Point well taken TRUTHIZ.Yes, the student body as a whole was very warm and welcoming to the President. I was referring moreso to those critics both inside and outside the room when I spoke of the detractors the President silenced. His approach was more rational and more "Christian" than perhaps they were prepared for. He did a tremendous job!- DJ

"All at once, a room that was at first stirring in protest was suddenly silenced under the weight of its own ideals. How could a room of supposed "Christians" continue to act so "UN-Christian" toward their invited guest?"@DJ- I have to Respectfully disagree with the premise of the above highlighted passage. From my observation of how the entire event played out, I was struck by the following:1st: Contrary to much of the hype and pure BS manufactured and peddled by cable news media, turns out a clear MAJORITY of Notre Dame students, the faculty_and American Catholics in general_actually supported the President being invited to give the commencement address.2nd: Not only was the majority of "haters" NOT students of Notre Dame__they were BUSED IN from other areas and relatively a handful in number compared to the THOUSANDS of students and guests who greeted the President with a rousing standing ovation_and then drowned out the few pathetic attempts by "haters" to disrupt.3. For reasons I've already stated, I'd say the majority of those who attended the speech did indeed conducted themselves in a most Honorable, inclusive and "Welcoming" manner_be they "Christians" or otherwise.The "haters" conducted themselves as_well, "Haters"_certainly NOT as "Christians" which brings me to your closing paragraph: "Mr. Obama's message was textbook — a virtual masterclass. The room was silenced. The point was made. The tables were turned. The argument was won!"Yes indeed. Pres. "O" was quite impressive:)
