HA! HA! HA! LMAO!!! Schools! The last place you’d expect to see the middle finger thrown up at “hope and change” but it’s happened! And King Barack is none to happy. You know that national contest to have the president speak at a commencement ceremony? Yeah, it’s a nationwide deal. Every high school in the country was invited to participate. Wanna take a wild guess as to how many actually did? 68. Yeah, that’s right. 68! HA! HA! HA! LMAO!!!
Like all tyrants, he wants to be loved by his subjects. So much so, that he’s even leaned on Democrat politicians to apply the pressure to schools to get them to participate! How desperate is that? Newsflash big fella. The people have wised up and don’t like you so much anymore. Obama has even extended the deadline! HA! HA! HA! LMAO!!!
The White House is ramping up an effort to promote a nationwide competition to decide which high school wins a commencement speech by President Obama.
An internal White House memo indicates that the White House is facing a shortage of applications less than a week before the deadline.
The competition was extended from the February 25 deadline until Friday, March 11 after few schools met the original application deadline. CBS News has learned a White House Communications Office internal memo dated February 22 noted “a major issue with the Commencement Challenge.”
“As of yesterday we had received 14 applications and the deadline is Friday,” the memo said. The memo also urged recipients to, “please keep the application number close hold.”

A follow-up memo on February 28 reported receipt of 68 applications. Noting the competition among more than 1,000 schools last year, the memo said, “Something isn’t working.” It called on staffers to ask “friendly congressional, gubernatorial and mayoral offices” to encourage schools to apply.
“We should also make sure the Cabinet is pushing the competition out to their lists,” the memo said. The note reiterated, “We do not want the actual application number out there (we didn’t release the number of applications we received last year until after the submission period)-so folks should not use it in their pitches.”
HA! HA! HA! LMAO!!! Freakin’ loser! HA! HA! HA! LMAO!!!
