I figured all of you out there could use a good laugh, so who better than “former” First Lady Michelle Obama to provide the punchline?

Obama was at Temple University in Philadelphia on Wednesday to deliver a short speech to a crowd of 8,000 high school seniors on National College Signing Day.

Obama delivered her punchline after a few minutes of patting herself on the back for some of her accomplishments.

I’m just going to let Obama’s words speak for themselves (For full comments, go back on video timeline):

“If I can be standing here as your forever First Lady,” Obama said to a raucous response from the crowd, “then you can do anything you put your mind to.”

Listen, I have no problem with someone encouraging young people to try and make a better life for themselves, but to do it while constantly giving yourself props takes away from the moment.

I wonder if she’s still “proud of her country” today, or is she only proud because of her own manufactured status?
