There are very few things that President Obummer does or says that I agree with ... this is how he has acquired the descriptive moniker I have hung on him. Sometimes he is so wide of the mark that I think that he was born, not in Kenya, but on some other planet. How he could have been a college instructor on the Constitution for all those years (seven?) and have so little respect for it ... is one of the reasons I am forced to think his space pod must have landed in Hawaii.
However, every once in a while this man-child does screw his twisted brain back into a random act of reason. Such was the case this past weekend when he reprimanded the lefty students and nutty professors at Rutgers University in a commencement speech for their denying this same honor to Condoleezza Rice a while back ... see: Daily Caller Article ... for some additional details and a video.
Of course, Obummer being Obummer, he was obliged before he finished to take some oblique political swipes at Donald Trump. But, in the portion remembering the First Amendment and colleges suppressing objectionable speech, he was so rational and eloquent that he just might not be invited back. (If he would stop using his favorite term "folks" quite so much.)

“If somebody has got a bad or offensive idea, prove it wrong. Engage it. Debate it. Stand up for what you believe in,” he said — to a great deal of applause. “Don’t be scared to take somebody on. Don’t feel like you got to shut your ears off because you’re too fragile and somebody might offend your sensibilities. Go at them if they’re not making any sense. Use your logic and reason and words. And by doing so, you’ll strengthen your own position, and you’ll hone your arguments. And maybe you’ll learn something and realize you don’t know everything. And you may have a new understanding not only about what your opponents believe but maybe what you believe.”
Shucks, George. We really need each other...
If only he did what he said ...
You and I both forget that he is just reading someone else's words ...
