Michelle, Miley wow concert

Michelle, Miley wow concert

WASHINGTON – Michelle Obama challenged the audience at a teen- and tween-filled ‘Kids’ Inaugural: We Are the Future’ concert to serve their country.

She got a response from the audience on Monday night that surpassed even the appearance of teen star Miley Cyrus.
‘You kids are the future of this great nation,’ Obama said to the crowd largely made up of military families and their charged-up children. ‘We need every American to serve their community, including our young people.’
What can kids do? she wondered aloud: Volunteer in a homeless shelter, visit an elderly person or write letters to US troops.
‘For many of you, they’re you’re moms and dads, right?’ Obama said. ‘Barack, Malia, Sasha and I are so grateful for the service and sacrifice all our military families make to help keep this nation safe.’
Cyrus, who performed for the first time her inspirational song, ‘The Climb,’ returned the compliment to the Obamas’ daughters, well-known fans of Cyrus’ Disney TV alter ego, Hannah Montana.
‘You girls must be awfully proud of your dad – and so am I,’ Cyrus said, inviting her father, Billy Ray Cyrus, to join her for a performance on stage.
Cyrus then went into the audience to quiz children on some history: What was President Ulysses S Grant driving when he got the first-ever presidential speeding ticket? The crowd correctly picked a horse and buggy over a skateboard or Ferrari.
‘You didn’t think we can give you a quiz on a day with no school? We say, ‘Yes, we can’!’ comedian George Lopez joked with the crowd that also included local families who received tickets from the Boys & Girls Club of Greater Washington.
