This is a Catholic question and not some quandary for Emily Post. As a Catholic, I don't care if this pro-abort Obamanation is emperor of the universe or POTUS. He has absolutely NO BUSINESS being allowed on the Notre Dame campus much less giving commencement addresses or receiving an "honorary" doctor of laws degree.

I agree. I would guess that most, if not all, of us do.

Georgetown should have told him that “In Hoc Signo Vinces” is Pall Mall’s slogan too.

I wouldn’t bet on it Notre Dame. My money’s on Zero calling your bluff - and you WILL back down.

Actually, Muslims have a great devotion to “Miriam” the mother of Jesus.

I have Chaldean friends straight out of Iraq who said that the Muslims in their neighborhood would leave flowers at their Mary statues.

If Obama wore a crucifix, he would smoke, sizzle and hiss.

Such religious symbols will probably burn into Obama’s flesh.

You are absolutely right.

I fired off a letter to Father Jenkins voicing my displeasure of this whole thing. Either Father Jenkins will bow to the altar of Obama, or he'll bow to the God, and the Blessed Virgin Mary.

There is no compromise with our faith in God.

I'm still betting that for some reason, Hussein will not be at the Notre Dame commencement.

Obama will wear the robe with the cross and Obama and Notre Dame's apologists will claim that means something.

Exactly.

Aside from the moral and religious issues—which should, of course, have ruled this invitation out without a second thought—Obama has done virtually NOTHING in the field of law. He has written nothing (except one unsigned article promoting abortion) and he has done nothing.

He spent TEN YEARS as an instructor of Constitutional Law at the University of Illinois, Chicago, without having written a single scholarly article. It is unprecedented that an instructor was kept on for so long with such a dismal record—nothing at all to recommend him except affirmative action and political connections.

There are probably several hundred thousand lawyers out there who have accomplished more, one way or another, toward deserving an honoris causa degree in law than Obama. The nine young lawyers just out of law school recently named as SCOTUS clerks have probably accomplished more already, before leaving law school than Obama has in his whole career.

Nor has he done anything noteworthy in any other field.

What does the Left use to jusify their lying? Or is it that they live in an alternate reality?

“IS IT ME or DOES ANYBODY ELSE BELIEVE THAT OBAMA IS IN FACT “ The Enemy of the State “ ? This is starting to bother me... He’s our President... Right?”

I was just having this conversation with a family member - mostly concerning local people who have to receive security clearance in order to work on the president’s helicopter.

Obama wouldn’t have received such clearance - and yet he gets to ride the helicopter as president. Amazing.

Ahhh...Martin Sheen. I’ve seen many like him.

My guess is that if you ask Martin if he opposes abortion, he would say he does.
But he is that special brand of “pro-lifer” who shouts about “social justice” and the “seamless garment”.
And after all the psychobabble and gobbledygook they sputter, it winds up that Obama is a saint.
