President Obama Speaks at Barnard College Commencement Ceremony




**********************
The man has major chops. What a speech! He makes fun of himself too.

(Mittens @ Liberty University told a chicken sandwich story and his speech went down hill from there.
the comments on DU about his speech were awesome most had to do w/ the time in Mitt's speech
when a brother or sister Duer had to bail out)

he modulates his voice
he goes out of his way to give credit to others
he gears his talk to the audience
he makes fun of himself
he is very good at explaining "the details" of his topic.


btw @ one point Obama got another "I love you" from somebody in the
crowd I have yet to hear anybody jump up and I love you to Mitt.

I tried to listen to Mitt @ Liberty University but after 4 minutes I had to turn him off.

I went to a "progressive" women's college and we had a female priest.
