Lawyer seeks probe into publication of note Obama put in the Western Wal

[Wretched Excess]

remember that wonderful, touching prayer that The BarackStar! put in the western wall?  well, it turns
out that it was more of an official campaign press release.

I snipped out earlier paragraphs so I could include the "money quote" that was the penultimate paragraph.

Lawyer seeks police probe into removal, publication of note Obama put in the Western Wall

A Jerusalem lawyer petitioned the attorney general Sunday asking him to order a police investigation into the removal and subsequent publication of a personal note left in a crack of the Western Wall by U.S. presidential candidate Barack Obama during his visit to Israel last week.

The presidential hopeful visited the Western Wall, Judaism's holiest site, at the end of a two-day visit to the region on Thursday. It is believed that requests written on notes and placed between the holy stones of the Western Wall, also known as the Wailing Wall, will be granted by God.

Attorney Shahar Alon asked attorney General Menachem Mazuz to launch an investigation against the editor of Israeli daily Ma'ariv, who published the content of the note last week.

Obama reportedly wrote in the note "Lord - protect my family and me. Forgive 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."

Ma'ariv issued a response Sunday, saying that "Obama's note was published in Ma'ariv and other international publications following Obama's authorization to make the content of the note public. Obama submitted a copy of the note to media outlets when he left his hotel in Jerusalem. Moreover, since Obama is not Jewish, there is no violation of privacy as there would be for a Jewish person who places a note in the Western Wall."

Read the end of the story in the link, clearly, the publication was AUTHORIZED before it was recovered AND in is plain that publication was intended from day one.

This type of crap wont matter.  Nothing seems to matter where Obama is concerned.  He can sit in the pew and listen a preacher that preached hate and black liberation theology for over twenty years and it doesn't matter.  He can have associates that were terrorists that still feel no regret for what they did and it doesn't matter.  His wife can say things that would normally be a deal breaker and it doesn't matter.  He can make **** up after **** up and it still doesn't matter.  I swear the world has gone insane.

He could walk into a Catholic Church and take communion and the Vatican would excuse him because He sanctified the Eucharist.

Seriously.

And it is all for naught.  I will be president of the United States before Borax Hussein O'Bama is president of the United States.

"Lord - protect my family and me. Forgive 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."

I would have to say that the part about guarding against Pride was ignored by God.


The real note.  "Lord, if you find yourself needing help, give me a call".

yep.  in the history of the frequently sleazy world of presidential politics, I'm not sure anyone has ever politicized a prayer before.
