Obama to high school grads: 'Don't make excuses'

President Barack Obama is telling high school graduates in Michigan not to make excuses, and to take responsibility for failures as well as successes.

In excerpts of remarks to be delivered Monday evening at Kalamazoo Central High School, Obama said that it's easy to blame others when problems arise. "We see it every day out in Washington, with folks calling each other names and making all sorts of accusations on TV," the president said.

He said the high school kids can and have done better than that.

The 1,700-student high school in southwest Michigan landed Obama as its commencement speaker after winning the national Race to the Top High School Commencement Challenge. It was among three finalists picked through public voting on the schools' videos and essays, and the White House made the final selection.

The administration cited Kalamazoo Central's 80 percent-plus graduation rate, improvements in academic performance and a culturally rich curriculum.

well he could have written a better speech but he's been too bust fixing Bush's mistakes :D

His fireside chats are getting better all the time.

"I was down there a month ago, before most of these talking heads were even paying attention to the Gulf. "A month ago I was meeting with fishermen down there, standing in the rain talking about what a potential crisis this could be. "And I don't sit around just talking to experts because this is a college seminar, we talk to these folks because they potentially have the best answers, so I know whose ass to kick."
