Re: [MLUG - DISCUSSION] [POLITICS] Obama's Notre Dame address -question

["Spurling, Shannon" <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

Who’s kidding who.

That wasn’t a critique. It was a commendation that said in a roundabout way “He’s bold, and not afraid to face the pro lifers on their own turf, even if it means breaking the unwritten rules!” Bad mouthing the president? Yeah, right.   In the liberal culture, you break the rules. You challenge the establishment. He’s shaking things up! That is their modus operand. He was following it to a “T”. At first I thought Mike was being sarcastic.

 

Does anyone else think they were critiquing him? I didn’t read it that way at all…

Are you kidding me? Someone at CNN said something against Obama. That explains all the earthquakes in California lately, the world is coming to an end!

Ha!  He's the friggin' President of the United States of America and he
does pretty much what he wants to do.  There were people in the audience
screaming at him, people outside protesting and many graduating students
in the audience were wearing mortar boards with Christian crosses and baby
footprints.  I think it was very wise to say something about the issue,
and wiser still to say something that helped calm people down and made
them think about other ways to do good without fighting one another so
much.  If someone on CNN is trying to make it seem like Obama did
something wrong at Notre Dame, my guess is that same CNN person spends a
lot of time honing his/her anti-Obama rhetoric.  It's all a political game
for a lot of these people -- they'll never admit that he is doing good
things.
