Obama comes, Jesus goes at Georgetown






President Obama delivered an economic policy speech at the Jesuit University of Georgetown, the Whitehouse brought its own "set" for the speech and demanded the sacred monagram "IHS" was covered up with plywood on the pediment behind the President.
Being a Jesuit foundation there was no objection.

Karen, a little strong for us English.

Who in their right mind would dare do such a thing? These people must be out of their minds. Even if your faith was weak you would never do that. May God have mercy on Georgetown.

The Jesuits nowadays serves "Mammon" not God.

Well, you know us right wing gun nuts. Seriously, I hope gravity forgets about this anti-Christ.

What does it say about these Jesuits and what does it say about Obama?

Since Obama doesn't want to upset anyone, when is he going to have the masonic symbols taken off the dollar bills? And since these images are taken from the Great Seal of the United States of America, is Obama going to insist on a new design for that as well? The present one could offend some people.

That is pretty disgraceful. But then it would have been awful to have him preaching with IHS just above his head too. Maybe it means he's realised he's not actually the Messiah? Best if he just didn't come I reckon...

What a pathetic US president, frightened of the letters IHS, mind you so he should be, what makes you think he is working hand in hand with the evil one just another pawn for him to play with. That's no doubt who made sure he was elected. Looks like something out of a horror movie, next we will have the baphomet or pentagram cut into the lawns at the White House.

Obviously Obama and Blair are to team up filled with the smoke of Satan and Pope Benedict must step aside because he is an old fogey committed to the Truth of the Gospel and not the CRap spun by BLIAR and his ilk.

At least Obama's organisers knew that IHS was a religious symbol! Would Gordon Brown's people realise what it meant?
