VIDEO: Wow! Check out this protest at the graduation
But not against Obama at Notre Dame!

This was in 2007 at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst. And almost all the students AND faculty there were *actually* pissed. Unlike the Notre Dame graduation today with Obama where there were only a few small protests off campus.

You'd never know which one was more "controversial" though from the media's coverage, or lack of, of both.

(At the 2:40 mark, especially.)

4. I think these kids are being misunderstood --
They are not screaming, "Booooo!", they're yelling, "An-dreeeewwwwwwwww!!!"

6. But was Card wearing a suit jacket under that robe?
That's the important issue here.

7. Not sure of the context behind the question, but ...
...having sat through 3 hours of a graduation ceremony yesterday, I was so overheated that I was ready to puke. No jacket, just a dress shirt under the robe.
