Obama asks for greater understanding as debate rages around Notre Dame

"Confronting the nation's deep schism over abortion, President Barack Obama yesterday called for greater understanding on all sides as he spoke to graduates and others at one of America's premier Catholic universities."

Dispatch story here.

This reminds me of another great American thinker, Rodney King. (Can we all just get along?)

Trying to change the subject and making abortion one of those "you have your opinion and I have mine" sort of like, rooting for the Browns over the Bengals.

While His Smugness was being honored* by a (supposed) Pro-Life Catholic school, we still had babies being ripped from their own mother's wombs.

50,000,000 abortions, choices, dead children so far and counting. Yet, he wants to talk and talk and talk.

Shame on Notre Dame.

*Not sure if Notre Dame has any honor to bestow, after this travesty.

Rob Portman

The Ohio GOP recently had a press release about Rob Portman's decision to run for Voinovich's Senate seat.

I found it odd that all they seemed to want to highlight was how he is liked by Democrats. Does the Ohio GOP think that if the dems like you they will vote for you? John McCain could tell them otherwise.

We don't need a compromiser. We need someone that will fight. Fight for the unborn, fight for traditional marriage, fight for lower taxes AND lower spending.

So, I'm confused about what type of Republican Portman is, is he a Rodney King type (c-can't we all just g-get along?) or is he a conservative that both walks the walks after he talks the talk?

Ohio conservatives are tired of democrat-lite Republicans.
