Obama Gets Heckled, Commends Notre Dame’s Commitment to Intramural Sports

Monday, May 18th, 2009

Obama gave the commencement key note at the Notre Dame Graduation on Saturday, and not everyone there was psyched about it. I’ll start this one about 4:20 in, you’ll see why…





They probably limited the students to 2-4 tickets for the family, and some kid had the audacity to invite his/her limo driver. Unreal.

As if he almost predicted the outburst, Obama went were he needed to go to calm the ND crowd – the playing field. But what angle do you choose when you’re dealing with the fact that the once dominant Notre Dame legacy has been reduced to a middling Basketball team and a middling football team? Well, guys, you’ve still got the largest outdoor 5-on-5 tournament in the World. (Did I mention I had the Tarheels come over my house the other day?)

Had Jeeves heard Hallelujah Holla Back roll off Barack’s tongue? Agreed, he still would shouted obscenities from the Upper Deck.
