Israeli paper publishes Obama Western Wall prayer

Source: AP

JERUSALEM (AP) - 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."

The paper's decision to make the note public drew fire. The rabbi in charge of the Western Wall, Shmuel Rabinovitz, said publishing the note intruded in Obama's relationship with God.

"The notes placed between the stones of the Western Wall are between a person and his maker. It is forbidden to read them or make any use of them," he told Army Radio. The publication "damages the Western Wall and damages the personal, deep part of every one of us that we keep to ourselves," he said.

Edited on Fri Jul-25-08 10:02 AM by SpiralHawk
"Dear Yahweh Dude,
Please help me and my cabal of republicon cronies to continue to reap massive profits, maintain a fascist grip on the noisy little American proles who refuse to drink the kool aid and pledge fealty to The Republicon Homeland, and help us find ways to continue to cover up our lies, corruption, and treason. I promise, you will get a cut of the action. Smirk.

"p.s. How about manifesting another White House Hottie like Jeff Gannon for me, only this time more secret like. Nudge, nudge, wink, wink. Smirk."

- George AWOL Bush, Skull & Boner Bad Boy Occultist

3. Why did they publish that?
Those prayers are supposed to be that man's private thoughts.
