Note that Barack Obama left at Western Wall in Jerusalem

The Obama Campaign collaborated with the Israeli news media to publicize the note that Barack left at the Western Wall in Jerusalem.  An Israeli paper was duped by the junior Illinois Senator’s campaign to publish the note.

The Israeli Insider broke the news:

What initially seemed to be a journalistic scoop of dubious moral propriety now seems to be a case of an Israeli paper being played by the Barack Obama campaign. Maariv, the second most popular newspaper in Israel, was roundly criticized for publishing the note Obama left in the Kotel. But now a Maariv spokesperson says that publication of the note was pre-approved for international publication by the Obama campaign, leading to the conclusion that the “private” prayer was intentionally leaked for public consumption.

At around 5am last Thursday, Obama arrived at the Kotel, or Western Wall, abutting the holiest site in Judaism, the Temple Mount. Accompanied by the Rabbi in charge of the site, Shmuel Rabinovich, he reportedly heard Psalm 122, which contains a prayer for the peace of Jerusalem, touched the wall briefly and then deposited a note of prayer into a crack between the ancient stones, in keeping with the tradition of visitors to the site. On his way out, he was briefly heckled, with one man calling out that “Jerusalem is not for sale” and “Remember what you see here.” Trying to drown out the critics, a few supporters chanted his name.

…

“Obama’s note was published in Maariv and other international publications following his 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.”

…

Typical the Obama campaign using religion as a campaign prop. I wonder if Reverand Jeremiah Wright was advising Barack on this.

Just another Campaign Stunt.  The Obamarama steams on with it’s misrepresentations and lies.
