Oh come on. Everyone complained about how our commencement speaker wasn’t a big name, but I thought he gave a damn good speech. Sure this one’s cooler, but does anyone really think he’s going to say anything original or insightful? My sister’s commencement speaker at Occidental was Queen Noor. That’s awesome, right? All she did was pitch her new book. All Obama’s going to do is pitch himself.

she. but yeah, her speech was good as i recall. but still. tell me you wouldn't prefer to have obama.

I forget who you’re talking about. I mainly remember John Hope Franklin speaking. But yeah, I’d rather see someone with a little substance, honestly. Let him campaign on his own time.

Also, I didn’t mean to sound so dour about this. I included a fake tag that said [/rain on parade] but I did it in those triangle brackets, so I guess livejournal thought it was a real tag and hid it. In any event, yes I think it’s cool that this is happening.

John Hope Franklin. I remember his speech being good, but he was mad old so it was hard to understand him. I don't expect that to be a problem with Obama.
