After his speech he did not return to his seat, he did not stay for the remainder of the commencement but was instead escorted to an awaiting mini-golf cart and driven off the field.
Uploaded here is video from the commencement speech.
As an educator who was unable to attend the Santa Monica College protest of the ANTI-PUBLIC EDUCATION (how ironic) governor of California, I tip my hat to all of the proactive, vocal demonstrators who VOICED their opposition at Tuesday's ceremony.
Congratulations, people, you made the L.A. Times (http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-me-smc15jun15,0,4084980.story?coll=la-home-local)....Ahnuld heard you......He's bluffing when he says NOTHING will stop him.....He may have the corporate buck$, but we've got the VOTE!
Again, thanks for being there!
That's what DEMOCRACY is all about!
You suck, Arnold!
You were elected to clean up the mess left by years of elitist rule, a stupid idea to begin with given the political base you represent. A large majority of white folks and movie goers on crack voted for you to get your name on their sons and daughter diplomas that aren't worth a s$%t these days, unlike under Gay Davis, when there was still educational opportunity, albeit declining.
Corporations and politicians seeking fat kickbacks and other perks for screwing the majority, despite the fact that they make up the minority in this country. Anyone who reads knows that the rich have more money than ever, and now its also made off our dead sons and daughters in an illegal war in Iraq.
It'll be a good day when the fascist right wing indoctrination of the media and the white supremacist nazis jump back into that hole from which they emerged.
I saw this sick fuck on Channel 9 news yesterday and had to laugh as the people of California turned out in numbers to oppose -- and drown out -- the Gropenfuhrer. }:-}
And a fun time was had by all!
Could someone provide a downloadable or realplay version?

The father of DEMOCRACY got it right when he said this. I beleave arni will survive to fight in another election even if he only just survived this term. His Austrian awkwardness towards difference of opinion and his freedom of speech problem, were clearly demonstrated however he recovered to finish the speech as well as could be expected. Many thanks to the RALLY organisers and i will never forget it. Kudos
