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.

*Sigh* If you want to look at the bright side, at least Kagan isn’t giving the speech.

I’d love for all of them to turn their back on Zero.

Do you think obama wants to speak? He can’t even talk to the media.

The White House is releasing excerpts of his speech.

President Barack Obama says national defense isn't the sole responsibility of the U.S. military and that it's time for the rest of the country to pitch in.

The commander in chief says that while those in uniform are the cornerstone of America's national defense, "the rest of us must do our part."

Let's hope he outdoes his "perky" wife's speech this week...

“Perky” Michelle Obama a Big Downer at George Washington University. But that's setting the bar awfully low, even for Mr. Hate America. But I'm confident he can sink to the occasion.

I’ll bet there are no ceremonial swords on the premises. Obama is scared sh!tless of the military.

I am sure that 90% of the Military has NO respect for this Marxist. But the gullible American people elected him and he is now the CIC of all our armed forces. Elections have consequences even if the CIC lied about everything in the run up to his election. I feel for the parents and cadets who will have to sit through this insult to patriotic Americans.

Hmmmm.

President Obama delivers the commencement address to West Point cadets. Back home at the White House, the dust will fly. A four-year renovation begins on the East and West Wings, the biggest project there in 50 years.

The heating, cooling, electrical and fire-alarm systems will be replaced during the four-year, $376 million project in the East and West Wings.

"This is the biggest upgrade since the complete renovation of the executive mansion in the Truman era," Bob Peck of the General Services Administration told Bloomberg News.

Tourists walking along on Pennsylvania Ave. in front of the White House should be forewarned: If you want a snapshot of the North Portico, the lawn is going to be torn up. And those TV journalists who do their stand ups at the edges of the North Lawn? Sorry, you'll have to move.

At least the Obamas won't be disrupted at the crack of dawn: Peck said construction work will occur only from 7:30 a.m. to 6:15 p.m.

My thoughts exactly...

Oh boy, here he comes. Nice of him to put his hand over his heart - wait is he attempting to mouth the words? Or is he just chewing gum?
