Even Obama Won't Last Forever

What Did the First Commandment Say Again,...?

Here's the reminder:


The 10 commandments come from Exodus 20:1-17. Here is the verse:

And God spoke all these words, saying: "I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.

1. You shall have no other gods before me.


That said:


In compliance with a White House request, Georgetown University covered all signs and symbols — including the initials of Jesus — before President Barack Obama spoke there on Tuesday. Georgetown offered no apologies for shrouding its Catholic identity during the speech.

The Cardinal Newman Society, a national Catholic education organization, expressed disappointment in the school.

During Mr. Obama’s speech, the IHS monogram, which symbolizes the name of Jesus, was covered with black-painted plywood. The monogram adorns the stage at Gaston Hall where Mr. Obama spoke about the economy.


So, when the Obamistake meets with His Holiness, will he require Benedict to remove all vestiges of his office in the Holy See, too?
