Yesterday's highly emotional and controversial appearance by President Obama at Notre Dame has come and gone and already it seems the buzz had quickly faded. That's due in part to the fact that Obama gave an excellent speech, standing his ground but acknowledging the controversy and the right to differing opinions, and calling for a common ground in discussing issues such as abortion and stem-cell research, issues that led to the protests. We won't bother to pontificate any further on the matter. Instead, we'll let the President's words speak for themselves. Read the text of Obama's speech here and watch it here. Above, check out pictures from the heated weekend, including an appearance by the infamous Westboro Baptist Church.

I would pose an alternate reason for the quick buzz fade: It was a non-story to begin with.
those protest signs are nuts
Abortion is a complicated and sensitive issue, so rather than take sides, look to the Westboro Baptist Church to plainly remind you that whether you're pro-life or pro-choice, you're still a fag.
Are the Westboro nutjobs also rastafarians? Is "infamous" really the best adjective? Not "inconsequential"?
Oh, let the Westboro knuckleheads have their fun. It's the closest any of them will ever get to a college.
I wonder if Notre Dame is done power washing yet. I can't help but imagine that they leave some sort of residue behind.
Hey! Wait a minute!
Isn't that guy holding the "God Hates Israel" sign and standing on the flag the guy from Six Flags????
God hates flags.
As I said a few days ago, my husband and I were at ND over the weekend for a friend who got her doctorate. I'm really really glad we didn't step foot on campus Sunday to watch the speech somewhere, because if he had seen the Phelps crowd, he might have punched someone.
Also, on Saturday there was a dude in revolutionary war garb. Still trying to figure that one out.
He probably got lost looking for one of those "Tea Parties" last month and still hadn't found his way home.
Ha ha ha ha.... clever :)
RUDY!
