QuotePresident Barack Obama has been briefly heckled as he addressed students at one of the largest Catholic universities in the US amid a row over abortion rights.

Anti-abortion activists have protested against the president's visit to Notre Dame, in Indiana.

Protests and vigils have been held on and around campus, with several people arrested before Mr Obama's speech.

Saw it in the news this morning, thought you might be interested

I continue to despise Notre Dame football. Mainly due to rampant Timmayism and Charlie Weis (The Hindenburg of coaches).

This was all over the news this weekend, too much. I tuned in to just see the Pres speak, and he was well received I felt. I got tired of the controversy, but abortion issues brings controversy out, for both sides of the issue.

As in the blimp that crashed and burned in the thirties, or the airship that caught fire while docking in New Jersey in 1937?  :)

No need for more people.  Do like KRonn up there said.  Also get yourself tased several times (you'll have to come up with something better than "DON'T TASE ME BRO! OOOOW!" though, which might be difficult).  You'll be all over the news, and it'll be great.  :yes:
