Can't believe we are even considering this guy for President.

The Liar's Prayer

Subsequently, it was reported that a yeshiva student filched the note that Obama placed in the wall and then Maariv published it in the next day's newspaper.

For that "scoop" the paper has come under fire. Yediot Aharonot, the country's most popular daily, published an article Friday saying it had also obtained the note but decided not to publish it, to respect Obama's privacy. Other Israeli media outlets initially ignored the story, or picked it up only after the initial publication had triggered a controversy.

"Lord - Protect my family and me," reads the note.

"Forgive me my sins, and help me guard against pride and despair. Give me the wisdom to do what is right and just. And make me an instrument of your will."

However, it now appears that Maariv had collaborated with the Obama campaign in getting the "private" prayer, with its "modest" supplicaton to the Lord, out to the public, buffing his Christian credentials and showing his "humility."

You conspiracy theorists are so hilarious. Just like the 9/11 wackos, though not quite as entertaining just yet. :rolleyes: :lol:

Israeli Paper: Obama OK’d Prayer Release

Tuesday, July 29, 2008 10:21 AM

The Israeli newspaper Maariv was sharply criticized for publishing the contents of a prayer note Barack Obama left in a crack of Jerusalem’s Western Wall.

But a Maariv spokesman now says that publication of the note was approved ahead of time by the Obama campaign.

Obama was following a centuries-old tradition when he left his note in the Wall during a pre-dawn visit last Thursday. The note began, “Lord — protect my family and me.”

After Obama left the scene, a seminary student removed Obama’s note from the wall and passed it on to Maariv, which published it on Friday.

The rabbi in charge of the Western Wall, Shmuel Rabinovitz, said publishing the note intruded on Obama’s relationship with God, and called the action “sacrilegious” and a “desecration of the holy site.”

But a Maariv spokesman told the Jerusalem Post: "Barack Obama's note was approved for publication in the international media even before he put in the [Western Wall], a short time after he wrote it at the King David Hotel in Jerusalem.”

Obama's campaign did not confirm or deny whether the prayer published by Maariv was in fact written by Obama.

But Israel Insider newsmagazine observed: “If the Maariv statement about pre-approval of publication of the note is true, it would mean that the Obama campaign had managed the event brilliantly, if deceptively, getting the double benefit of appearing to be victimized by the invasive Israeli press and [a] prayer-thieving Jew while at the same time leaking out his humble Christian plea to the Lord.”
