The White House is ramping up an effort to promote a nationwide competition to decide which high school wins a commencement speech by President Obama.
An internal White House memo indicates that the White House is facing a shortage of applications less than a week before the deadline.

"As of yesterday we had received 14 applications and the deadline is Friday," the memo said. The memo also urged recipients to, "please keep the application number close hold."
Seems the youth of America do not hold Obama in high esteem anymore. Obama has become our "has been" president.
"A follow-up memo on February 28 reported receipt of 68 applications. Noting the competition among more than 1,000 schools last year, the memo said, "Something isn't working." It called on staffers to ask "friendly congressional, gubernatorial and mayoral offices" to encourage schools to apply."
I remember a Denver school was in the final three or four in last year's contest. They lost to a Michigan high school.
If we don't get someone good to run against him we have no one to blame when he gets another four year term.
