The Obama's HBCU Blitz
Source: The Root Posted: Sunday, May 09, 2010May is a blur of commencements and the Obama Administration is in full gear. One important target this spring is black colleges. Michelle Obama flew to Pine Bluffs, Arkansas, Saturday to deliver the commencement address at University of Arkansas -- Pine Bluff; tomorrow, her husband will address graduates of Hampton University in Virginia. The Administration has pointed out (and we've reported) that everyone from the Prez to Senior Advisor Valerie Jarrett (Morgan State) to UN Ambassador Susan Rice (Spelman) will be giving those ritual send-off speeches at the historically-black schools. It's good politics, obviously, to talk to the base and what's more basic than the chlildren of your most loyal constituents?
