Obama makes Georgetown University cover up religious symbols during speech
« on: April 18, 2009, 07:25:52 AM »
Georgetown University hid a religious inscription representing the name of Jesus during President Obama's address there Tuesday, FOXNews.com has confirmed, because White House staff asked the school to cover up all religious symbols and signs while the president was on stage.

The monogram IHS, whose letters spell out the name of Jesus, and which normally perches above the stage in Gaston Hall where the president spoke, was covered over with what appeared to be black wood during the address.

"In coordinating the logistical arrangements for the event, Georgetown honored the White House staff's request to cover all of the Georgetown University signage and symbols behind the Gaston Hall stage," university spokesman Andy Pino told FOXNews.com.

The White House said that the backdrop, which included blue drapes and a host of American flags, was standard during policy speeches and other events.

"Decisions made about the backdrop for the speech were made to have a consistent background of American flags, which is standard for many presidential events," said White House spokesman Shin Inouye in a statement released Thursday.

Hi,

I guess BO can't stand the competition.  Sure wish the mainstream news would blast away at this.  I copied and pasted this article from the Fox News website.

The left went mental when John Ashcroft covered up exposed breasts on a statue during his speeches, So I am certain they will have the same distaste for Obama's actions, right ? right ? Bueller ?

I don't think Obama likes Catholics.  :bawl:


I'm a terrorist because I'm a Catholic ( :bird:) and now he goes into a CATHOLIC university to give a speech and he wants religious symbols covered before he will enter....

is he Satan.....or a vampire?

But I thought 0Bama was the 'Second Coming",  so wouldn't that be like covering up an old year book photo of himself?  :fuelfire:

Ashcroft covered up the statues because the left-stream media's photographers kept framing the breasts by his head.
