I strongly encourage readers to do some research on the Obama's and their *organization*
you can START at https://www.breitbart.com/
Then do on line searching for - Organizing for Action (OFA) - a so-called community organizing project
Barack's background was as a *community organizer* which fits right in with the rioting protestors of this week. And the Obama's bought a house just a few blocks from the White House - Do they call their place THE BLACK HOUSE?
Lots and lots of articles on line about this OFA and none of it bodes well for America.
Watch the RINO's lining up to opposed Pres. Trump - Fancy underwear Romney - Colin Powell and others. Their true nature (SOCIALISM) is finally out in the open.
Lots of great items on http://conpats.blogspot.com - check it out.

Michelle Obama pushing class of 2020 to put together protesting with mobilizing, voting
From THEHILL.COM
Former first lady Michelle Obama called on 2020 graduates to couple their protests with organizing, mobilizing and voting in a commencement address on Sunday as widespread demonstrations against police brutality and racism continue following the death of George Floyd.
“You deserve this celebration. Congratulations,” she said during the start of the address, which was streamed on YouTube. “This is an important time of transition. In light of the current state of our country, I struggle to find the right words of wisdom for you today.”

Over the past few months, Obama said the country’s “foundation has been shaken.”
“Not just by a pandemic that stole too many of our loved ones, upended our daily lives and sent tens of millions into unemployment but also by the rumbling of the age-old fault lines that our country was built on, the lines of race and power that are now once again so nakedly exposed for all of us to grapple with,” she said.
Her comments come roughly two weeks after the death of Floyd, an unarmed black man who died in Minneapolis on May 25 after a white police officer, Derek Chauvin, was seen kneeling on his neck during an arrest. In viral footage of the moment, Floyd could be heard telling the officer, “I can’t breathe” as Chauvin continued to kneel on his neck.
Footage of the arrest has sparked widespread protests across the nation and around the world in the weeks since. It also led to Chauvin’s arrest charges of second-degree murder after a Hennepin County medical examiner ruled Floyd’s death to be a homicide.
Obama remarked on the ongoing protests in her address to graduates on Sunday while also urging them to “speak out against cruelty, dishonesty, bigotry, all of it.”
“It's up to you to march hand in hand with your allies, to stand peacefully with dignity and purpose on the front lines in the f... (Read more)
