The prestige capital of UM is high. When I got my BS in '07 we had Bill Clinton. Now, getting my Master degrees, we're gonna have Obama. BALLIN'!

Wow. I've never seen someone post something else that's already on the first page (not simultaneously).
He's super excited.
Really though, anyone have an extra ticket to help a brother out?
I have a Fandom Endurance III merit badge
If someone does have an extra ticket...
...please sell it at face value to a Michigan fan. It disgusts me to see Ohio State fans at commencement sitting in the student section.
As a matter of fact I like beer.
Sell it at face value? You
Sell it at face value? You mean give away for free, since nobody pays for graduation tickets.
if this was sarcasm.... then well played sir.
As an aside, what would prevent somebody from donning their old cap and gown and stripping off the year marker on the tassel and attending graduation again. Nothing? Good, I'll show up 30 minutes late and get a seat in the front row.
Due Diligence Fail
Yes, indeed, it was a blend of excitement, being in class, and a nasty cold that resulted in this double-post
I actually checked the page but, somehow, reading "President Obama to give 2010 Commencement Address" did not actually register in my brain
That said, I have no regrets
No
I don't want Obama anywhere near U of M.

Calm down people, it's almost Friday.
How are we ever supposed to get you back into the positive...

To bad U of M is considered a very liberal university. Have a nice night watching Glen Beck in your underwear.

Fair Enough
I can understand your dislike of Bush, and Palin. But really no Repubs allowed?

Political humor
Why did Obama not play on any organized teams other than ACORN??
Because he couldn't produce a valid birth certificate to determine how old he was!
Fail in a number of ways
Not the least of which that it is well known (well, by non idiots) that he played college basketball.

The thread isn't about the President. It's about UM's commencement speaker, who happens to be the President. There's a difference.

Pretty amazing people would have an issue with a sitting President being commencement speaker. Grow up. He's the President.
how much we shellling out?
I'm just curious if hes bringing in more than Clinton did.

Is there any truth to the rumors that commencement will be nationally televised at night and that he'll be wearing a maize robe?
regardless of your politics
this is great for the University and the students to have the sitting POTUS speak at commencement, regardless of your politics.
I was fortunate enough to have GHWB (Bush 41) address my commencement and it is an unforgettable experience.
