Notre Dame's angry over Pres. Obama

On Sunday, Obama will become one of many sitting U.S. presidents to deliver the commencement address at the Catholic institution. The honor comes much to the chagrin of anti-abortion groups and Catholics protesting the president's pro-choice, pro-stem cell research views. CNN
I can say that it's just racism. Obama's first African-American and used to be muslim, doesn't matter if he converted to christianity. To catholic he remains the same.
Mr. Bush lied about Iraq's Weapon of Mass destruction which only in the end destroyed Iraq not America. There was no threat to America, but people in Iraq are suffering this useless war imposed by some politicians.
Notre Dame's student didn't protest on how innocent people were being killed in Iraq and Afghanistan. So why are these students against stem cell research? What's wrong with killing a life that doesn't even begin to think it's a life and one who is already leading a life is killed by American air force. In fact, Bush has used American patriots to fight in Iraq for his own main purpose to get Saddam and get re-elected.
The students at Notre Dame need to think wisely before they take a step for protesting or even not showing up at Obama's visit at the University of Notre Dame. Most of the people at this Catholic University are against abortion, and stem cell research.
University of Notre Dame senior Emily Toates, like many in the Catholic faith, is angry over her school's decision to give President Obama an honorary degree at this weekend's commencement.
"If he was invited to a town hall meeting, a panel discussion, something where we were discussing these issues ... then I wouldn't have a problem with it. I would go and hear what he has to say," she said. "The problem is, a commencement isn't the context for a dialogue. He's going to be standing up on the stage speaking to us in our seats. There isn't that opportunity for dialogue." CNN
I disagree with this view that this student has pictured, Pres. Obama gave women choice to pick what's best for them. When Obama said he woud be changing laws such as lifting ban from abortion and so on, some people think each woman is going to the hospital getting an abortion. It's like he makes this law and suddenly no woman in America wants a baby. And btw America has the highest rate of babies being born to unmarried woman, ages 13-40.
Looks like these students should protest against colleges who let woman who have babies without a husband. It doesn't make sense, you're giving woman a choice to be alone and still give birth, why not give them a choice not to get pregnant while being married?
"Catholics are not a monolithic group. If you divide between practicing Catholics and nonpracticing Catholics, you'll find that the practicing Catholics for some reason are opposed to Obama getting an honor. They're not opposed to him speaking at Notre Dame; they're opposed to him being honored," Donohue said. CNN
Reading this article I think Catholics don't accept Obama reject his presidency and him leading the country in the right direction.
By not welcoming the Pres. Obama, they should know that they are doing same thing as Iran's president does to Israel. Iran's pres. doesn't respect Israel's legal right to be a country.
It's a shame to read that Catholics of Notre Dame welcomed a white president but they're hesitant and feel a bit awkward about honoring a black president. Just doesn't seem like it's right to do things like that.
History of Notre Dame;
The University of Notre Dame du Lac is a private Roman Catholic research university located in Notre Dame, Indiana, USA. It is the largest Catholic university in the United States.
It was founded by Father Edward Sorin, CSC, who was also the school's first president. It was established as an all-male institution on November 26, 1842, in an area first settled as a mission by Father Claude-Jean Allouez S.J. in 1686. The university first enrolled women in 1972, and 47 percent of the student body is female. Notre Dame's Catholic heritage is evident in the architecture around campus, manifested by the ornate Basilica of the Sacred Heart, together with numerous chapels and religious iconography.
