[Sinfix_15]

Is telling people their goal should be to help others and not just themselves controversial now?

Yes, telling people what their goals should be is controversial.

Go rape women and murder cripples if that's what your heart desires but do you really think no one should tell you that certain goals aren't admirable?

The president stated, “No one expects you to take a vow of poverty. But I will say it betrays a poverty of ambition if all you think about is what goods you can buy instead of what good you can do.” As others have pointed out, this is about as plain vanilla of a commencement speech as you will ever see. How is this worthy of discussion in any form?

If only the government could take it's own advice......

This coming from Obama is ironic to me... that's all. But i understand it's just a generic speech... i dont have issues, but if i did i should take them up with the teleprompter.
