear either of them….
It’s not like you’re FoxNews and Shep is forcing you to play a soundbite at the top of every hour…

OT –
Earlier today I heard Monica Crowley talking to Bill O’Reilly about her new book. He was most intrigued by what he learned about BO – the commie influences on him growing up.
It was all news to him. I was certain he’d heard these things, but chose to disregard or reject them.
Did he never hear anything Beck and Hannity were saying? Highly likely since Mr. Interruptus decidedly prefers the sound of his own voice and thoughts over all others.
O’Reilly might justifiably take the award for The Most Out-Of-It-Supposedly-In-The-Know American. But imagine how many others might be just as clueless…

Next time I want to be miserable I will call Michelle — she can bring two walls together.
sandy commented:
Don’t dwell on the lost of The American Dream — be happy with what you have left — that Govt stipend instead of your job. In short live in misery while Michelle takes the vacations you can’t afford. Is this a campaign for President or is this a diagnosis of Terminal Cancer?
