   I guess Barry didn’t use that speech as an occasion to showcase his line about knowing whose @ss to kick, because the abrupt roar of laughter would have given the sleeping kid a fatal heart attack.

   Seriously? That guy looks like he’s been inserted via green screen. There’s something about his positioning and that the girl next to him never looks at him. The whole thing looks a little off.
   Having said all of that, I found Obama’s speech as boring as that kid.

    Every high school graduation and college commencement that I have seen, all the students are seated in front of the speaker.

    Here, someone decided to follow the Obama campaign format of having the students [doctors, Soldiers, citizens] standing behind the President as a backdrop.

    Too bad no one checked to see which students had had a full nights sleep.

    So he lectures these young folks about being responsible but he wants to use experts to make sure he knows exactly who to blame and kick their ass?

    So its okay to blame others if an expert tells you who its safe to blame?

    Does he really think this ass kicking rhetoric is Presidential and will have a positive impact on people’s view of him?

    How about kicking Iran’s ass?

    I’m surprised that the advance people didn’t give these kids an extra dose of Vivarin before the speech. Oh, wait! I’m sure they did. It’s just that any Obrainless speech has a somnambulistic effect on all listeners.

    President Barack Obama says he considers veteran White House correspondent Helen Thomas’ remarks about Israel “offensive.” He said it was a “shame” that her career has ended in controversy, but called Thomas’ retirement announcement “the right decision.”

    I find most everything barry has to say to be offensive so can we please get him to resign/retire and immediately??

    What a joke. Obama goes on about taking responsibility. Even his supporters aren’t buying that load of crap. He hasn’t taken responsibility for anything. Never has. Never will. It’s always someone else’s fault. But mostly Bush.

    Maybe Obama blame Bush for his abysmal grades in college? How’d this guy ever get a diploma?

    Okay, for once I have to take pity on Obama and note that the overwhelming majority of HS, college and university graduation speeches made by guest speakers are boring enough to put people to sleep. At my wife’s graduation back in the 80′s the university decided to invite a U.S. Congresscritter who droned on and on and on for an hour and 15 minutes putting a lot of people to sleep. I lucked out at my graduation. The newly hired university President was the commencement speaker. His speech? 20 minutes. He definitely was a proponent of brevity.
