BU students said they were not expecting President Obama, but many expected someone at Cabinet level, at least.
Past speakers at BU commencements include former secretary of state Henry Kissinger, novelist Tom Wolfe, journalist George Will, and Afghan president Hamid Karzai. Two years ago, scientist and 1997 Nobel laureate Steven Chu spoke, to the disappointment of some graduates who expected to hear from Al Gore. Obama recently appointed Chu secretary of energy.

Katie Koch, a senior journalism and political science major studying in Washington, D.C., this semester, received word via text message from her friends in Boston.

Oh, the KID was doing YOUR JOB, 'eh, Globe?

"He's a poor choice because the money ties he has to the university are through taxpayer dollars, and it makes the university look tacky" by inviting him to speak, said Koch, who created a Facebook group called "Your Money is Not as Important to BU as Mike Capuano's."
But others said the BU students should find a real problem to complain about....
Oh, like the 9/11 LIE and the UNENDING OCCUPATIONS and WARS?
Colin Riley, a BU spokesman: "He is a distinguished and accomplished public servant. We are very pleased and proud he accepted our invitation."
