President Bush Texas A&M Commencement Speech 3/3

"As you embark on this journey, let me leave you with a few last pieces of advice... develop a set of principles to live by -- convictions and ideals to guide your course. There will be times when people tell you a different way is more accepted or popular. Remember that popularity is as fleeting as the Texas wind. Character and conscience are as sturdy as the oaks on this campus. If you go home at night, look in the mirror and be satisfied that you have done what is right, you will pass the only test that matters." (Applause.)

61% of Historians rate the Bush Presidency as among the worst ever in American history. Some may cling to the hope that history might take a kinder view. Still, Mr. Bush doling out "advice" at a commencement address seems... sadly funny.
