3. 👍🇺🇸

4. Sorry, it sounded like he made a speech for the high school crowd. And not even the

higher level students.
Just too namby pamby.
Hope the one for the college students will be better.

7. when something uplifting takes place

there are always downers in threads.

[dhol82]

10. Did not think it was that uplifting.

Sorry.
Was expecting better.

19. Just hearing

His voice is uplifting.

9. President Obama already gave a college commencement speech today.

And, like his high school commencement address, it was also heartfelt and inspiring.

11. Thought I heard there was one scheduled for June 6.

I could be wrong.

[CottonBear]

17. There's another online event planned for June. I don't know who is speaking.

President Obama gave an address to HBCU graduates today.

15. The intended audience for the entire program was the class of 2020.

Nobody does hope and change better than Obama but he had to throw in a healthy dose of reality or he would have been criticized for being too positive. I taught high school seniors for 36 yrs and I thought he did a good job of aiming his message at that age group.

16. It was short and sweet ....

realistic and just the opposite of namby pamby. It was inspiring to hear realism instead of gushing flowery words. Very enjoyable.

5. Let me add a big shout out for LeBron James

He walks the talk.

[madamesilverspurs]

6. Right there with you!

At the very least, he's an extraordinarily decent human being.

It's good to be reminded that such decency is possible.

8. Very, very nice. The whole thing. I'm so glad they did this.

[dhol82]

12. Sorry, seemed too contrived.

Just my opinion.

[Squinch]

14. Yes, you have already given your opinion. Are you going to make sure each of us

who liked it gets a personal response from you? So no one misses the fact that you didn't like it?

[SharonClark]

13. I truly enjoyed it and President Obama

was the icing on the cake.

[onecaliberal]

18. I loved it and my high school senior did too!

I cried.

20. I loved every minute of it.
