SNIPPET: "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."
SNIPPET: "Roman Catholics traditionally use “IHS” as an abbreviation for Jesus’ name."
SNIPPET: "Although the monogram was removed from the wooden pediment on 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."

The zero wanted it changed to BHO.
Obama didn’t want to be photographed with the symbol for Christ showing in the picture. We know why. But what is Georgetown’s excuse?
And even if Obama were an overt muslim instead of a closet case, what is Georgetown’s excuse for ever, ever covering a symbol of Jesus?
Somebody please throw a shoe at this poseur.
Who writes this stuff for CBS—a three-year-old? IHS stands for In Hoc Signum, by or in this sign, the sign being the cross, or the crossed letters of Chi (”X”), Rho (our “P”), the first two Greek letters of the word Christ.”
IHS are the first three letters of Jesus in Greek. It’s on Eastern Icons, which use Greek. Iota Eta Sigma.
WHY? This sounds VERY weird.
No, "the White House" will ask them to display it on armbands.
Incorrect.
The motto of the Jesuit order is AMDG: Ad Maiorem Dei Gloriam, usually translated “To the greater glory of God.”
Which God is that, I wonder, at Georgetown? The Christian God? Allah? Or maybe some kind of interchangeable god?
The article concludes that Obama never mentioned the name of Jesus in his speech, but he did quote from the Sermon on the Mount:
“We cannot rebuild this economy on the same pile of sand,” he added. “We must build our house upon a rock.”
Now, what do we suppose Obama meant by “rock”? The usual understanding is that the rock Jesus refers to is Himself, the Son of God. But the way Obama uses it, either he means the Federal Government or he means none other than himself, as the head of that government.
Hmm. Talk about messiah complexes. And the Jesuits of Georgetown are aiding and abetting Obama’s appropriation and misuse of the Bible.
Then Georgetown, a Catholic university, should have said no, since it has none to offer. Every building has signs of the cross.
If it was a muslim symbol would he asked to cover it up??
Not in this case.
SHAME on Georgetown University!
Well, I guess I can understand why a Kenyan-born Muslim like Dumbo might not want...
No, actually I can’t undertsand this...
