Below are quotes from 2010 graduation speakers. Match the quotation with one of these five speakers: A. Bill Clinton, B. Arne Duncan, C. John Grisham, D. Rachel Maddow, E. Meryl Streep

1. I am or I was an expert in kissing on stage and on screen. How did I prepare for this? Well most of my preparation took place in my suburban high school or rather behind my suburban high school in New Jersey. One is obliged to do great deal of kissing in my line of work. Air kissing, ass-kissing, kissing up and of course actual kissing.

2. Of course, the future is yours. Who else would want it? Take it. You can have it. We’ve had our chance and made a royal mess of things. I’m sure you can do better. I expect you will.

3. Everybody always says around occasions like this, “Life is short.” It might be. If it is for you, I’m sorry and I wish that was not the case. But if all goes well, hopefully, life is long. Do stuff you will enjoy thinking about and telling stories about for a long time to come. Do stuff you will want to brag about.

4. For the record, I would like to say that I am taller than both John McCain and Barack Obama. Also, I believe I have a better jump shot than John McCain… And I think I will stop there.

5. When I became president, believe it or not, there were only 50 sites on the entire World Wide Web. There’ve been more than that added since I started talking.
