Turns out "IHS" is something totally different from Jesus...
I called the Rev. Thomas Reese, a senior fellow at the Woodstock Institute at Georgetown University, who was at the speech, as to what he thought.
“It is more for camera quality than anything else,” he surmised. “They don’t want distractions that would make the eye wander. I don’t think this is motivated by theology, but by communications strategy.”
I would agree. It’s been said if you look into a cobra’s eyes, you’re dead. Once you look into their eyes, you become frozen, and they kill you. Much like once you look into Obama’s eyes, the powers that be (whatever they are), have you mentally ‘frozen’. Frankly, your soul may be in peril at that point - not just your life.
Mockery, how Jim Jones of him.
So many anti-christs, so little time.
All I want to know is... Did the press office specifically ask for the dais to be covered, or if they did it on their own? When (during the intro), the camera got that high, did you not have stained glass windows? Shall I not believe my eyes on the pics I have of him in front of the light up cross and other pulpits (inc. Pfleger’s, don’t get me started)? What did he ask to be removed at the Blue Mosque? I wouldn’t be surprised if Doug Kmiec himself asked Georgetown to cover the Holy Name.
Did you see this?

As a commenter points out (same applies to Condi and others who spoke there), that Laura Bush spoke re: US/Afghan Women with muslims there... no covering.
As Father Benedict said on the mystery of vocations, “No one lives the Christian life perfectly. In my life, I’ve known dumb Jesuits, confused Dominicans, proud Capuchins, rich Franciscans, and Salesians who can’t stand small children! I’ve known merciless Sisters of Mercy and uncharitable Missionaries of Charity and foolish Daughters of Wisdom.”
How in the world does "IHS" symbolize Jesus?
Turns out "IHS" is something totally different from Jesus...
Shame on them.
Here is what came to my mind.....
Psa 11:3 if the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do?”
After reading his staff’s logic of this speech, in the WSJ article,

it is clear the whole thing is cockeyed goofy thinking, and he will end up destroying this country, if God allows it.....
Everything with him is opposite day and alternate universe, evil is good and good, evil....bitter is sweet and sweet, bitter....
