Obama and Donald Trump

Josh Lederman: In politics and in life, ignorance is not a virtue, Obama said in his commencement speech, according to Toronto Star. By Josh Lederman The Associated Press7:10 PM, Sun., May 15, 2016 PISCATAWAY, N.J.—President Barack Obama on Sunday urged college graduates to shun those who want to confront a rapidly changing world by building walls around the United States or by embracing ignorance, as he delivered a sharp and barely concealed critique of Donald Trump. President Barack Obama was the first sitting president to speak at the school commencement. Obama used his commencement speech at Rutgers University to illustrate a world view antithetical to the ideas espoused by the presumptive Republican presidential nominee. A wall won't stop that, Obama said, bringing to mind Trump call for building a border wall between the U.S. and Mexico. Looking out at a sea of red and black gowns, Obama told the roughly 12,000 graduating students that the pace of change on the planet is accelerating, not subsiding, and that recent history had proved that the toughest challenges cannot be solved in isolation.
