Ramsey blog: Obama mentions Air Force Olympian David Higgins in graduation speech

David Higgins

Barack Obama singled out Air Force Academy competitive shooter David Higgins Thursday morning during his presidential graduation address.

Higgins is among the 2016 academy graduates. In April, he earned a place on the United States Olympic Shooting Team in the 50-meter prone event.

Higgins listened as the president talked about his upcoming trip to the Rio Olympics. Higgins, Obama announced, can travel to Rio and win a gold medal.

The sentence sounded close to a presidential command.

“No pressure,” Obama said, laughing as he ended his mention of Air Force’s Olympian.
