U.S. President Barack Obama delivers the commencement address for the 2013 class of the Ohio State University
President Obama delivers the commencement address for the 2013 class of The Ohio State University. Obama calls on the graduates, who grew up in years blotted by economic tumult, terrorism and war, to commit to citizenship and public service. Quoting President George W. Bush's address to OSU seniors in 2002, Obama says, "American needs more than taxpayers, spectators, and occasional voters. America needs full-time citizens." He challenges the graduates to "participate, and to persevere" and dares then "to do better."
