A much deserved holiday

After all the.... hulabaloo of the last two graduation commencement speeches that BO has made, his most recent address at the Annapolis Naval Academy was a nice contrast. No protestors, no fuss about honorary degrees... just an inspirational speech and excited grads.

John McCain's son happened to be one of the graduating cadets. McCain and his wife were in the crowd as well. Not only were there no protests or booing or hecklers - the place erupted when Jack McCain (John S. McCain IV) walked across the stage to receive his diploma. Obama gave Jack a big smile and a few words along with a clap on the shoulder while the place went nuts for the Jack and John both. Its a great clip, I'm sure its on the net somewheres.
