Luckily stumbled upon Obama's ASU commencement speech post-L&O on CNN.
Obvs an awesome speech, I'd say the theme was personal responsibility and a charge to not judge your life's success by selfish pursuits, but by your body of work, which can affect others in many positive ways. Anderson Cooper made a good point that he took the [stupid] controversy about the fact that ASU didn't give him an honorary degree and turned it on its head by pointing out that his own work is far from done; that the title of POTUS isn't an excuse to not leave a legacy.
Thanks to Irene for finding the link to the full transcript.
