Jesus Missing From Obama's Georgetown Speech


Remember all the teeth gnashing just a couple years ago over Ashcroft covering a statue? I wonder how those same people will look at this incident...

Anyway, I don't much care that they "generic" things for speeches, but come on now - you knew where you were going so if you don't like the background - speak somewhere else or get taller pipes and curtains...or just don't have it somewhere that has symbols that offend you or you don't want photographed with.

If by teeth gnashing you mean guffaws at uber-modesty, then yeah.

The president of the country not wanting to seem to elevate a particular religion by giving a policy speech with a religious symbol over his shoulder, slightly different.

But hey, nuance was never much use to some people.

And frankly, I don't give a shit if the statue was in the background. He's a muslim so Christ was just another dude to him, right?

If he was so worried about it why not speak at a public institution?

Sure you want to take that path? Do you remember your comments about the Ashcroft thing? ;)
No but I'm sure to make some kind of lame ass point you're willing to take the time and look them up.

I don't know that he was consulted, I have a feeling the staff takes care of these things. As I said, I wouldn't have been "offended" and the effort at covering up anything is kinda dumb. I just pointed out it was for a different reason that covering the naughtie boobies :)

Somehow if Jesus Christ came to back to earth, I somewhat suspect he would be more groosed out over the views of CadsortaGuy than the views of Obama.

I wonder if Obama would ask a Muslim country to do the same thing while visiting and giving a speech? I seriously doubt it. Can Obama be any more of a douchebag here? You get invited to speak at a Catholic University and you ask them to cover up the very things the University was founded on? Giving a speech has nothing to do with separation of church and state.. this is nothing but an arrogant and bigoted move by Obama. If he has such a problem with it he shouldn't have spoken there at all.

Apologize to the Muslims and make Catholics cover up their religious symbols. Nice 'change' Mr. President.

I, frankly, am mad as hell. Think of all the good jokes that could have been had if only Obama (teh messiah) was giving a speech in front of the word 'Jesus.' It was faux rage gold!

It's getting amusing to see how every (illogical, blithering ranting) point the right makes now is required to use the word change sarcastically. It's like a template.

How is my attitude any different than yours which is to swoon over everything Obama does not matter how damaging to the country it is?

Its going to be tough for you guys when the Republicans take back a bunch of seats in Congress in 2 years and the Whitehouse in 4. This is going to seem like nothing then. :)

I suspect Jesus would say things like STOP aborting children, STOP taking drugs, STOP borrowing more than you make, etc. I also think he would point to conservatives and say stop doing a lot of things as well. I think we would all be in a world of hurt.

If Obama keeps up his douchebaggery they might not have to. Remember Bush beat the democrats.. twice.
