Obama at Notre Dame
With his landmark speech on race last year in Philadelphia, Obama showed Americans he does not avoid facing controversial issues head on.

His presence was not without controversy, as some members of the Catholic community questioned the appropriateness of honouring someone whose views on abortion and stem cell research don’t mesh with those of the Church. And just like he did with his speech on race, Obama did not shy away from expressing his views.

After a tip from a post office employee, Leonard’s people alerted the FBI to Joel Bridger, a 30-year-old Texas man who allegedly stole Leonard’s identity and used his famous name to apply for credit cards and a cell phone. When will these thugs ever learn? If you’re going to impersonate a PGA Tour pro, stick with the generic names. Like Chris Smith. Or Steve Jones.
