Tis the season where the roses are blooming, time change is approaching, and, of course, high school seniors are on the edge of their seats as their staff is seeking a commencement speaker--well, maybe not the edge...Will it be the town mayor? Or perhaps the successful businessman who was a grad? Or maybe the local jock turned pro who now is the model athlete in the NFL? As we consider who it might be, we now know quite distinctly who it will NOT be-- Pres. Barack Hussein Obama.
It seems the annual Win A Commencement Speech from the President has fallen on deaf ears. While applicants for last year's contest numbered over a 1,000, at the deadline this year, ONLY FOURTEEN schools had submitted a request to be considered. So paltry were those numbers the White House had to extend the deadline. Personally, I attribute it to high school budget issues as reportedly the Teleprompter is a big draw on the utility bill.
Perhaps this video is the only evidence Barry needs to understand why interest has plummeted. Yes, one lad at last year's commencement knows the consequence of overdosing on Hope and Change.
Now, if you want to stimulate applications, here is my suggestion-- threaten the students if their administrator fails to submit an application, White House staff will be sending in Chef Jamie Oliver to revise their cafeteria menu! "Yes, Grandma Hair Net, can you toss some of that arugula onto my tofu taco. And that black bean brownie looks delish. To drink--do you have recycled rain water?"
Sad times from 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue...it looks like we have gone from 2008 Rock Star to 2011 One Hit Wonder...
