(CNSNews.com) - Georgetown University says it covered over the monogram “IHS”--symbolizing the name of Jesus Christ—because it was inscribed on a pediment on the stage where President Obama spoke at the university on Tuesday and the White House had asked Georgetown to cover up all signs and symbols there.

As of Wednesday afternoon, the “IHS” monogram that had previously adorned the stage at Georgetown’s Gaston Hall was still covered up--when the pediment where it had appeared was photographed by CNSNews.com.

They covered the name of Jesus and bowed to a false idol.

Will ND have to cover up “Touchdown Jesus” when he goes there?

It’s OK, Jesus doesn’t believe in Obama, so they’re even...

This keeps getting scarier for “Catholic” colleges. I believe Jesus said if you deny Him, He will deny you to the Father. See you later, Georgetown!

He might be, yet.

I used to think that was tin-foil hat territory, but little things: (1) slip up on the oath with the Bible (OK without it); (2) bowing to Saudi king; (3) refusing to share the stage with a symbol of Christ.

All on top of: (1) the weird cult following he has; (2) his clearly evil policies re: Israel, abortion, sodomy; and (3) his attendance at a anti-Jewish, hate-spewing, church, etc.

It’s adding up.

Hmmm did they have to cover all the mirrors and crucifixes? How about removing all the Holy Water from the receptacles in the chapel lest some fall on his skin and begin burning.

I don’t think he’s the anti-christ, but I do believe he is a warm-up act for the real thing.

Perhaps just a touchup showing “incomplete” would be more appropo

Let's take a wild guess since most Americans would not have known what IHS stands for. They didn't want to offend any Muslims because of the cross on top?

In a related story, he asked that all mirrors, garlic, holy water, crucifixes, Bibles, and blessed objects be removed...since "the One" gets a little anxious and nervous around such Catholic regalia.

This would have made a great episode of Kolchak: the Night Stalker.

If Obama goes whoring for votes in black churches will all symbols of Christianity have to be covered there also?

These people are obsessive control freaks, a typical characteristic of all leftists. They’ll control every aspect of our lives they are allowed to control.
