Obama on a Sunday.

Obama knows how to deal with pirates.
Administration officials say President Barack Obama approved the military operation that rescued a U.S. captain held hostage by Somali pirates.
The officials say Obama ordered the Defense Department to use military resources to rescue Richard Phillips from a lifeboat off the Somali coast.


Too bad the priests over at Notre Dame don't have the same respect.
The Rev. Theodore Hesburgh, the university’s president at the time, told me that he conferred an honorary degree on Mr. Reagan because he admired his unflinching stance during the 1980 campaign on the protection of the unborn. This was a difficult position at the time, for pressures were building in support of abortion rights after the passage of Roe v. Wade in 1973. Mr. Reagan’s views and policies were recognized in the honorary degree he received.

The Obama policy on abortion is pretty much the opposite of Ronald Reagan’s. It is precisely what the Catholic Church fights against. That is why my alma mater, while welcoming him in its midst, ought not confer an honorary degree on Mr. Obama.


Maybe they're just pissed that Obama chose the UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO over their little Catholic school. By the way, Irish: The U of C's football team is STILL undefeated by your football team. Suck it, Churchy.
Concerning Ronald Reagan and Catholics, what I know is this:
Ronald Reagan laid a wreath at Bitburg. If that's the kind of pro-life message Notre Dame embraces, then Obama should consider himself honored to be so rejected.
