Some students wore ponchos to avoid the rain today at Morehouse College. Others were just happy to graduate.

After four (five, six, etc.) years of college, students at Morehouse College had to tackle one more obstacle at graduation today: the rain.

President Barack Obama, who address the historically black college as Commencement speaker, jokingly told students the unavoidable truth.

“I also have to say you all are going to get wet,” Obama said at graduation.

“I would be out there with you if I could. But Secret Service gets nervous, so I’m going to have to stay here, dry. But know that I’m with you in spirit.”
