Georgetown University: Jesus is Embarrasing
To support their savior, Barack Obama, Georgetown University covered the name of Christ during a speech by the chosen one. Apparently the President asked Georgetown to cover any signage or symbols on the Gaston Hall stage where he was to deliver a soul-stirring speech.
A spokes-hole for the once Catholic institution said:
“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…. 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.”
Outrageous! I sure hope that Notre Dame is paying attention. South Bend, are you listening?
We know that Obama is no fan of religion and this is nothing shocking. But the fact that a university that claims to be Catholic would cover the name of Christ in order to appease an enemy of the faith is nothing short of depressing. It is commonly known that Georgetown University does not represent the faith. They (and many other Catholic schools) are, as others here have pointed out, CINO.

Obama: There can only be one, ‘One’.
Some people have argued that Obama does not want to use religion to further a political ideology. However, Obama did evoke the Sermon on the Mount, at this Georgetown appearance, to further his economic agenda. Although Obama failed to mention Jesus Christ by name for the 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.”
The last statement is particularly ironic since building your house upon a ‘ROCK‘ means to build your house with Christ as the foundation. Obama decided to blot out the real foundation from the timeless parable.

Thanks, Barb. Good photos!
Back to the spokes-hole…
“it seemed most respectful to have them [the IHS and cross] covered so as not to be seen out of context.”
What is respectful about that? That is completely disrespectful! Would Obama have asked a Islamic school to cover text from the Koran? I doubt it. And, for the record, the Islamic school would probably have way too much devotion and pride to debase their religion like that.
