The AP wrote:
A written prayer that Barack Obama left this week in the cracks of the Western Wall, Judaism's holiest site, asks God to guide him and guard his family, an Israeli newspaper reported Friday.

"Lord — Protect my family and me," reads the note published in the Maariv daily. "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."
[...]
Many visitors to the 2,000-year-old Western Wall leave notes bearing requests and prayers. Obama did so during a pre-dawn visit there Thursday, following a day spent meeting Israeli and Palestinian leaders.

Maariv published a photograph of the note, which it said had been removed from the wall by a student at a Jewish seminary immediately after Obama left.
Yoinking a prayer from the wall and printing its contents
The public has a right to know!:1 (1.4%)
Same ole, same ole:15 (20.8%)
WTF is wrong with people today?:56 (77.8%)
Total:72

I'm just happy he wasn't praying for divine help with his humbaseckshul urges or some such.

I suppose this is why Jewish confession never took off.

You don't need confession when you've got a Jewish mother.

Wow, what an odd coincidence. What Obama wrote is perfectly targeted to attempt to sway evangelical voters. What are the odds someone would pick that up and publish it? What a genuine moment of non staged faith by a man seeking to expand his constituency.

What an insightful, unplanned, intimate glimpse into the mind of the man .

It's actually just more evidence of how good his organization is. Obvious propaganda is laughable to you and me, but it sways functionally retarded, forgive me: undecided voters like nothing else.

I'm not all that smart, actually. I've said before that one reason I don't watch TV is I realized how I was being manipulated by the ceaseless insistence of commercials and what not.

Pretty embarrassing to acknowledge, but there it is.

I'm not sure that I buy that it was planted to be found. On the other hand, I don't doubt for a second that it was written with the understand that it may be found and thus he shouldn't ask for a plague of locusts to devour McCain's ******* or anything.

But... wouldn't acknowledging that and taking steps to remedy it make you smarter than the average American?

No, it doesn't. You know that feeling you got when Gbaji first claimed the "Mission Accomplished" banner was a spontaneous outpouring of support from the troops?

Yeah.

I still remember slick willy placing the rocks on the beach in the shape of a cross. lol

I remember military personnel being forced to rehearse "questions" for Bush. Hahahaha. I never thought a Republican president could be so hated by the military.

You don't really think the military hates W do you?

I think he's the least popular Republican to the military in a century. I know you're completely ignorant of the situation, but if you understood what the military leadership really thought of how Iraq was carried out, you'd be amazed there hadn't been a coup yet.

I'm sure it was deliberately written in that manner, as well. They still shouldn't have published it.

Stop it, you're killing me. It was a press release from the campaign.

As I said, I'm not saying it wasn't, I'm saying that the fact that it was "found" and published doesn't, in of itself, mean that it was meant to be taken. We're talking about a world where people eBay celebrity chewing gum. Either way, I would readily admit that it was written with the understanding that it may be taken.
