OBAMA AT ASU

President Obama spoke at ASU, joking that his "body of work " is truly not done, as exemplified by MIchelle's long list at home. This quieting the controversial decision by the school to not give him an honorary degree yet. In case he screws up the country and leaves it worse than when he was first handed the keys to the White House. Humor has become part of the a PR arsenal, as it should, especially during hard times. Any way to lighten the mood is good. He then challenged graduates to embrace the challenge of entering the work force under this awful economic time and "go for it". To choose character over Celebrity. To not use past barometers of material success and wealth, surface measures that led us to this mess. He then added "ask Bernie Madoff." Haha. That was funny too. Although it wasn't intended to be. Notre Dame is next this weekend. I doubt they'll be debating abortion on the stage in South Bend. 65,000 have petitioned against the Presidents visit to Fighting Irish land.
