Are you ready for the latest outrage from the right..

Jesus Missing From Obama's Georgetown Speech White House asked university to cover symbol

A symbol of Jesus was apparently blacked out behind President Barack Obama during his Georgetown speech.


Amidst all of the American flags and presidential seals, there was something missing when President Barack Obama gave an economic speech at Georgetown University this week -- Jesus.


The White House asked Georgetown to cover a monogram symbolizing Jesus' name in Gaston Hall, which Obama used for his speech, according to CNSNews.com.

The gold "IHS" monogram inscribed on a pediment in the hall was covered over by a piece of black-painted plywood, and remained covered over the next day, CNSNews.com reported.

This is the post I left in the comments section:

Oh for the love of all that is Holy.. If Obama or his people had left that behind him while giving the speech, then it would be posted everywhere that he was trying to be a Messiah. Get a grip

The Repukes are just extra loud. It's the wailing and gnashing of teeth stage. An "extinction burst". Nothing more. The party is in its death throes. :rofl:

3. Yep. Upstaging Jesus or some such nonsense.
They will whine about everything. I guess we'll hear it no matter what happens.

8. Yet "EPL" says "Obama doesn't like the competiton. He is the new Messiah after all... God help us."
That crowd is spinning this every way you can imagine.

13. Ah, so that's what Buchanan was yammering about
I heard him on Hannity's show. Some outrage about a "monogram". Didn't hear the beginning.
