Notre Dame’s class of 2009 valedictorian Brennan Bollman says she has no problem sharing the stage with President Obama.

She tells her hometown paper: “The reason it’s so meaningful for many of us to have this president speak is because we see him as someone who lives by example. He began as a community organizer and he continues to live by those values.

“I can only hope that my graduating class can live our values throughout our lives as he has done. He sticks with his values and his ideals. … he’s a great leader.”
