It was very inappropriate for Doctorow to get up there and rant out a political speech. Granted in America we all have the right to speak our minds. With that being said, just because we have the right doesn't make it right. There is a time & a place for everything. And a graduation is neither the time nor the place for such a speech.

What a sad world we are living in when you can not even go to a graduation without having anti-Bush rhetoric shoved down your throat.

Look, I am not a Bush supporter. I do not like that he sent my soldiers (& I say mine since as an American citizen those soldiers fight for me) to Iraq. But...I quietly will voice my opinion come election day. I do not shout my disgust of my president from a mountain top for all the world to hear. It is disrespectful to all Americans & it is no other countries business how I feel about my leader.

What Doctorow did was highly disrespectful.
