The problem here is not Obama asking but rather the school giving in to his request. Christians do not deny Christ for any reason. Personally, I will let God sort the believers from the non-believers.

Remember about 9 months ago when the "American Idol Candidate" pranced around Israel wearing a Yamaca? Oh, I forgot...that was all about voting.
What the he*l he has against the Catholic church is incredible. May they stand firm in their theology. We in America used to stand for the protection of all of our citizens, including the beginning of a person's life (the embryo does have a unique human identifier, it's DNA).
And obama wants to stoke the hate toward Bush for terroism?
To the viable infant in a woman's womb who has it's skull crushed and is murdered, Obama, Sebelius, Pelosi, NARAL, and all others who support late term abortion are the TERRORISTS ! ! ! ! ! !

I intend to contact Georgetown University to remind them that it is a Catholic institution and nobody has the right to request the covering of Catholic symbols. Nobody includes the President of the United States. If the Whitehouse had wanted a neutral background, university officials should have held the event elsewhere on campus.

No, I do not think that Obama is the anti-christ. BUT as a parent who has sent a son through a Jesuit prep school and now a Jesuit University, I can't say exactly how disappointed I am in the Jesuits for giving in to this. Everyone knows that Georgetown is a religious University. My heart is saddened by this lack of doing the right thing and living the Faith.

MAKE SURE when Obama speaks on stage at Notre Dame's Graduation Ceremony , that he is SURROUNDED BY CROSSES and OTHER Catholic SYMBOLS, If the Notre Dame President does this, I'll forgive him! What would be the worse that would happen? Obama not speaking?
Has anyone read the book "Left Behind" by Tim LaHaye and Jerry B. Jenkins? It was published in 1995 and even though its fiction, its bible based prophecy and Obama sounds chillingly similar to the "leader" in the book, Nicolae Carpathia. It sent chills down my spine recalling some of the similarities beteween the two. I'm going to read it again. I wonder if anyone else who has read it has thought similarly?

This move was so blatantly obvious. He chooses to make his speech of the foolish man building his house upon the sand, referring to our founding Fathers and their principals (judeo-christian principals) of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Our Nation built on the backbone of our rock, even the Saviour of the World Jesus Christ. Only he has the power to save us. Yet BO covers the IHS symbol of Jesus Christ and uses a parable of holy scripture from the Bible to further his far left radical movement to further confine the masses and indoctrinate the brainwashed that no longer can we follow the foolishness of our Founding Fathers, the constitution, a free market enterprise of capitalism based on individual liberties, properties and intellect. We are a danger to our very selves, the collective society and the earth at large. So we must move forward with a new world order and build our new order on the rock our Govt.

Inquired from (D) Sen Herb Kohl Wisconsin as to this fact and here is what I got back
"On December 5, 2008, the United States
Supreme Court considered Donofrio v. Wells, a case questioning
President Obama's citizenship, in conference. The Justices voted
not to hear this case, making it the second case related to
President-elect Obama's citizenship that the Supreme Court
refused to hear. The first, Berg v. Obama, was rejected at
conference on November 3, 2008."
For the President of the United States Of America his back ground should have been investigated and not sealed! They are hiding something Big!

If BO desn't want to be assoicated with a Christian symbol he shouldn't be speaking at a Catholic university. Asking a Catholic university to cover up a Christian symbol isn't reasonable. Georgetown should have revoked their invitation as should Notre Dame. BO is showing a huge lack of respect for Christians in general and Catholics in particular, nor is he very intelligent. He will go down in history as the worst president EVER.

At the rate that Obama is taking over, I don't think we will have a nation left by 2012, at least not the one that our ancestors fought and died for. There were three TEA Parties in my area; the one in my town (about 300), one 10 miles down the road, and another across the line in Maryland. All of these rallies were attended by young, old, and just plain ordinary citizens who love their country. We sang two patriotic songs, had a prayer, and various speeches. I am proud to say that my two Republican state delegates were there with one speaking about our Democratic governor who has succeeded in legislating a Job Tax, not that we aren't taxed enough.
I am disappointed in the two Catholic universities essentially turning their backs on God. Although I am protestant, I have admired the Catholics for their stands. Has everyone gone crazy or is this the beginning of the end? I have ended a friendship because of my her far-left stance. My God and my country come first.

I have the same concern, can we make it to 2012 before he does destroy all the integrity of our country. I agree with all the comments above, I think a lot of people are taking notice and realize this is not right, we have good people in our country, we don't always see eye to eye, but God didn't make us to be alike or even think alike, we are all unique and have our talents, skills, and levels of intelligence that blend and make us great as a nation. We are one nation, of all colors of people and it is the radical left that keeps bringing up the race-card and creating a division. This has nothing to do with the color of Obama's skin, this has to be do with his policies and the direction he is taking our country, this is what has our attention!

At the rate that Obama is taking over, I don't think we will have a nation left by 2012, at least not the one that our ancestors fought and died for. There were three TEA Parties in my area; the one in my town (about 300), one 10 miles down the road, and another across the line in Maryland. All of these rallies were attended by young, old, and just plain ordinary citizens who love their country. We sang two patriotic songs, had a prayer, and various speeches. I am proud to say that my two Republican state delegates were there with one speaking about our Democratic governor who has succeeded in legislating a Job Tax, not that we aren't taxed enough.
I am disappointed in the two Catholic universities essentially turning their backs on God. Although I am protestant, I have admired the Catholics for their stands. Has everyone gone crazy or is this the beginning of the end? I have ended a friendship because of my her far-left stance. My God and my country come first.

I have the same concern, can we make it to 2012 before he does destroy all the integrity of our country. I agree with all the comments above, I think a lot of people are taking notice and realize this is not right, we have good people in our country, we don't always see eye to eye, but God didn't make us to be alike or even think alike, we are all unique and have our talents, skills, and levels of intelligence that blend and make us great as a nation. We are one nation, of all colors of people and it is the radical left that keeps bringing up the race-card and creating a division. This has nothing to do with the color of Obama's skin, this has to be do with his policies and the direction he is taking our country, this is what has our attention!

Any university that welcomes Obama's reckless veiws should lose all alumni contributions.Stand up america, this man does not represent we the people.His agenda is to apologize to every nation on this planet.For what? A meek clown we all can beleive in.

The Catholic church wants people to join them but with this type of action at Georgetown and Notre Dame they will have a hard time convincing people to join the church. I want a religion that is not afraid to stand up for what they believe in and not afraid to show off their religion.

You people need to look at the polls. President Obama has not done one thing that has cost him support from his base in eastern United States.
Maybe Governor Perry is right. Its time for new nation to be formed. Why continue to argue with easterners who support high taxes to support a nanny state made up of unions and government workers.

There is NOTHING that BHO could do that would cost him support from the blind lemmings that follow him. He could do anything and you'd make an excuse and support him because he's a dem. On the other side of the coin you automatically despise republicans because they have R next to their name. It's pure indoctrination.
