Having put up with hecklers at Notre Dame, President Barack Obama got in a shot of his own at the school whose renowned football team has gone its longest stretch without a national championship. After giving the commencement speech at Notre Dame, Obama spoke at an Indianapolis fundraiser Sunday night. He joked that he told the Rev. John Jenkins, the university president, that the controversy surrounding his campus appearance “paled in comparison to what to do about the football team.” The Fighting Irish haven’t won a national championship since 1988. “That’s an issue we may not resolve within my four years,” Obama said. “Eight,” shouted someone from the audience. “All right, well, maybe in eight we might get it done,” Obama said.
