Obama to new grads: "No time for excuses"
Atlanta (CNN) - Past, present and future came together on a thunderstorm-filled Sunday, as President Barack Obama received an honorary doctorate and gave the commencement speech at historically black Morehouse College, where the Rev. Martin Luther King and many other prominent African-Americans spent their formative years.
After opening with several one-liners, and more smiles than we've seen from him in the damage-control-filled recent weeks, Obama delivered a serious message to the class of 2013.

Obama talking to others about no excuses. Now that is just too funny to imagine. The empty chair failure Obama who never knows anything that happens in his own administration of total corruption telling other no time for excuses. Wow! The hypocrisy of that is just staggering.
Obama to new grads: "No time for excuses"
=========
so says the president of ten thousand excuses. nothing is ever his fault, doesn't have clue about what is going on in his administration, and then lectures many in his army of useful idiots about no excuses. both hilarious and pathetic.
What a joke all Obama does is make excuses!
...and just remember, if you can't get the result you promised... blame Bush!
Today's grads are much more smarter than previous ones.
What a pathetic excuse for a president.
Such a great line, from someone who does NOTHING BUT, make excuses!
NO TIME FOR EXCUSES, ok then no more blaming BUSH!!!!
PRESIDENT, ' DO AS I SAY , NOT AS I DO' Mr. Obama is chock full of excuses, he didn't know and I learn it from others. LOL
What a phenomenal honor for these graduates to hear their President deliver their Commencement speech.
