In an exclusive statement to The Brody File, The White House says any suggestion that the administration purposely covered a cross and a Catholic religious monogram during President Obama’s speech this week at Georgetown are "simply false."
The White House denies everything when it causes controversy for Mr. Obama. He needs to stop back pedaling and start telling the truth.

The blame lies with the university and the white house. The university should never cover up the emblem if it's something important to the founding of their institution. The white house should never ask the university to cover something that is critical in the founding of the institution. It's a CATHOLIC University for pete's sake! Take some pride in what you're supposed to stand for ND and Georgetown!!!!

One should ask here - What is in a name? The name "Obama" is a name from the Luo ethnic group of southwestern Kenya, where Barack Obama Sr. was born. It was originally the given name of Barack Obama's great-grandfather. It is based on the Luo (technically, Dholuo, the name of the language of the Luo) word bam, which means "crooked, slightly bending" . The prefix O- means "he". Obama >>>>-he who is crooked, slightly bending. Very insightful - don't you think?

rather than vent our frustrations with vile rhetoric and hateful and divisive accusations....knowing all the while it will change nothing...wouldn't a humble and prayerful appeal to the God who created this world be more pro-active ?
The Holy Scriptures direct us to "pray for those in power" ..God allowed this and I am confident that in His scheme of things, all is well under His control. Read your Bible, do what it says, "humble yourself under His mighty hand and He will lift you up"

After watching the tea partys on Fox I was moved. For a long time I thought the USA was going down the road to distruction. Now I have hope, we need to fire all of congress and senate, Next we need term limits so we do not get any more long term idiots such as Kennedy , Polosi, Reed and others running our country into a "Progresive Country'. I checked the other networks and only saw the Obama spin machine at work. Now I remember why I quit watching NBC, CBS, ABC years ago. Thank God for Fox News and internet. Also Glenn Beck's views seem to mirror mine. Keep up the good work Fox News.

When the next protest takes place on July 4, we should take the opportunity to get the word out to the rest of the country about Obama's not being a natural born American citizen. There could be signs, "Obama, show us your records", "Obama, show us your birth certificate"
His lawyers are paid hundreds of thousands of dollars fighting to keep all his records, that might provide a clue to his birthplace, tightly sealed. Occidental College received a subpoena to open his records. Their lawyers contacted Obama's lawyers, who then told the college that if they had to go to court to quash the subpoena,, there would be "monetary damages" assessed against the college. Why? What is Obama hiding?

I think the administration's explanation of the event staging seems reasonable. It would appear that the University holds events like this frequently, which requires the stage to be modified. If you look at the photos before and after the event - religious paintings can be seen in both. If there had been an effort to cover religious symbols, wouldn't these paintings need to be covered as well? I don't see any malicious intent here.

For 30 years I have been a republican and have voted accordingly. In that 30 years I have never seen anything like whats going on today. I'm not sure what the REAL deal is but I know it's bad....VERY BAD! Our govt. is no longer OUR govt..
This govt. (republican and democrat) DOESN'T CARE what we think. It's not just the Democrats and it's not just the Republicans. It's both. While we sit here whining about BO bowing or covering up a cross this gov't is spending TRILLIONS of our hard earned dollars. This govt is going to bankrupt the entire country. They are recommending bankruptcy for GM when GM is in better financial shape than the US govt.! This govt. is deep in debt and their sole source of income (me and you) are out of money.
As of today I am no longer a republican and I won't be a democrat. I AM AN AMERICAN! It's time to stop blaming each other and start working together to THROW THEM ALL OUT ! The "AMERICAN PARTY"" is taking over!!!
