Liberty University officials announced today that former Florida governor and potential presidential candidate Jeb Bush will speak at the school’s 42nd Commencement Saturday, May 9.
Jeb Bush, 62, was elected as Florida’s 43rd governor in 1998, serving two terms from 1999-2007. He is the first two-term Republican to hold the position of governor in Florida.
“Liberty University is honored to welcome Gov. Jeb Bush to campus for our 42nd commencement exercises,” President Jerry Falwell said. “Throughout his years of public service, Gov. Bush has been a champion for excellence in education and so many other issues of vital importance to our university community.”

“Liberty Univ” - oh, the irony...
He should get heckled concerning common core there.
Jeb is just so “me too”.
What a tool.
What stupid thing is he going to say today?
Following Ted Cruz, as usual.
I was born and raised in Lynchburg, and I live ten miles outside the city. I’ve often said good things about Liberty students...they’re great kids.
But when it comes to the Falwells, I do believe they’re addicted to getting the big names for their events. I began to form this opinion when they had Glenn Beck speak at commencement, and when Romney was the 2012 guest, even AFTER he told Fox News that two people of the same sex “who love each other” should be able to adopt children.
We were thinking of attending Thomas Road church back then, but that made us decide against it.
Jeb’s attendance just serves to confirm my view that the Falwells possibly have stars in their eyes, and should re-think their priorities.
Following Ted Cruz, as usual.
Jeb is definitely not a lead dog.

Jeb Bush: I hope someday soon to see a sea of Mexican faces graduating here instead of the ones I see now.
