Calls for Obama to deliver a national commencement address
One of the heartbreaking things to come out of the coronavirus pandemic is the fact that it’s looking like festivities and events for high school and college seniors will be cancelled. My niece is one of them. My cousin’s daughter is another. And another one of my cousins too. I’m sad for them, and I’m sad for those of us who want to be the too-loud family at commencement ceremonies.
Well, one senior has a great idea. Have Barack Obama deliver a national commencement speech to all 2020 graduates!
Hi @BarackObama! Like most high school/college seniors, I’m saddened by the loss of milestone events, prom & graduation. In an unprecedented time, it would give us great comfort to hear your voice. We ask you to consider giving a national commencement speech to the class of 2020.

Personally, I absolutely love this and would definitely be watching! I’ll throw in, when we all graduate from quarantine, would love another speech then too.
