Commencement entertainment has come to a close. As if a live concert from Alice Cooper was not awesome enough, we now get the pleasure of listening to The Rolling Stones and The Who through the speakers while we wait. 

I just got word from White House staff said that they are sending out copies of President Obama’s speech to the media in a few minutes. Everyone is scattering about the press box trying to make sure they are prepped and ready to start writing. The photographers are taking their places as well. Secret service is on the field and lining the stage.

The president is currently making his way from the airport to the stadium. Thankfully he has a motorcade to get him here otherwise we would be waiting all night with the traffic in Tempe.  All of the major TV anchors are doing their updates and countdowns to the big moment. It's cool to see everyone gathered together, and watch real journalists in action.
