Obama & Christ Can’t Share Stage: White House Asks Georgetown to Cover Up Jesus’ Monogram for President

Utterly outrageous.
No room for Jesus Christ and Pres. Barack Obama on same stage at Georgetown, a Catholic university... what's next?
But, as I have discovered, socialism has no patience or need for religion, and marginalizing it or diminishing it is a key step to the gradual turning of a capitalist nation into a socialist nation. Therefore, Obama’s request that references to Jesus Christ, including an ancient monogram, be hidden or removed is no surprise.
What is even more confounding is that Georgetown agreed to his demands. To satisfy the narcissistic whims of a mere mortal, to turn its back on Jesus to gain approval from a non-believer, the university buckled. I say “non-believer” because would any true believer of God ever have the unmitigated hubris to put himself or herself above Jesus?
It is appalling and audacious. Just another day in Obama-land…
When are people going to wake up? Where is the outrage? If George W. Bush had EVER requested something like this when he served as president, would liberals or the MSM have let it rest? Even those who have no interest or respect for others’ religions would have seized this as another golden opportunity to have jumped aboard the “feigned anger boat.”
Here’s one write-up of the story, published by Catholic League:
OBAMA NIXES “JESUS” AT GEORGETOWN

When President Barack Obama spoke at Georgetown University on April 14, the White House requested that all religious symbols and signage that might appear as a backdrop to where the president was to speak be covered up. Georgetown acceded to the request and made sure that the symbol “IHS,” a monogram of the name Jesus Christ, was not in sight.
Catholic League president Bill Donohue spoke to this issue today:
“The cowardice of Georgetown to stand fast on principle tells us more than we need to know about what is going on there, but the bigger story is the audacity of the Obama administration to ask a religious school to neuter itself before the president speaks there. No bishop who might speak at the White House would ever request that a crucifix be displayed behind him. Moreover, the same church and state fanatics who go nuts every time a polling place is set up in the basement of a Catholic school have been noticeably silent over this incident.
“Obama will be speaking at Notre Dame, and receiving an honorary award, on May 17. Will his advance team ask Notre Dame to scrub the campus clean of religious symbols? Or just the ones that might appear behind the podium? Obama is in enough trouble with Catholics—over his pro-abortion executive orders and appointees, his position on embryonic stem cell research and his war on the conscience rights of healthcare workers—that it seems almost suicidal for his administration to push the envelope one more time. This is getting old fast.”

BO figured that if he covered symbols of the Catholic then it would be just a building. He was afraid he would have SEIZURES AND SWEAT A STORM. Every dog has his day in court, its acoming. A devils advocate can put a VEIL SO U CAN NOT hear what has been said. He did not say he was stopping the law he voted 4 of killing the unborn 2 seconds b4 the baby enters this world. IF U PUT LIPSTICK ON A pig IT IS STILL PIG
