Obama demands Georgetown cover up name of Jesus for his speech.

[red states rule]

If Obama didn't want to be associated with Christ, he could have picked another location. That's easy enough, but pick the location then cover up the name of Christ?

How does that fly?


Georgetown Says It Covered Over Name of Jesus to Comply With White House Request
Wednesday, April 15, 2009
By Edwin Mora

CNSNews.com) - Georgetown University says it covered over the monogram “IHS”--symbolizing the name of Jesus Christ—because it was inscribed on a pediment on the stage where President Obama spoke at the university on Tuesday and the White House had asked Georgetown to cover up all signs and symbols there.

As of Wednesday afternoon, the “IHS” monogram that had previously adorned the stage at Georgetown’s Gaston Hall was still covered up--when the pediment where it had appeared was photographed by CNSNews.com.

“In coordinating the logistical arrangements for yesterday’s event, Georgetown honored the White House staff’s request to cover all of the Georgetown University signage and symbols behind Gaston Hall stage,” Julie Green Bataille, associate vice president for communications at Georgetown, told CNSNews.com.

“The White House wanted a simple backdrop of flags and pipe and drape for the speech, consistent with what they’ve done for other policy speeches,” she added. “Frankly, the pipe and drape wasn’t high enough by itself to fully cover the IHS and cross above the GU seal and it seemed most respectful to have them covered so as not to be seen out of context.”

Obama did not mention the name of Jesus during his address. However, he did mention Christ’s Sermon on the Mount.

“There is a parable at the end of the Sermon on the Mount that tells a story of two men…‘the rain descended and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house…it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock,’” Obama said.

“We cannot rebuild this economy on the same pile of sand,” he added. “We must build our house upon a rock.”

So what chicken shot point are you trying make this time?

Really Sport, it your too stupid too see the obvious hypocrisy, don't even ask for a point....
He could have rented a couple of Styrofoam Greek columns for a backdrop and do his schtik from the Rose Garden....why go to a Church and then go to such lengths to hid the fact you're in a Church....
He, like 99% of Democrats, is a hypocrite....

Get a grip. There is no hypocrisy. The campus is Georgetown University. The church was the best building for the speech. What you suggest is what G. Wrong Bush would do.

Bush? Hardly....In fact, its already what your Messiah has done....that is, the Greek Column thing....don't you remember...
The Georgetown campus has auditoriums and sports arenas that would have served the purpose even better, why use a Church and then try to hid it...?
Can you say hypocrite, skippy....?

It's not appropriate for a guest to request that the host change their home to the guests specifications when unnecessary. In this case, for the WH to request that a Catholic University cover signs of being Catholic is wrong. However, I will say it says more about Georgetown than I wanted to know.

Why Obama just didn't go to George Washington University? Beats me.

i don't get it....obama orders it covered up...but then talks about christ

The white house asked for the entire backdrop to be covered. There was no specific item named. That is what makes this whole thread silly.

The only things that were 'covered' were signs of it being a Catholic University. Wrong to ask, wrong for the school to comply.

...We known for quite awhile Barack was an asshole...being the Messiah, maybe he didn't like the competition from this IHS guy...
but You're absolutely right K....it says more about the Catholic Church and their lack of backbone....
Maybe their fear of the IRS now being in the hands of Barack and his goons is greater than we all realize...and we all know that that fear is hardly just their imagination...

Wrong, with respect. It says more about this particular Catholic University, along with Notre Dame, than about the Catholic Church. Just check out the bishops reactions.

Maybe the ASSCLOWN obama didn't want his Muslim brothers to find out he was in a church

Well A15, I guess that establishes a pretty clear difference between what Obama and Bush would do!

Pretty open and shut really!

[PostmodernProphet]

I'm surprised he didn't make them cover up the stained glass as well.....
