Dawn Eden posted on how the "IHS" religious symbol was covered up for Obama's visit to Georgetown University, a supposedly Catholic university. She has "before" and "after" pictures.
NRO has the background story
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....
“In coordinating the logistical arrangements for yesterday’s event, Georgetown honored the White House staff’s request to cover all of the Georgetown University signage and symbols behind Gaston Hall stage,” Julie Green Bataille, associate vice president for communications at Georgetown, told CNSNews.com.
“The White House wanted a simple backdrop of flags and pipe and drape for the speech, consistent with what they’ve done for other policy speeches,” she added. “Frankly, the pipe and drape wasn’t high enough by itself to fully cover the IHS and cross above the GU seal and it seemed most respectful to have them covered so as not to be seen out of context.”
Obviously, it wouldn't be a good idea to have it appear as if the State was endorsing religion.
It's a pity that religion - in the form of a Catholic university allowing Obama to use it as a stage for a "policy speech" - didn't think that it wouldn't be a good idea to appear to be endorsing Caesar.

No, Peter, the left isn't allergic to God or religion. They simply believe themselves to have superseded both.
When that sky cracks open wide, however, they'll think again. I pray they don't take that long.
