Georgetown going Notre Dame?

I don’t have a problem with the president giving an economic talk at a Catholic University, it was certainly not inappropriate for Georgetown to welcome him for his speech but I do object to this:

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.

National Review is not impressed.

What was that verse?

Everyone who acknowledges me before others I will acknowledge before my heavenly Father. But whoever denies me before others, I will deny before my heavenly Father.Matt 10:32-33

You know the more I read about Catholic Colleges the better Fitchburg State keeps looking.

Update: There can be only one!

Update 2: Don Surber notices and more importantly (Sorry Don) does Drudge.

Update 3: The Green Room notices and asks…

Imagine if Obama were to give a speech at the Islamic Center of Washington, DC. Would members of that community approve the covering of the Shahada?

…so Janet Napolitano can be assured that those potential terrorists are neutralized.

I am very disgusted.

They are talking a bit on tea parties

7:08 a.m. Suddenly Bernie Goldberg is quotable on MSNBC.

7:12 a.m. “I don’t think he hates America, I just think he’s wrong.”

7:14 a.m. “We weren’t against wasting money for the past 7 years but now it’s ok.” I’ll say the same thing I said at the tea party yesterday. I think this is a lot like Roosevelt, I think he let a lot of things through to assure support for the war.

7:20 a.m. Napotaliano will be on this show that should be interesting

7:21 a.m. Andrea Mitchel is on, lucky for me I haven’t eaten yet.

7:24 a.m. Mexico should not be a poor nation, they have resources and a ton of advantages, if the country wasn’t so corrupt it could be as successful as the US.

7:25 a.m. I will hold my angry Napolitano post till after this interview. Joe asks about the report.

7:26 a.m. Apparently we are misreading the report we don’t want to infringe on anyone’s rights. I don’t see any retraction concerning troops, she brings up McVey says she has vets in her department. It sounds a lot like …”Hey some of my best friends are…”

7:28 a.m. Apparently there were conditions on this interview, Joe and Mika doesn’t like it.

7:31 a.m. “A 19 year old kid being shot at in Bagdad is going to be thinking that his government doesn’t trust him.”

7:46 a.m. 10 10 10 that = 30

8:03 a.m. Mika throws in a dig about being allowed to ask only one question on that subject.

8:07 a.m. An appropriate cover considering the Tea Party stuff

8:22 a.m. King ducks the Coleman question but on Napolitano, noted that she didn’t want to use the word terrorist about Al-Queda but was willing to use the term for abortion opponents and troops.

8:24 a.m. He gives props to the Democratic chairman for calling her on it. And we should give him props.

8:25 a.m. “She has never put out a report saying looking out for Mosques.”

8:31 a.m. In case you wonder why I watch Morning Joe this is why, it is the voice crying out in the wilderness of MSNBC.

8:32 a.m. Too bad they didn’t have that shot when we had the protest yesterday, or maybe they did and I was in the traffic jam on the way. (nasty traffic on the way to Boston Yesterday)

8:38 a.m. Stiglitz goes after treasury and points out the robbery of all this.

8:49 a.m. Kathie Lee talks about Courtney’s ovulation. Mika is cracking up.

8:59 a.m. What has Joe learned today? Who is ovulating.
