Question

President Obama Delivers the Rutgers University Commencement Address
By Barack Obama

Now, partly, I’m confident because, on average, you’re smarter and better educated than my generation—although we probably had better penmanship and were certainly better spellers. We did not have spell-check back in my day. You’re not only better educated, you’ve been more exposed to the world, more exposed to other cultures. You’re more diverse. You’re more environmentally conscious. You have a healthy skepticism for conventional wisdom.

So you’ve got the tools to lead us. And precisely because I have so much confidence in you, I’m not going to spend the remainder of my time telling you exactly how you’re going to make the world better. You’ll figure it out.
