Obama Prayer Note, Continued
WASHINGTON — 9:30 p.m. EDT
Several blog posts on Sen. Barack Obama’s prayer note from his pre-dawn visit Thursday to the Western Wall in the Old City of Jerusalem.
Officially, Obama’s traveling press secretary Jen Psaki denies the campaign in any way cleared release or pre-released Obama’s prayer note. Informally, I discussed this matter with Psaki in London before Obama’s press conference. She seemed genuinely unnerved and upset about publication of the prayer note. That doesn’t prove anything, I know. But I wanted to add that as a bit of context.
Here are today’s posts on this subject.

I post this under the heading of FYI. I know from comments to my previous posts that some of you had suspicions. At this point, no one appears to know exactly what happened. But as many of you also mentioned in earlier comments, Obama and God know what happened and for both that’s all that really matters.

You are trying too hard, Major.
Obama the Christian
Right
Everyone voting for Mr Slick
knows he is about as christian
as Rob Zombie or Marylin Manson
Major…lets move on with the real news of the day…this is silly… http://www.enewsreference.com
Its a disgrace that someone publisized his prayer note,,,its even more sacrilegious that media outlets continue dwelling on this item.No wonder Obama refuses to fade away inspite of numerous attacks and smears on his faith and family.I think the american are really tired of negative campaign gimmicks especially from the far right.
Your slanderous insinuation that Obama somehow wanted or even planned to have is heartfelt and PRIVATE prayer published is par for the course for fox news. From liz Trotta wishing she could assasinate him, to Steve Doocey spreading the lie that Senator Obama was educated in a madrassa, to E. D. Hill disrespecting Michelle Obama by calling her Husband her baby mama, your so called news organization has repeatedly smeared Senator Obama. The protest you experienced over the weekend was just the start of our concerted effort to boycott your shows. Once Black America turns off fox news, you and all of your racist cohorts will be out of a job.
FOX NEWS IS REALLY GETTING PATHETIC. YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT A PERSONS PRAYERS. JUST GET UP IN THE MORNING, SHAWN, BILL,GRETA, JUAN, AND THE REST OF YOU JERKS, ASK YOURSELF, WHAT WILL THEY SAY AT MY FUNERAL? WILL IT BE NICE OR WILL ANYONE OUTSIDE YOUR RACIST CLICK ATTEND. I PRAY THAT YOU CHANGE YOUR WAYS AND BE MORE LIKE JESUS MADE YOU TO BE.

Nothing to see here, move along….
Thank you, and all others at Fox, for your hard work and dedication in bringing us the news. I am one person, and I know there are many more, who appreciate all that you do.
And, yes, this is for real.
The student who took the note has returned it, and issued an apology.
Obama has never confirmed that it was in fact his prayer note, so this is a non-issue. For all we know, he could have made a grocery list.
The bigger issue here is that Mr. Obama’s foreign excursion was nothing short of a multi-million dollar publicity stunt. Once again, he’s trying to convince people through smoke and mirrors that he is someone that he is not…. that being a legitimate, qualified candidate for president of the United States. But I do hope God does answer his prayer about his pride. He’s got a serious issue there, and one that poses a great danger to our country should he obtain the reigns of power.
Obama is criticized for going, but before he went people wondered if he could handle all aspects of the office of President. I think that he showed that he could get along well with leaders of other countries and present himself as Presidential. He shows class and intellect, but is also humble and has a sense of humor. Some will find fault no matter what, but that will not change the fact that he has a great deal of ability which I don’t see in the present President or Obama’s opponent. McCain just doesn’t come up to that level even though he is giving his best.
Watching some of the campaign news last night Lanny Davis talked about Obama being one of the most talented candidates he’s ever seen. I think that he is intelligent and has the ability to stop and think and then act which whoever gets elected should be able to do and should have an even temperment. When he traveled abroad, he handled himself well and if he already held the office of President, would have made us proud. The people in Germany seemed to think very highly of him. I havent seen anyone whether candidate or in office show such class. His speech was intelligent, he didn’t stumble and and showed he could handle the job.
Yes, this is indeed the bourbon room. Someone has been imbibing European spirit more than covering the news. I think this was just something to fill the space and of course provide us with the usual foxnews ‘news update’ or is it ‘jumbling the news’ that you all, ironically refer to as breaking news. Foxnews, fair and imbalance!
God Bless America
#1 How was the note removed without witnesses? If you noticed it was folded up no bigger than a dime and Obama shoved it deply in the wall.
#2 did anyone take the time to notice if the note beared the same folded creases?
#3 non of the people there who think it is against God to remove the note notice a person digging in the wall?
#4 It supposely happen right after his visit so do you think they would of not been watching the wall to keep prayers safe?
#5 He is again saying he is doing God’s will? The truth of it is he is doing Obama’s will!
#6 learn what a plant job is Obama followers.
this is just to tick off you Obamamaniacs
enjoy,
In a surprising result, the latest Gallup/USA Today poll of likely voters in the presidential race shows Sen. John McCain leading Sen. Barack Obama by four percentage points, 49-45. The shift represents a swing of 10 points in favor of Sen. McCain from last month’s poll, which showed the Republican trailing Obama by 6 points. The poll was conducted over the weekend, on the heels of Sen. Obama’s foreign trip. That trip was designed to show Sen. Obama as a competent manager of foreign policy and national security matters. But controversies marred the ending of the trip and may have contributed to the results of this poll.
Not all registered voters vote, however, and a lead among likely voters is generally considered by pollsters to be more significant as an indicator of the eventual election outcome
http://www.news.aol.com/political-machine/2008/07/28/gallup-poll-shows-mccain-ahead-of-obama/
but the poll’s result has to be very troubling for the Illinois Senator’s effort. The campaign has been talking openly of preparing for a presidential transition and has been chastised recently by reporters for acting too much like a White House in waiting. Besides serving as a dose of reality for a campaign that has perhaps been flying a little too high, the result should spur the Obama campaign to take a serious look at its message. Obama has been primarily basing his appeal on his personal judgment and potential. But voters tend to vote on specifics, and the Obama campaign has been short on the kinds of concrete plans that voters typically look for from presidential candidates. In other words, Obama will have to demonstrate to voters that he is more than just an eloquent speaker to win the election.
Major,
Advance, this week BO in St Pete, then Orlando.
A point about the “wall note”, difficult to see as privite or even a sacred moment with your God, something that took time to set up the special lighting, sound booms, and cameras rolling, not sure how many times someone has yelled ACTION, and CUT, at such a sacred place while praying.
It was a political moment nothing else, if he wished it to be privite, he could have arranged it,
(and visits with the wounded as well).
I am not sure McCain would have pulled such a stunt.

Maybe you should also include someone who admits when he is wrong. lol someone who has a stand and stays with it. someone who isn’t into showboating. someone who isn’t arrogant. It would be a bonus if this someone didn’t use the race card.
As for Obama even temperment might want to tell the guy he yelled at who only wanted a picture with Obama or the journalist that he blew off or the reporters who traveled with him when he wouldn’t talk to them for 10 days because he had a bad debate against Hillary. Or the reporter he snapped at just let me finish my bagel.
Fox News hits all time low of d-e-s-p-e-r-a-t-i-o-n…this is about as weak without substance as it gets, let’s talk about where he took his last dump, maybe there is some sunstance there if he wrote on the bathroom wall…come on Fox. Maybe your running out of ‘Talking Points’ from the Whitehouse…
We are disenfranchised ex-Democrats, appalled by the Caucus frauds and the coup perpetrated by George Soros, Howard Dean, Nancy Pelosi and Donna Brazile, as the DNC allowed for 30 people to supersede the voice of 600,000 Americans and ignored their votes by hijacking Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton’s delegates and giving them to Barack Obama.
B.O. was selected not elected.
WE DO NOT TRUST HIM AND DO NOT WANT HIM AS OUR PRESIDENT!
CALL YOUR SUPERDELEGATES NOW! NOMINATE HILLARY IN THE STATE BY STATE ROLL-CALL!

Obama can get rude with a person who just wanted a photo, he can get rude with news people traveling with him because he had a bad debate, he can get ignorant with TN GOP because Michelle represented the Obama campaign but you guys still think he is well tempered? lmao He can be belittling to a journalist because she is female and he can request no Muslim attire (women with head garments) appear around him in middle east but he is a uniter? yea whatever.
why is the USA Today polling results always different to Rasmussen or Quinipac results by a significant margin…can someone tell me how the pollings are done?
This is so amusing to me. The fact that anyone is even debating over whether or not the prayer note was political is ridiculous. Obama and God know the answer to that. Let the actions of our candidates speak for them. I would love it if both parties had to shut up for at least one month. NO TALKING Then, we could all research, collect, and pour over the data of their pasts. Then, decide who to vote for. Who has the experience, who has voted in favor of policies that you agree with, in favor of moral standards that you want to live by, etc. But, we would probably just move on to other news until the month was over, right. You bet I’m right….all the way RIGHT.
Major this was a pure and simple campaign stunt pure and simple. Lets see what happens when the truth comes out about this one. And I thought the Clintons were bad. This group takes the cake.
Major, of course God knows what happened regarding this prayer and it’s release—that is why it has been exposed by those in Israel who were involved. Obama and his campaign just go w-a-y over the top trying to promote him and make people like him. They really need to take a break now–we the people are tired of seeing and hearing about “Barak Obama”. Enough Already!!!!
I have to tell you people that the comments I see in this blog is just insane. The insinuations and plain lies here are troublesome indeed. There are straight lies like what “Obamamaniac get a grip” said. This is why it is so important to do your own research and than choose who do you want as your president. There is a reason why the Academia of America supports Obama. Smart, intelligent people know what they are talking about.

Obama and his campain orchestrated the so called theft of his note, and gave a copy of the note to the press to publish it.
WHY ARENT US NETWORKS COVERING THIS TOPIC!
Anyone who is a studying Christian, knows this is so wrong.
Matthew 6:5-6. Paraphrase: Do not be like the hypocrites who love to pray in the streets, that they may been seen of men. But pray in secret.
So he Publishes his selfish prayer! Way to go Obama!
I hope the next president of the US will include the Country in his prayers.
I have no facts to back this idea up concerning the so called “prayer note” other than it seems a bit “Fishy.” Knowing how this obama person operates by photo opps and other methods. It is my opinion or suspicion that He (obama) had this prayer note manufactured in the first place in order to try to get one more appearance of how he is such a “little lost lamb” trying to do God’s will in a world where He is being on the level- ya right.
I would not be surprised to learn that this whole prayer note thing was all staged just to make obama look like a little lost lamb seeking to lead a nation into doing the right thing. Just another stunt for votes.
first thing the media sure had to get that on film,and it dam sure took him long enough to get the note to stay in the wall ,and bam the next thing we know it was in the news paper.LMAO ! and her is so inocent
