And shortly before the events, it was announced that the Bushs' would be
hosting large private parties in Austin and Boston for their daughters. So,
the President was in town, he just did not attend the public graduation
ceremonies...

It was announced a few weeks ago that the Bush's would NOT attend
the graduation ceremonies for either daughter to avoid really
annoying everyone else attending.

UT graduates thousands of students in the spring. Any idea how many
parents/relatives/friends would be come staunch democrats (altho
I remember a time in Texas if you admitted to being a registered
Republican you could never get a job!) really fast! If you
think TFRs are a problem, consider on-the-ground security.
