CNSNews.com - Georgetown Says It Covered Over Name of Jesus to Comply With White House Request
Doesn't matter if he is or isn't, now does it? We enjoy the freedom of religion in the US and it is one of the major founding tenets of the philosphy for this country.
Separation of Church and State. Google it.
I would say that if they truly stood for Jesus they would not had covered it up in any manner regardless of who was coming to visit.Georgetown University Hid Religious Symbols at White House Request - First 100 Days of Presidency - Politics FOXNews.com
Georgetown University hid a religious inscription representing the name of Jesus during President Obama's address there Tuesday, FOXNews.com has learned, because White House staff asked the school to cover up all religious symbols and signs while the president was on stage.
Georgetown is a private Catholic institution founded by Jesuits in 1789. The auditorium where the president spoke Tuesday is adorned with religious imagery, but only the symbols directly on the stage -- those likely to be picked up by a television camera -- were obscured.
Bill Donohue, president of the Catholic League, accused the university of "cowardice" for acceding to the White House, and criticized Obama's team for asking a religious school to "neuter itself" before the president made his address.
What's a matter Obama, afraid people might think you're a Christian??
Donohue is spot on; the university did act cowardly in complying with this asinine request. If Obama has a problem with any religious symbols at any religious college he should just stay the fuck out of them instead of requesting they they alter what they stand for and believe in.
We have absolutely no proof that the President even knew about this request in the first place. It could very well have been made by a staff person who didn't even think about it being a religious symbol, but wanted a dark backdrop for lighting purposes.
Then again, maybe it did come directly from the mouth of the President.

It is, however, a shame that politicians have to go to such extremes to avoid controversy and by doing so they do nothing but stir up controversy. Then again, if "IHS" had been left there atheist would have been screaming that he was promoting Christianity. Guess this endeavor was doomed from the start. /shrug
The best bet would have been to have chosen a different venue in the first place which would have quelled all controversy.

Pretty clear to me that Obama requested this.
So he did this to appease atheists - - - and to hell with the Catholics?
Aside from Obama's insulting request . . . the fact that Georgetown accommodated him is beyond me. They ought to be ashamed. Cowards.

I'm sorry, but I don't see anything in your emphasized posts that state that President Obama had anything to do personally with the request.
So he did this to appease atheists - - - and to hell with the Catholics?
I don't know why he did it or even IF he did it. Someone on staff could have made the request without discussing it with the President and possibly without even intending to make a religious statement out of it.

Again, we don't know that he made the request. However, I do agree that GU should have said, "thanks, but no thanks, we don't need your 2 hours of preaching change when there is no change. Maybe you should try the local YMCA or Elks Club?"

Who are you to make this judgment?Smartt: you might be right. Thw whole thing was something that God will never honor.

"Obama's team" means Obama. I'm hard pressed to think he knew nothing about it or didn't request it himself. Still don't know why though.
Completely agree about G.U. I'm clueless as to their reasoning to accommodate Obama on this.
Georgetown, which is run by the Jesuit order, is one of the most prestigious Catholic institutions of higher education in the United States.
Cowards. They should have left IHS as is and if Obama had a problem with it then he could bugger off. WTF, so a Catholic college has to cow-tow to Obama? Please spare me the separation of church and state. It's a Catholic college; Obama should have been covered in a black triangle.

Regardless of how the request was worded, same result.
What was his purpose of this?
Remember what he said? "The United States is not a Christian nation."
How could he say this and then less than two weeks later, have ...OMG...Jesus show up during a speech.
Again, I maintain, avoid the controversy. Hold the speech somewhere religion-neutral.
