Notre Dame Switchboard Overwhelmed 3/21/2009 - 9:10 PM PST
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE MEDIA ADVISORY Catholic PRWire
Notre Dame Grads Condemn Obama Decision
Detroit/South Bend (March 21, 2009) - As of late Friday night, hundreds of callers had overwhelmed the switchboard at Notre Dame as news began to circulate that Obama had been invited to give the commencement address at Notre Dame on May 17th. Sources at Notre Dame as well as the White House late Friday afternoon confirmed the invitation had been extended and accepted.
ND operators said the calls simply became too much to handle. Voice mails of the University President, Vice-President, Provost, assistant-provost and PR director were all full by 10pm EST. Operators were suggesting that callers try again on Monday when university officials would be back in their offices.
All the calls were expressing outrage. None supported the decision.
Two Notre Dame alumni who own and operate the world’s first Catholic internet TV station www.realcatholictv.com both immediately denounced the university’s decision to award Barack Obama honors and give him a stage from which to speak.

pathetic on the part of ND. Lining up to get the radically pro-abort President is pretty bad.
There is life out there! Good.
I got an email from J.D. Hayworth (KFYI) advising that BO is going to be speaking to the brainwashed pinheads at Arizona State “University” also.
I just hope that the ND administration is more willing to listen to their constituents than the Obama administration and his congress are willing to listen to the people of this country. However, I expect they may not have the integrity and personal strength to un-invite a sitting president.
I hope that who ever is responsible for Obama’s invitation will resign or be fired! He’s disgusting and a murderer. He has nothing in common with pro-life people.
Oh no! Please say it isn't so. I'm sure dear, stupid Janet had something to do with his invite! Liberal profs have brainwashed the youth enough without BO bringing his Communist agenda to further brainwash them.
If BHO speaks at ND then the entire Catholic pro life stance is a sham... and I’m Catholic...
Disgusting and vile.
When the rich Alums stop their donations..they will see the light.
The Catholic pro life stance is not a sham...just whoever at ND who is responsible for this.
****rich Alums****
That is so 2008...
and I so hope I am wrong...
If obama does show up to speak at Notre Dame, all who oppose his abortion policies should stand and turn their backs on him during his remarks.
They should wear shrouds and death masks on the back of their heads.
Can they disinvite him?
The way it would work is the ND president would have to contact the WH and explain his dilemma. The WH would announce something important on that date which requires the president’s attention. We all giggle and cheer.
Note to skulls full of mush! You don’t actually have to attend the ceremony to GRADUATE! Boycott it! They’ll mail you your sheepskin!
I am sending a red empty envelope to ND president Father Jenkins. We are in bizzaro world.
Maybe somebody in the White House will ‘suddenly remember’ that Dear Leader was previously booked and ‘unavailable.’
