I think that they went a bit overboard as far as covering up the IHS.Perhaps if it was a muslim symbol then Obama would have been all for it or mayby something Islamic in nature.He seems to have a pention for muslim and Islamic things

to cm4297:  You say you are tired of Christians not carrying the cross - well it is proven that conservative christians give more to charities than others.  I would call that walking the walk.  While some liberals talk the talk but do nothing else.  You see I said some unlike you who paint a broad judgmental brush against others.  There is nothing wrong with symbols as long as they are backed up with actions.  It was disrespectful to go a Christian College and then ask for a symbol to be covered up.  All he had to do was go to a secular school if he wanted no Christian Symbols.  I don't know if you believe in respecting others.  I do and again that is part of walking the walk.  

This may have been just as simple as the Obama White House said they just wanted a plain backdrop. The problem is this White House has already showed a penchant for lying and promise breaking. The he did not bow incident, the about face on small business captial gains, his statement we are not a Christian nation, the no lobbyists in my administration lie and on and on it goes already 50 broken campaign promises. Can't we get some honest politicians? It is time for term limits and automatic removal from office for outright lying in public, certainly for lying under oath and other immoral activities adultery etc.. WE wonder why our nation is fracturing and crumbling before our eyes look at the examples we set for our children. If we want people to be honest and demonstrate integrity and moral behavior then we all must walk the walk.
