Why would youngsters not want to support a young President, instead of old farts like Gingrich and Romney.

(Besides the policy issues).

When Republicans give a speech, it's pretty much white folks.

They came back with pictures all star struck! They got to shake his hand and one even had a moment to say a few words - "congratulations on the speech Mr. President!"

I looked for them in the pictures but didn't see them in these shots. Thanks!

I believe he noted that he has been to UM twice, but not yet to MSU, and pledged to rectify that.

Go Green, Mr. President!

Great pics and congrats to the UM students for his warm welcome.
