Obama's messianic jargon hits 'rock' bottom ...and G'town removes the Holy Name (Ecumenical)
Dawn Patrol Blog ^ | 4/14/2009 | Dawn Eden

At Georgetown University today, while sitting in the press section at Gaston Hall awaiting the arrival of President Obama for a "major address" on economics, I overheard a reporter discussing the advance text of the speech.

The reporter said that senior presidential adviser David Axelrod had compared Obama during his European trip to one planting seeds for a harvest. Along the same lines, he noted, in today's speech, Obama was set to use another Gospel analogy: that of the "house built upon a rock."

And so it came to pass, beneath Gaston Hall's beautiful painting of Morality, Faith, and Patriotism, with gold letters on the wall behind him spelling the Jesuit motto "Ad majorem Dei gloriam"—"To the greater glory of God"—Obama shared his prosperity gospel at the nation's oldest Catholic university.

But there was one thing missing: Jesus' name.

I'm not just talking about Obama's failing to mention Jesus—though he did pointedly fail to mention the name of the One—that is, for him, the other "One"—who first told the "parable" he shared.

No, Jesus' very name, in the form of the ancient monogram IHS, which had been in gold lettering on the wooden archway above Gaston Hall's dais, was painted over prior to Obama's arrival. Apparently, the Name that is above every other name is not permitted to be above Obama.

The photo [above] shows the archway "before." You can see the "after" clearly in C-SPAN's video, as Georgetown President John DeGioia emerges to give his fawning introduction....

(I became aware of the cover-up after the speech, when it was pointed out by pro-life advocate Larry Cirignano in an e-mail forwarded to me. Whether Georgetown University initiated it or did it at the request of the White House is unknown at this time.)

Hey Notre Dame. You’re going to have a Touchdown Jesus problem.

Blasphemy. It gets close to the “Obamanation of Desolation.”

I can’t believe that Georgetown allowed this to happen.

Is there a one-shot “after?” I couldn’t bear to listen to His Fascist Ugliness in the video, so I never saw whatever it was that had been done.

You can see it at the beginning of the video when Obama is being introduced.

Wow. “Yo’mamma”’s blasphemy is just amazing.

I am willing to bet, however, that the WH will spin this (if anyone picks it up) as they painted over it so no one would think the IHS was about Obama.

Don’t give up HOPE!

He’s renaming “Notre Dame” (Our Lady) to “Notre Obame”

They need until May to change all the signs: Change we can believe in.

No, Jesus' very name, in the form of the ancient monogram IHS, which had been in gold lettering on the wooden archway above Gaston Hall's dais, was painted over prior to Obama's arrival.

The University should be stipped of its status as a Catholic insitution ... period.

If you are genuinely surprised by this, you are obviously unfamiliar with Georgetown. (That’s not a criticism, by the way.)

They’re Jesuits — an entirely different breed of Catholics.
