Okay, I mostly posted this because I need to rant about the fact that Bill Moyers, who was asked to be the back-up speaker for this commencement because Rutgers had been trying to book Obama for 3 years (it's the school's 250th anniversary) felt that they needed a backup in case of emergency… and when it became clear that the President was going to give this speech, Moyers still not only made them give him a doctorate and tongue-bath intro video, he required the $35,000 speaking fee from this public university. What an asshole.

All those years w/LBJ probably enflamed his ego a bit.
