Class Act on Bush's part. He's not running for anything anymore. Shows, again, the man has character.

One lucky graduating class will have GWBush give them their commencement speech. I personally hope that this President is able to bestow that honor on each of the service academies over the next four years.

GO ARMY!! BEAT NAVY!!
