President Barack Obama is telling high school graduates in Michigan not to make excuses, and to take responsibility for failures as well as successes.
In excerpts of remarks to be delivered later Monday at Kalamazoo Central High School, Obama says that it's easy to blame others when problems arise. "We see it every day out in Washington, with folks calling each other names and making all sorts of accusations on TV," the president says.
He says the high school kids can and have done better than that.

Obama is telling high school graduates in Michigan not to make excuses, and to take responsibility for failures as well as successes. Thus granting himself sole possession of the dictionary definition of irony.
