OBAMA
There’s nothing that Obama can’t get away with at this point. He is the orchestra leader of a new political blitzkrieg, which makes the Clinton machine look like Tinkertoys.

OBAMA AND NOTRE DAME
A Calumny against the Cardinal – The Chicago Tribune is wrong about the Notre Dame controversy, and much else – By George Weigel

Former secretary of Veterans Affairs and former U.S. ambassador to the Holy City, Jim Nicholson – I stand with Cardinal George and a lot of the bishops. There’s 70 million Catholics in this country, and 55 percent of those that have voted voted for President Obama, and he’s done nothing since he’s been president but to stick it right into their eye,
https://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,512736,00.html
Canadian Catholic Register column – Rescinding Obama’s invitation would be un-civil. Civilization depends on certain social codes, and one of the most ancient and most important is that of hospitality. The very concept of hospitality was developed to protect the vulnerable. And in host-guest relations, it is the guest who is most vulnerable. Notre Dame students should not be denied the chance to see and hear in person the President of the United States.

Islam in America, Part Five: Education
