June 11, 201214 yr Saw this on Yahoo!'s front page yesterday, good stuff! Hat's off to this guy for telling it how it is.

As some have stated, this is the type of message high school graduates need to hear.

June 11, 201214 yr Romney would do well to hire him as a speech writer. Great listen, the 12 minutes were worth it.
