Default Obama to speak at ASU commencement
http://www.asuwebdevil.com/node/5208

President Barack Obama will deliver ASU’s commencement speech at this spring’s graduation, University spokeswoman Julie Newberg said Friday.
ASU President Michael Crow said in a statement released Friday that Obama’s progressive leadership is a great example for ASU’s students and surrounding community.
“The president’s emphasis on building the next generation of leaders in science, technology and sustainability, as well as the arts, mirrors ASU’s mission as a New American University,” Crow said.
The University announced a new date and time for the ceremony earlier this week, and Newberg said this was so the president could attend. The ceremony will now take place on Wednesday, May 13, 2009, at 7:00 p.m.

So I suppose Dick Cheney would be given an honorary degree if he spoke at ASU?? The black eye ASU has received with its ridiculous policy and amateurish PR Dept/Prez Crow will be hanging around to haunt the school for quite a while. I didn't notice any apologies for the screw-up from the school, either.

Despite how you may feel about him, the man can definitely give a speech. And I agree with him, I still think it's "much a do about nothing". And I'm glad he's learned to not pick against the Devils in his NCAA bracket again . Give 'Em Hell Devils!!

Yawn.

It would be great if 7 people showed up, hes not a leader and he can READ a good speech.

Hes not even as good as Bush when it comes to shooting from the hip.
