  • Give back what? All they have they just got from their parents. Why is everyone all the sudden entitled to something someone else has?

    I guess the Obama's are anticipating a whole new crop of helpless people, so they are guilting the college kids into helping because they know the government will be of no use.

  • I hope she pointed out to the new grads the huge personal financial opportunities available in the field of "community organizing"

  • Yeah, like the way she gave back to the homeless shelter in Washington DC. She took eight cases of food from the White House pantry. What I would like to know is who paid for that food? Tax payers or the Obamas? I think that "taking" money from the people and giving it to someone else is called Socialism. How about those $100/lb. steaks at the White House? How many Americans got to enjoy them. She should practice what she preaches.

    Don't get me wrong. I am for helping the poor. But it should be a choice; not a demand. Otherwise, it is not done in love but obligation. And, it should be done without the big show that we saw at DC.

  • I wonder what Michelle Obama has ever done as far as "volunteerism" or even charitable donations? I believe I read somewhere about how stingy the Obama's were as far as charity goes. Someone should do a story on her volunteerism, or lack thereof as the case may be.
