(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.

Otlichno! Yesterday’s rally was great stuff! Now I am back at work with sore feet and legs. What’s new with you?
You forgot wooden stakes, can't have those lying around either!
Jesuits at Georgetown = cringing, cowardly appeasers
Sad, isn’t it?
I am ashamed to see Catholic institutions bowing down to this piece of drek.
Lutheran,too. It’s even a chrismon they put on the Christmas tree.
You are so right. It is now official — Obama IS the AntiChrist.
Really aggravates me that Obama would want it hidden from view. You can bet he wouldn't ask a mosque to hide its symbols.
I just read the article about this on Drudge and was shocked. Shocked that they would agree to do it also.
When did you videotape Zer0?
“What about him using Jesus’ parable about the wise man who built his house on the rock in his speech?”
The Devil’s first trick in the Garden was to slightly misquote and mislead using God’s words.
The Devil repeated this trick (at least once, maybe all three times, I’d have to go crack Matthew) with the Temptation of Christ after Christ’s time in the wilderness.
It doesn’t surprise me that a liberal (or a potential anti-Christ) would abuse God’s words to sell a liberal program. They’ve been mis-using “He who is without sin cast the first stone” as an excuse for license for sin forever.
Indeed, on the topic on potential anti-Christ, the first thing that came to mind with the Obamanation’s misuse of the “build your house on the rock” speech was Obama was telling people to build their house on him/secular government, instead of Christ.
From Jesus in Greek ΙΗΣΟΥΣ (Greek Letters: Iota-Eta-Sigma ).
Ironically, the mural which would have been above and to the left of Obama also identifies Christ in Greek letters:
Gaston mural "Faith": The Bible opened "Alpha and Omega"
"Brother Schroen drew heavily on classical allegory in his work: “I have always planned to have every figure mean something. It must be symbolic even to the smallest scroll.” In Gaston, the crests of sixty Jesuit colleges and universities from around the world decorate the ceiling line. At either end of the stage wall, the painted figures of Athena and a classically draped male, accompanied by the phrases, mens sana and in corpore sano, respectively, represent the Jesuit precept of a sound mind in a sound body. But the central focus of the stage wall and, indeed, the Hall are the two large murals above the stage. These depict, to the left, Morality, Faith (holding a book displaying the Greek letters alpha and omega) and Patriotism, and, to the right, Art, Alma Mater, and Science..."
I think I'm more upset at Georgetown for *agreeing to cover it* than for B.O. asking them to do it!!!!
Bubba said “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall inherit the earth”.
Pissed off a lot of people (Was in a hospital waiting room) when my thoughts blurted out. Said something like “I am not surprised at how he twisted that verse, these people are neither meek nor children of God.”
Good post!!
[Shocked that they would agree to do it also.]
I agree with you, that’s what I meant when I wrote that above.
Yes! His "We're not a Christian Nation" is shining through clearly!
