Thank You, Mr. President

This is why it is good to have an intellectual in the White House. While he's not signing a bill or stopping a war, this is certainly a moment of commendable leadership. Language matters, and the President's message to University of Michigan's class of 2010 is a word to the breakdown of appropriate political discourse in this country. One of my academic mentors has always said that the next generation must be taught two things that they are not being taught now: logic and rhetoric.

Thank you, Matt McG.
