The commencement speaker chosen to address this year’s seniors at BC is Secretary of Transportation Ray LaHood. LaHood was a seven-term Republican congressman from Illinois before Obama appointed him to his current post.
I look forward to what LaHood will have to say. Maybe he will advocate building a high-speed rail in between Boston and Springfield; the other rail proposals were so well-received. Or he will tell Toyota drivers not to drive their cars home from graduation. Or he will tout his successful efforts to prevent air traffic controllers from falling asleep on the job…oh, wait.
I have no doubt that LaHood’s words and ideas will captivate the audience as his record of clairvoyance is unmatched.
