"Remember that you are blessed. Remember that in exchange for those blessings, you must give something back. You must reach back and pull someone up. You must bend down and let someone else stand on your shoulders so that they can see a brighter future." --Michelle Obama at the University of California, Merced commencement
Dear California Grads,
Do not mistake the statement above as being a request from The First Hottie. That is not the correct context. Note that the word "must" is used three times. Her husband knows that if left to your own devices, you would never display the charitable heart that is called for here. So this should be viewed more as an advisory, since it is the U.S. government that will simplify things and just take what it is that they think you should "give back".
Since the vast majority of you young, impressionable kids were swept up in the rapture of Obama last fall, this shouldn't be a surprise or an issue. Just for clarification.
Now get out there and make something of yourselves so that you can start feeding that "Hope and Change" thing.
Thank you.
