President Obama delivered the commencement address to almost 600 female grads of Barnard College on Monday, and spent the bulk of the speech enthusiastically encouraging the young women to “fight for a seat at the head of the table.” But he attributed the guidance that garnered the most cheers from the audience to First Lady Michelle: you can look goodand be at the top of your professional game.
So, during our week out on the town, we asked everyone we ran into:
What did you think of Obama’s advice to young professional women that they can be “stylish and powerful”?
Herewith, an array of reactions from Hugh Dancy, Mary McFadden, Patrick Wilson,Mark Ruffalo, and Gavin McInnes.

@thegavin2000: “The bad news is you sleep all day and get constipated and it’s really expensive and when you stop doing it, it feels like your skin is on fire. Then you die.” What’s the good news? “Oh, just before you fall asleep, it feels really good and if you wake up, you can do it again.”
@thehipstermom I’m feeling these. Kinda my life.
