Clearly, President Obama is a sensitive, intelligent, and moral man. He proved that again today at the graduation ceremonies at Notre Dame University in Indiana. As proud as I was of President Obama, who despite his views that clash with those of the Catholic hierarchy on many issues, as a Catholic and a member of the majority of Catholics who also disagree with the hierarchy on many issues and yet voted overwhelmingly for Obama in the recent election, I was incredibly proud of the graduating class of Notre Dame 2009. They gave the President a standing ovation and made it clear he was THEIR president and that they were proud of that fact! There were a small number of protesters at the fringes of the Notre Dame graduation ceremonies, but as one priest said, who welcomed the President with the administration of Notre Dame who gave this great man an honorary doctorate, "Sometimes the least of us make the most noise....." Well said and bravo! As a Catholic, Notre Dame, its students and the great President Barack Obama have made me very proud this day...thank you to all....
