Barack Obama will be speaking at the graduation of West Point's Class of 2010. The speech will be broadcast live on C-SPAN and the other cable networks.

God bless the brave newly minted second lieutenants who volunteered to serve knowing they would be heading off to war.

The Cadets will be polite, they always are.

Obama the community organizer cum Socialist/Marxist is obviously trying to win a few points....it won't help...this fraud is lower than a snakes belly when it comes to being a real American and loving his country....and I suspect these exemplary young men and women know it. Duty, Honor, and Country is their motto, something the Union President knows or cares little about. He is a fraud.

Has he resigned yet? That would really cap the commencement ceremony.

Was just there the other day, did a few push ups and danced in the end zone. The "Firsties" are mostly not thrilled about their CiC, but they really enjoyed Bush's visit before he left.

My LTC friend and Operation Iraqi Freedom vet is there, says they waited over 45 minutes for TOTUS to arrive... LATE!

IMO - He looked distinctly uncomfortable sitting up on the dais with all the military brass around him.

(Brought to mind a who*&@ in church kind of thing.)

As I watch dear leader listening to the rest of the speeches, I find his head position interesting—chin higher than everyone else’s? Why does he do this?

West Point took this clown last year for a speech. My guess is that the West Point Commandant is looking for a promotion. Brown nosing seeems alive and well.

Protesters are going to be present - doesn't sound like many of them, though.

President Obama is unlikely to see or even hear them, but protesters are already arrayed in the village park to mark his commencement speech at the U.S. Military Academy here this morning.

The president is not scheduled to make his address until 10 a.m. but a dozen pro-military supporters and half-a-dozen anti-war advocates had gathered in Memorial Park by 9 a.m. The numbers are expected to grow through the morning.

That was a distinctly lukewarm response to the One.

Golf clap...

Obama cracks a funny and then cracks the fakest smile I’ve ever seen.

He really looks like he is just dialing this in.

I can’t help it. Everytime I see this pretender address members of our military, I feel like throwing up.
