Obama Addresses HBCU 2020 Grads in Commencement Speech
-- President Obama just addressed 2020's graduating class at large, and he seemed more willing to take direct shots at President Trump than he did with his HBCU speech ... without name-dropping, of course.
Barack's speech was mainly focused on the pandemic and how this group of students would have to rise to the challenge ahead of them and deal with the problem at hand -- unlike some adults who are running the show now, and not asking the right questions ... per BO. It seems clear -- the guy's talking about DT and his administration/task force.
There was one other pretty damning slam against 45, when Barack recommended the grads do what they think is right, and not do what they think is easy or convenient. He said that's how a child thinks -- and in some cases, how certain people in power think too. One last thing that caught our eye ... Barack made a pretty big pop culture reference, saying the class of 2020 probably never thought they'd be spending their senior year summer hanging out at home with their parents watching 'Tiger King' instead of being out.
