Bush to twister-devastated town: Celebrate your triumph
Source: CNN

GREENSBURG, Kansas (CNN) -- President Bush addressed a high school graduation Sunday in Greensburg, Kansas, a year after a tornado took 11 lives and destroyed 90 percent of the small Midwestern town.

"It's fitting that we hold commencement on this day -- it marks the day of a tornado that forever changed your lives," Bush told the 18 graduating seniors in his first high school commencement speech.

"We celebrate your yearlong journey from tragedy to triumph," he said in the ceremony at Greensburg High School's temporary gymnasium.

Bush applauded the group for juggling schoolwork and sports while helping their community bounce back. The students, who once attended class at a red-brick school, spent the last year learning in mobile classrooms supplied by the Federal Emergency Management Agency. Their families still live in trailers.

President Bush hands a high school diploma to Kasha Marie Charlton on Sunday.

NOTE: Read the entire article. Junior pulls out his standard "Sometimes life deals you a hand you did not expect" crap.

14. Saw this on television
and immediately wondered what horrible thing had those kids done to deserve this?! Here they are getting their high school diplomas, and their commencement is taken over by this barely literate, utterly inarticulate narcissist. At least they live in a time when his visage can be photoshopped out of their pictures.
