Can we get a big Obama poster to cover up Touchdown Jesus while he's at Notre Dame?

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.”

What a large oversized POS this guy is.
Clinton looks like a Boy Scout in comparison.(sorry,no offense intended to the BS of A.)
And just when are the Catholics going to respond?
Or has the sphere of the state so replaced God’s overarching sovereignty that the church is more afraid of it than God?
What is he, a Muslim, or something?
“What is he, a Muslim, or something?”
When asked for a response, Obama said “this is not the Jesus I knew...”
Does ANYONE need any more proof that Baraq Hussein mohammed 0bama (aka Barry Soetoro) is a muslim through and through?
What annoys me is how he still has so many religious people fooled. This, the infanticide, the abortion support, the tacit approval for gay marriage even though he pretends otherwise...you’d think it would get to them. But nope.
> And just when are the Catholics going to respond?
If I had to guess, there is One higher than even the Pope himself whose right it is to respond. And if He does, Obama had best watch out; for He, whose right of response it is, is not mocked.
I don't know where you've been for the past couple of days but THIS Catholic and many more like me have responded here on FR and other Catholics have also responded everywhere else in the media.
BTW, are you a Catholic?
That's what I thought. LOL
My opinion is that 0bama IS the response.
If you read how God punished Israel in the past, 0bama fits the bill.

We already spoke about this sorry business yesterday, but Bill Donohue certainly has a clear and succinct way of putting it. On target.
Yes. I wouldn’t think any serious Protestant would have been pleased, when he never even mentioned the word “Jesus” once in his talk, but quoted the Sermon on the Mount with the suggestion that building upon a foundation of rock instead of sand meant letting the government handle it.
Any more questions?
Guess not. Well, then I'm off to lunch.
Good day!
I hope you are wrong, but in case you are right, the last two verses of one of my favorite poems springs to mind:
"...If, drunk with sight of power, we loose
Wild tongues that have not Thee in awe--
Such boasting as the Gentiles use
Or lesser breeds without the law--
Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet,
Lest we forget - lest we forget!
"For heathen heart that puts her trust
In reeking tube and iron shard--
All valiant dust that builds on dust,
And guarding, calls not Thee to guard--
For frantic boast and foolish word,
Thy mercy on Thy people, Lord!"
--Rudyard Kipling, Recessional
God Bless America

“And just when are the Catholics going to respond?”
Would that include the 75% of so-called Catholics who voted for Zero?/s
Zero’s odious positions on moral issues were known from the very beginning of his campaign. Reminds me of those Germans who voted for Hitler and after the war claimed not to understand what he was all about...
Yep, and I spoke directly to the secretary of the president of Georgetown this a.m.
