I agree with Monster. We can bash him all day long, but I truly believe he's putting himself out there to do the commencement address to this grad class for the right reasons. Greensburg was absolutely flattened by the tornado. So did they all move away and build somewhere else? And leave the town to clean up the mess itself? No - they all banded together like the strong people of Kansas they are. They have built an even better Greensburg than was there. I think it's fitting that the President recognize that by visiting at the most important event held there since the storm. He's simply recognizing a group of people that have picked themselves up and dusted themselves off and made themselves better. I don't think it's an attention grab. He has an office in his jet (I've actually seen the Airforce 1 plans) and his business can go on. The only time he's "wasting" is the hour or so he'll be there.
