Working on a blog which I am slowly but surely dedicating to my personal education and growth as a responsible and compassionate American and world citizen, I can't help but be inspired by Barack Obama's address to the graduating class of Arizona State University. Love him or hate him, you can't help but think about what he has to say: "[O]ne's title -- even a title like president -- says very little about how well one's life has been led. That no matter how much you've done, or how successful you've been, there's always more to do, more to learn, more to achieve."
Politics aside, he makes me want to be a better person. How can that possibly be a bad thing? Now please excuse me. I have some studying to do!

He's a very intelligent and insightful man I believe.
Heather ~ Me, too. When all the "controversy" about whether or not he should receive an honorary degree from the college was going on, I told Peter, "The funny thing is Obama probably couldn't care less."

I so agree with Obama and you on this! What a thoughtful post.
Teddy Rose ~ I try to stay away from politics here, but since this was education related, I just had to include it. It made me feel so good I was hoping I could pass the good vibes on! :-)

I like his speeches and how he does focus on the importance of an education.

Naida ~ I agree. I also like that he often stresses personal responsibility. That's a big one for me.

This comment was insightful.
Would it be too terrible to say that he looks hot even in that middle ages garb?
Bybee ~ Not terrible at all! I thought the same thing. :-) Did you see his address to Notre Dame yesterday? Awesome, as usual!!
