“It was really kind of out of the blue, in fact it was totally out of the blue,” said Debora Spar, president of Barnard College and a political scientist by training. “We just received a phone call, unprompted by us on February 29th, asking if President Obama could give our commencement address.”

Don’t worry, the libs at Barnard will be slobbering over themselves to hear their beloved leftist Pres speak.

By the way, the Dow is DOWN 102 points as I post this, as Obama is on his way to tout his pro-sodomy agenda in New York.

Interesting that Barnard is still a ‘wymens’ college. As a Columbia College grad I was happy with the tradition of having both a men’s college and a women’s college with the Columbia University framework.

However, in the interests of Political Correctness and diversity, the men’s college was opened to Co-eds, although its partner across the street still maintains its all-women student body.

I’ve never been able to understand why an all-women college is PC and doesn’t have to bow to the God of Diversity.

Talk about the turd in the punchbowl. He could have least spoken at Annapolis, since the Navy has a long tradition involving his favorite subject these days. Those long sea voyages and all that.

I am looking forward to the day when Obama is thrown into the dustbin of history.

Well, the official Administration of Barnard - and 'oh so esteemed' professors will be thrilled... Group think is big on that campus. But the young people - students - are starting to see - they know the liberal establishment is corrupt...

He may be dusted into history, but we’ll have to look at his presidential library as an immortal shrine.

Didn’t he get his claimed degree in a matter of months versus the normal several(4-5)? years? Whatever I don’t believe he earned a degree anywhere but he bought some that we can’t see. Yet W had to show his transcripts, GPA and even his dental records. A snake would love to be this crooked.

Considering there are more females than males graduating college, you can see the "diversity" argument is a LIE.

They'll likely herd the townspeople away, and tape him in an empty auditorium, like they did his speech from Afghanistan.

Good catch there.

Here it is mid May and apparently NO college or university has invited ozero to come speak to the graduates.

He has to crash someone elses party.

Those long sea voyages and all that.

The Navy I served in was Gay free, or at least you certainly didn’t do anything to reveal yourself or the Master at Arms would have your Gay ass in the brig, period. Women were put on ships the year after I got out, down hill from there. Idiots, are running our military, thank you Pasty Schroeder.
