With Obama’s polls falling like Michael Moore’s blood sugar after a 15-second break from a crate of Twinkies, the Tea Party Revolution continuing to gain strength and with the inevitable embarrassment he will give himself by opening his mouth at his Castro speech/press conference tonight comes yet another piece of news that should make Obama consider switching to unfiltered.

A whopping 80,000 people have signed a petition that asks the University of Notre Dame to refuse to have Obama speak at their May 17 commencement. (Hat tip: Michelle Malkin) Or about 80,000 more than were knocking on doors this past weekend.

Dear Father Jenkins:

It has come to our attention that the University of Notre Dame will honor President Barack Obama as its commencement speaker on May 17.

It is an outrage and a scandal that “Our Lady’s University,” one of the premier Catholic universities in the United States, would bestow such an honor on President Obama given his clear support for policies and laws that directly contradict fundamental Catholic teachings on life and marriage.

This nation has many thousands of accomplished leaders in the Catholic Church, in business, in law, in education, in politics, in medicine, in social services, and in many other fields who would be far more appropriate choices to receive such an honor from the University of Notre Dame.

Instead Notre Dame has chosen prestige over principles, popularity over morality. Whatever may be President Obama’s admirable qualities, this honor comes on the heels of some of the most anti-life actions of any American president, including expanding federal funding for abortions and inviting taxpayer-funded research on stem cells from human embryos.

Somehow, I do not think that US magazine or any other Obama Cult-Suckers will be reporting on this.

By the way, where is that puppy? Is Clinton holding it hostage?
