Obama Requires That The Cross Be Covered, But Not Yassir Arafat's Portrait

That's right. In 2009, when Barack Obama delivered a speech at Catholic Georgetown University, he demanded that all Christian symbolism be covered. But when he spoke in Ramallah yesterday, he did so with an enormous photograph of venomous Jew-hater and terrorist Yasser Arafat.

No problem.

Recall that in April, 2009, deferring to White House "request," Georgetown University covered up religious symbols significant to Christians everywhere.  This so that the Oracle could harangue without those symbols "distracting" his audience. With thoughts of anything but him, of course.


Yet today, in a press conference in Ramallah, the peace-prize-winning One spoke before an overlarge banner of Yasser Arafat the Sordid.  And this somehow, it seems, without throwing his audience off even the least little bit.
