Harold Cassidy’s Speech at Notre Dame University, 2009

In 2009, the students at Notre Dame University requested Harold Cassidy to speak to the student body in advance of President Obama’s address at the university. Mr. Cassidy’s speech was around the 25th anniversary of a watershed speech given by Governor Mario Cuomo at Notre Dame. Governor Cuomo taught Mr. Cassidy while he was in law school, and Mr. Cassidy took President Obama’s appearance as an opportunity to point out the number of flaws in Governor Cuomo’s assumptions and argument made 25 years earlier.

Following Mr. Cassidy’s presentation, Governor Cuomo wrote to the Notre Dame students and thanked Mr. Cassidy for his “graciousness” and thoughtful presentation.
