I very much appreciate the Presidents introduction. I will not be singing today. (Laughter.)
AUDIENCE: Aww -- (laughter.)
THE PRESIDENT: It is true that I did speak at that certain university up north a few years ago. But, to be fair, you did let President Ford speak here once -- and he played football for Michigan! (Laughter.) So everybody can get some redemption.
In my defense, this is my fifth visit to campus in the past year or so. (Applause.) One time, I stopped at Sloppys to grab some lunch. Many of you -- Sloopys -- I know. (Laughter.) Its Sunday and Im coming off a foreign trip. (Laughter.) Anyway, so Im at Sloopys and many of you were still eating breakfast. At 11:30 a.m. (Laughter.) On a Tuesday. (Laughter.) So, to the Class of 2013, I will offer my first piece of advice: Enjoy it while you can. (Laughter.) Soon, you will not get to wake up and have breakfast at 11:30 a.m. on Tuesday. (Laughter.) And once you have children, it gets even earlier. (Laughter.)
But, Class of 2013, your path to this moment has wound you through years of breathtaking change. You were born as freedom forced its way through a wall in Berlin, tore down an Iron Curtain across Europe. You were educated in an era of instant information that put the worlds accumulated knowledge at your fingertips. And you came of age as terror touched our shores; and an historic recession spread across the nation; and a new generation signed up to go to war.
