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. Thanks, Barb. Good photos!

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.
