This to me was the most moving part of The President's speech.
This was directed to the graduating class and the cheers from the crowd brought me to tears.


From UND Office of News and Information

"The impact that the protests have had on the graduates was acknowledged by Obama, who remarked “how inspired I am by the maturity and responsibility with which this class has approached the debate surrounding today’s ceremony.” That moment briefly stopped the ceremony as parents, guests and members of the Commencement platform rose to give graduating students a standing ovation."

1. The entire speech was excellent.
Couldn't have been better.

That's why they won't be discussing it much on the Republican news Channels (that's all of them)!

2. ... and so far they aren't, but that's usually the case in the morning.
It'll get covered tonight... Hardball, etc.
