Y'all know damn well why they're reacting this way. The parents know good and well that the three seconds their child's name is called is gonna be all the shine they get whether the First Lady of the United States is there or not. They see Michelle as a threat. She is a black woman married to the most powerful and influential man in the world. Meanwhile, Kansas is a very red state filled with conservatives who hate on her.

The me me me generation they want the spotlight to be only on them. I would loved for Laura Bush to be at my graduation even though I'm a democrat. They will have something to tell they're kids and grand kids.
I would have loved for any respectable politician to speak at my graduation. Barack, Michele, Hillary, Bill Clinton, John McCain, Nancy Reagan. I mean, they clearly have experience and have led interesting lives.
