First Lady Ain't Playing: Michelle Obama Threatens to Leave Fundraiser Over Protestor

A loud protester nearly got the best of Michelle Obama late Tuesday night, as the FLOTUS threatened to leave a Democratic Party fundraiser in Northern Washington amidst shouting from 56-year-old lesbian activist Ellen Sturtz. The protester interrupted Michelle's speech to demand that President Obama sign an anti-discrimination executive order.

Michelle showed her annoyance by meeting Sturtz eye-to-eye, taking a pause, and stating "One of the things I don't do well is this. Do you understand?" Her statement led to applause from most of the guests, according to an official White House transcript.

A pool report from a reporter in the room quoted Michelle as saying "Listen to me, or you can take the mic, but I'm leaving. You all decide. You have one choice." The crowd urged Michelle to stay, and it was reported that a woman sitting next to Sturtz suggested that she leave.

Sturtz recounted the situation, claiming "She came right down in my face. I was taken aback." She added that she obliged to taking the microphone from Michelle, which she said flustered the first lady.

"I said 'I want your husband to sign the executive order.' Her husband could sign this order tonight and protect 22 percent of the work force in this country."

No Filter: Michelle Obama Says Young Black People Just Want To Be Rappers!

Michelle Obama has always kept it one hundred, and she didn't change her ways at all this weekend. 

While delivering the commencement speech to the class of 2013 at Bowie State University, Michelle touched on a number of issues, namely the priorities of young black americans.


"Today, instead of walking miles every day to school, they're sitting on couches for hours, playing video games, watching TV. Instead of dreaming of being a teacher or a lawyer or a business leader, they're fantasizing about being a baller or a rapper," said Obama. "Right now, one in three African American students are dropping out of high school, only one in five African Americans between the ages of 25 and 29 has gotten a college degree."

Say What?: Tupac Shakur's Godmother Joanne Chesimard Is First Woman Placed On FBI's Most Wanted Terrorists List.

Joanne Chesimard has become the first woman added to the FBI's Most Wanted Terrorists List. Chesimard shot and killed state trooper Werner Foerster during a shootout on the New Jersey Turnpike 40-years ago.

She was a member of the Black Liberation Army at the time of the murder.

According to a state police account, "Foerster was severely wounded in his right arm and abdomen and then executed with his own service weapon on the roadside. Chesimard's jammed handgun was found at Foerster's side."

Chesimard was caught and sentenced to life in prison for the crime in 1977. Two years later she escaped from prison and eventually fled to Cuba where she received political asylum. She lives there under the name Assata Shakur. "I was convicted by...I don't even want to call it a trial, it was lynching, by an all-white jury," Chesimard told BET in 2001. "I had nothing but contempt for the system of justice under which I was tried."

Law enforcement sees it differently.

"Joanne Chesimard is a domestic terrorist who murdered a law enforcement officer execution-style," said Aaron Ford, special agent in charge of the FBI's Newark Division.

Say What!?!?!: CIA Secretly Gave Afghanistan's President Millions To "Overthrow The Taliban"

The CIA has been trying to buy its influence over the Aghan government by secretly funneling tens of millions of dollars to President Hamid Karzai several times over the last decade. According to the New York Times, the cash payments have been delivered to the president since the start of the war in Afghanistan.

While it was reported that the agency has shown Karzai financial support, new information reveals that the payments were bigger, and made more often, than previously known. “We called it ‘ghost money,' ” said Khalil Roman, a former staff member of the president. Roman worked with Karzia from 2002-2005. “It came in secret, and it left in secret.”

The wads of cash --all kept off the books-- were transported in suitcases, backpacks, and even plastic bags. But making the payments may not have given the CIA the influence over Karzai's inner circle it desired. “The biggest source of corruption in Afghanistan was the United States,” noted one American official.“We paid them to overthrow the Taliban.”

The U.S. wasn't alone in its payoff scheme. Iran has paid as much as $6 million a month to one of the Karzai's top aids starting in 2003, but has since suspended the payments. Ironically, the U.S. previously slammed Iran for trying to buy the loyalty of the Afghan government, while keeping the CIA bribery plot under wraps.

Regardless of their attempts, Karzai's allegiance wasn't up for sale. Sources told the Times that the funds “fueled corruption and empowered warlords, undermining Washington's exit strategy from Afghanistan.”

Karzai confirmed the payout earlier today, but claimed that it wasn't allocated for personal use. “It was used for different purposes: operational, assistance to injured people, rental costs and other goals. This was efficient assistance and we appreciate it,” he said in a statement.
