It's getting to be that time of year.
And presidents have follwed a certain tradition at this time of year: Sending off the graduates of one public school, one private school and one service academy.
President Barack Obama will follow suit, the White House announced today, with the president planning to deliver the Spring 2009 Commencement Addresses at:
-- Arizona State University on Wednesday, May 13.
-- The University of Notre Dame on Sunday, May 17.
-- The United States Naval Academy on Friday, May 22.
We think we know a certain Arizona senator and Naval Academy graduate who would have liked to deliver a couple of these speeches.
Details, as they say, to follow.
