Obama at Arizona State University Commencement

Today is going to be a great day. I am going to get off of work early to see my cousin as well as my god-daughter’s mother graduate from Arizona State University, my Alma Matter. But here some icing on the cake, President Barack Obama is going to speaking during the ceremony. In a kind of odd turn of events, ASU even awarded President Obama with a scholarship in his name called the President Obama Scholars program. It is neat, because apparently, Obama is said to be speaking at Notre Dame as well. Now here is the story as I have heard it:

1 – Obama announces that he will be speaking at ASU and Notre Dame Commencement Ceremonies
2 – Notre Dame offers President Obama an honorary degree
3 – ASU says Obama has not yet proven himself as a worthy president and will not receive a degree
4 – Students and communities are outraged in Arizona
5 – ASU then creates the Obama Scholars program
6 – Notre Dame, known as a Catholic University, has crowds protesting over the President’s visit because of his stance on abortion

Now my facts may not be all encompassing, but like I said that is how I have heard them. Regardless of all that is happening though, I’m excited to see the President of the United States of America speak tomorrow at Arizona State University.

Chicago Bulls and Boston Celtics

Talk about an amazing series. The Bull and Celtics had a crazy triple-overtime game last night which marked the fourth game in this six game series that went into OT. Game seven games are always nuts but I’m not sure if they can top the happenings of last night with Ray Allen hitting key shots and Brad Miller of the Bulls single-handedly tying the game in the final minutes of regulation to erase a five-point deficit. Game seven is on Saturday and begs everyone to turn their attention to the tube. Although these bulls aren’t the ones of old, they definitely know how to put on a show.
