This was brought to my attention by one of our members. So I thought, since it's Sunday I would post this article, along with the photos, so everyone can see WHAT we have in the oval office.
After this stunt the usurper has pulled -- I'm wondering what St. Peter's gonna say when THAT ONE gets to the Pearly Gates? Watcha think??? Entry? No entry?

Georgetown Says It Covered Over Name of Jesus to Comply With
White House Request

(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.

"In coordinating the logistical arrangements for yesterday's event, Georgetown honored the White House staff's request to cover all of the Georgetown University signage and symbols behind Gaston Hall stage," Julie Green Bataille, associate vice president for communications at Georgetown, told CNSNews.com.
"The White House wanted a simple backdrop of flags and pipe and drape for the speech, consistent with what they've done for other policy speeches," she added. "Frankly, the pipe and drape wasn't high enough by itself to fully cover the IHS and cross above the GU seal and it seemed most respectful to have them covered so as not to be seen out of context."

On Wednesday, CNSNews.com inspected the pediment embedded in the wall at the back of the stage in Gaston Hall, where Obama delivered his speech. The letters "IHS" were not to be found. They appeared to be shrouded with a triangle of black-painted plywood.
Pictures of the wooden pediment prior to Obama's speech show the letters "IHS" in gold. Many photos posted on the Internet of other events at Gaston Hall show the letters clearly.
The White House did not respond to a request from CNSNews.com to comment on the covering up of Jesus' name at Gaston Hall.

Georgetown, which is run by the Jesuit order, is one of the most prestigious Catholic institutions of higher education in the United States.
Roman Catholics traditionally use "IHS" as an abbreviation for Jesus' name. According to the Catholic Encyclopedia, "St. Ignatius of Loyola adopted the monogram in his seal as general of the Society of Jesus (1541) and thus became the emblem of his institute." The Society of Jesus is the formal name for the Jesuits.

Although
the monogram was covered over on the wooden pediment at the back of
the Gaston Hall stage where it would have been directly above and
behind President Obama as he spoke, the letters "IHS" are posted
elsewhere around the hall approximately 26 times on shields
representing different parts of the United States and the world.
Obama did not mention the name of Jesus during his address. However, he did mention Christ's Sermon on the Mount.
"There is a parable at the end of the Sermon on the Mount that tells a story of two men...'the rain descended and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house...it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock,'" Obama said.
"We cannot rebuild this economy on the same pile of sand," he added. "We must build our house upon a rock."

There is no Jesus, only Allah. Unless someone actually still believes Barry isn't Muslim.
Our Lord-Jesus(God) one and the same as written in our bible. Since everything in D.C has his name on the buildings maybe we use God? In my life in the U.S.A don't know the other name you speak of at the moment. And hope and pray I never do.
Respectfully,
JBH
Well if he isn't Muslim, then he has to be a foot soldier of satan to be so repulsed at the symbolism of Jesus.
Either that or he was scared that one of his followers might just realize he is NOT the " Messiah"
Of all of the Catholic orders I never thought I'd see cave in, it was the Jesuits. All the fuss over Notre Dame, and we missed THIS??!!!
Apalling. Just appalling.
Bott I agree that it is appauling beyond words that the the Jezuits even agreed to cover these symbols.
I think this calls for a call to action, demanding that no Church or College accomodate this Usurpers request to cover any image of Jesus. If he is so repulsed by Jesus, then he should not go there. Let him go to Mosque where he will feel most comfortable.
I hope the Pope cleans his clock, if they ever meet. Maybe the Pope needs to know about this.
The pope needs to have words with lots of folks. I'm thinking he needs to start with the priests. I know the Catholic church is the biggest socialistic organization on the planet, but this is just too much!
Please don't throw things at the computer: I'm Catholic. I'm stating the truth, not slamming a religion.
