Though there was a lot of outrage expressed over someone pulling Obama's prayer out of the Western Wall, I personally figured he'd focus grouped the heck out of it first, knowing someone was going to get hold of it.
Well, it appears I was probably right. In fact, according to the Israeli paper that published Obama's prayer, he, well, from the New Republic:
the Obama campaign actually leaked the note to reporters before Obama even placed it in the wall. Yediot Aharonot, Israel's most popular daily, apparently also received a copy of the note in advance but decided not to print it.
Of course, as we could expect, Obama's campaign now denies the note was "approved for publication." Can we really believe that though? They leak the letter to the media and it is somehow not approved for publication? They aren't, after all, denying that they let it leak in advance. And even if they did, can we believe them now? I doubt it. There is less and less we can believe from Obama's press operation. Like candidate, like staff.
Leftists will do anything to get power.
Of course this opportunistic socialist muslim would strive for the best exposure.
Do you think we can get any traction out of this as a campaign issue?
Hm-m-m-m. Wonder how God feels about prayers designed for political gain.
Not good.
Matt 6:6 “But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.”
Apparently God likes to be fed focus-group tested pablum, just like the Round-Heeled Media...
Which god was Obama praying to? Was it the Hindu “Monkey god” that he says is his favorite god, and he carries one in his pocket? Obama is supposed to get a gold plated “Monkey god” on the day before the Democratic Convention.
Under the throw enough against the wall and some of it will stick theory, it has to be done. The king of the world is certainly leaving enough deposits around.
Go to this link and go to Israel Insider. Halfway down the article you’ll find the new Obama campaign ad, complete with photos of Obama in church, Obama at the wailing wall, the text of his prayer flashing on the screen and beautifully accompanied by “Amazing Grace.” There’s also a request for a donation at the end - “Help Elect Obama!”

Matthew 6
1Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven.
2Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
3But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth:
4That thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father which seeth in secret himself shall reward thee openly.
5And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
6But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.
Screw you, Obama...
But the worse offense was dsiplaying a campaign slogan banner there.
This guy has no clue about international etiquette.
"And when praying, you must not be like the hypocrites. They are fond of standing and praying in the synagogues or at the corners of the wider streets, in order that men may see them. I solemnly tell you that they already have their reward." ...... Matthew 6:5 (Weymouth New Testament Translation)
Dear Barry: I have no idea where you are coming from. Do you worship Me in spirit and in truth or are you still dabbling with Islam? If you believe, you know all prayers and all redemption comes to me by passing through the narrow gate known as my Son. Now, go forth and stop acting like a Messiah, and get thy feces together.
Yours truly, GOD (Order of Saint Benedict)
