If I wanted your opinion, I'd tell you it

So I thought yesterday's post about President Obama not receiving an honorary degree at ASU was enough. Wrong. It turns out that over the weekend there was more controversy when he spoke at Notre Dame.





What's the big deal here people? I think it really comes down to the fact that most people should keep their opinions and views to themselves and their blogs.

So Obama is pro-choice, okay? So you don't want him to receive an honorary degree? You mean to tell me that everyone that graduates from Notre Dame has to be pro-life. I can see it now, a guy gets enough credits to graduate, and then the last question on the last exam in his last class is "Are you pro-choice."

Who cares. If you don't like what he has to say, don't go to his speech. There were people yelling at him while he was trying to give his speech and their were a lot of people outside protesting. Some people want to celebrate and enjoy themselves on this graduation day, a day they have been working 22 years toward.

This reminds me of the Seinfeld episode in which Elaine falls in love with this guy who she thinks is the best. She is telling Jerry how great this guy is, and then he asks what this guy's stance is on abortion. Elaine is worried and ends up asking him, and their relationship falls apart. Keep your opinions to yourself.
