Wow Powerful!!! Harvard educated First Lady Michelle Obama reminded attendees of a naturalization ceremony Wednesday that the Founding Fathers werent born in America . The ceremony for 50 new U.S. citizens was held at the National Archives in Washington, D.C She said during her speech, referring to the Declaration of Independence, Its amazing that just a few feet from here where Im standing are the signatures of the 56 Founders who put their names on a Declaration that changed the course of history, and like the 50 of you, none of them were born American - they became American. Excuse me? Did she actually mean that those who signed the Declaration of Independence and participated in the drafting of the Constitution were not born in America? Benjamin Franklin was born in Pennsylvania and Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, and James Madison were born in Virginia. John Adams was born in Massachusetts.Only eight of the 56 were not born in America . Surely she knew this. But, then again, maybe not. After all, she is a Harvard graduate. Isnt she? Lifes tough. Its tougher when youre stupid.
