The students should chant “birth certificate” at the commencment speech. Also, bring along signs asking to see Obama’s original birth certificate, visa, and Occidental College school records.

God Bless Alan Keyes and the other marchers onto the Notre Dame campus. The entire school is a disgrace to all with a reverence for life, especially the faithful now attending and soon graduating, not to mention the alumni.

How did all the king's morons and all the king's dregs make this happen? Did they actually believe that having the POTUS on campus would bring glory and honor to the school, even if the POTUS is aggressively anti-life? Do the decision makers look forward to having a photo of themselves with the POTUS? Or, are they pleased with themselves because they brought the school to a new level? They will resign in disgrace and spend the remainder of their pathetic lives doing penance. I will pray for their redemption.

When donations begin to dry up, maybe then they’ll become a Catholic university again! Can only hope, but won’t hold my breath.

Demostrating without a permit or that I think was the first arrest........ Maybe something different this time... Private property maybe an issue also.

Other than offering my support for fellow life loving brothers and sisters in Christ, being Protestant I have no real horse in this race so I've, for the most part, kept my criticism of Notre Dame to myself. But there is one blaring question that I think as an American and a Christian that I need to ask, "why is Obama doing this"? What does he have to gain by speaking at Notre Dame? He obviously already has the Pro-Choice Catholic votes so the only possible outcome for him is to alienate the Pro-Life Catholics even more than he already has. But Why?

Am I wrong to think that any sitting President of the United States should believe that he should be representing the best interest of all Americans, not just the ones who voted for him and as such should be sensitive to be doing anything that is not necessary to National Defense or to save American lives that would offend or alienate any of the people he serves?

So I ask, why is he doing this? The only possible reason I can see is that he is doing it to elevate himself above God in the eyes of Americans and even the world and to mock Christians by showing that to even the Catholics of Notre Dame his presence is more important than their own beliefs.

I'm not surprised that the MSM in general has not asked why, but I am surprised Catholic conservative commentators such as Hannity have not asked why.

Well, at least we can hope. I know they’ve taken a pretty good hit on the donations already.

You really have to wonder, what was so important about Obama coming to Notre Dame?

I pray tomorrow and Sunday finds a huge influx of people able to protest at Notre Dame.

Norma McCorvey-the “Roe” of Roe vs. Wade will be entering the campus later today to be arrested.

Randall Terry was interviewed by Hannity tonight on TV.

I do wish there would be a big crowd for the alternative ceremony on Sunday as well, but thousands of protestors would be a good thing, too.

And what would they do if thousands chose to be arrested.

Whatever happened to those who shouted down David Horowitz? I can’t find anything about them.

Or Ann Coulter. Then there is Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Ahmadinejad Can Speak on a US Campus, But Netanyahu Cannot

The students should stick to the issue and just chant “LIFE.”

There are many other opportunities to protest Obama on other issues.

I wonder how many students at Notre Dame are children of alums?

Because, if there are a lot, and they aren’t protesting too, then could it be said that the parents have failed to instill in them the values and virtues of catholicism?

Then again, maybe the student population is full of radicals who have no parental connection to the university and are pretty much products of internationalism and no religious loyalty.

"BTTTTTT!!!!!!! and turn their backs on O and boycott ND!!"

I will pay good money to see the entire graduating class stand with their backs to Barry while he is speaking.

Video of such would be worth much in the war on ending Abortion!

***I will pay good money to see the entire graduating class stand with their backs to Barry while he is speaking.***

Would that we Catholics take this anti abortion zeal to encompass all of the Faith, not just a piece of it.
