I guess that’s why they’ve been hiding his transcripts.
(Politico) — First lady Michelle Obama said Thursday that she and President Obama are driven every day by the memory of their own family struggles and their desire to give back to the country.
“We’re here because our families worked hard to make sure that we had the opportunities that everyone should have. Barack and I are both motivated by a desire to pay those blessings forward,” Obama said on a conference call to campaign supporters in Ohio. “Your president lives by the principle that to whom much is given, much is expected.”
“That has been the direction of his choices through out his life,” Obama said. “How can he use his blessings and his gifts to help as many people as possible.”
“We are blessed to have someone not just of his intellectual caliber but with such a strong grounding of values that all of us identify with — these basic American values that have made our country great and will continue to make us the strongest country in the world,” the first lady said.
Obama’s remarks came at the end of a conference call designed to motivate and engage Ohio activists, as the president and his team hone in on issues of economic fairness and the revitalization of the American manufacturing sector.

NOTE:
How many remember the first day Mooch-ie was "proud to be an American"? Personally, I find it difficult to trust this "first" lady, when she spends $50,000 out of her slush fund to purchase lingerie! How's that "giving back to the country" Michele? Between your half a million dollar numerous vacations; golfing excursions to Hawaii; shopping trips from here to Spain; NYC dinner dates; parties and trips to McDonald's for more of those french fries (while telling our children to eat peas and carrots) ... just doesn't make me believe you and your husband when you speak of "principles".
Where's the cake?! I need a piece of cake! You see, dear Moochie, that is the only message you send to the American people - "Let them eat cake"! America will be blessed the day you two are out of the White House.
You're missing the point, Michele!
