| Bush Gives Greensburg Commencement Address |
| 2008-05-04 |
| President Bush will give his speech May 4th. The event has been in the works for more than a month. Planners are expecting about 800 people to watch the 18 students graduate. The commencement was moved from May 10th to May 4th because President BushÂ’s daughter Jenna is getting married that day. Coincidentally, May 4th is the one year anniversary of the tornado that demolished the town. Put it in local because it is for me. If you are like me and kept having the speech interrupted by hollywood a*holes at a Lakers game, the video of the speech (unfortunately not the rest of the ceremony where President Bush had some great impromptu moments) is available at the link but you have to click "watch the video" then select the "President hails remarkable recovery". The joke about needing to dust and other anicdotes is -typical- SW KS humor and character. |

| #1 It sounds like the Patiot Guard was there in support so it is likely there were no 'sad sacks' to ruin the occasion, not visibly at any rate. They also opened an art center donated by KU school of architecture (hospital is still basically a mash unit, but an art center is good in other ways) and breaking ground for a Southern Baptist Church. |
