We got a kick out of this considering the ruckus over President Obama's Notre Dame commencement speech earlier this year. Warning: Language gets NSFW so use the earphones.

The day of reckoning is upon us at the University of Notre Dame, where President Obama, in a few short hours, will give his commencement speech, a speech a group of students aren't too happy about. Yesterday, 19 non-student protesters were arrested during a demonstration on the campus. With emotions running high, we expect an interesting scene, and a good speech, from the campus in South Bend. CNN and most other cable networks will be carrying the event live (1 p.m.) so check it out and come back tomorrow when we'll break down what the President said.

Days before Notre Dame’s graduation ceremony, the emotional debate over President Obama delivering the famous Catholic University’s commencement address is mounting. “This president stands for many pro-abortion or pro-choice policies that are in direct conflict of my Catholic faith,” Andrew Chronister told the Tribune. Chronister, a theology major, is one of a group of seniors who will attend a prayer service for the unborn instead of attending their own graduation ceremony. There have already been protests on campus since Obama accepted the university’s invitation in March, and a plane with a banner showing the remains of an aborted fetus recently flew over South Bend’s skies.
