Barack Obama is speaking at my alma mater’s commencement today. The ceremony already started, but right now there’s taiko (Japanese drumming). I’m not sure exactly when he’s scheduled to speak, but I’m sure it’ll be soon.

Just thought I’d share in case anyone was curious.
Looks like he’s about to start shortly.
FYI, Senator Kennedy was originally scheduled to be the commencement speaker, but when he was unable to make it due to his illness, Sen Obama offered to speak in his place (which seems quite generous, considering how busy he must be). Sen Kennedy’s stepdaughter is in this graduating class and this is his son’s 25th reunion year.
Did Obama already speak?
This class president speech is pretty brutal… no offence to Rashida, she looks nervous.
No, he’s speaking now.
The class president seemed to enjoy herself, even if she was nervous.
