Obama at the Wall Redux
By dcmediagirl on July 28, 2008 at 10:42 PM in Barack Obama, Current Affairs, Israel, Jews
Since my last post on this subject generated so many bracing comments I decided to return for another bite at the apple.
Consider this video:
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ja8VmfyY2ys[/youtube]
Now. What is the likelihood that some thief could make his way through this media, security and Rabbi scrum (nice yarlmulkes on the Secret Service detail BTW) and surreptitiously make off with the exact note that Obama crammed into the Kotel? I don’t mean to get all Oliver Stone on you all — but just think about it.
Once $299.98, now yours for $149.99.
The big 3 TV media anchors in Europe were there to take his ass on and make sure what happened actually happened.
There is always a flip side to everything. Think about how tough they hammered him in their interviews.
The anchors have standards to live up to, and they did.
This time I do not believe the anchors of the big 3 TV stations were there as messiah worshipers. I believe they were their to hold his ass accountable.
Those anchors did not go just to have fun with the messiah. This was different and too obvious even for the really obvious……and sometimes the too obvious has a different objective.
The lesser media venues are more questionable and laughable, like the journalist who wrote the article about being in the work out room with Obama at the hotel and had her picture taken with him for her paper. Give me a break!
So if they are bitching about the media being negative for Obama, that is because he was caught in his own trap this time.
Hard to watch the video and all the deference given to this arrogant pretender. Not sure about the prayer. Have seen to many other “tricks” though to say it is absolutely NOT possible that BO gave his permission to the media to print it.
And what is with all the men? Where are the women? Is the wall a boys only club?
You can hear plenty of protesters in the background.
There was one extremely loud guy who kept yelling something about the I/P conflict and BO. Apparently he was so vocal he ruined the “campaign commercial.”
Obama looks uncomfortable in this video, and like he could use a cigarette.
The women go to a separate part of the wall, where it is women only. The men have their section, which is men only.
as it was from the beginning….
I can’t even look at him. He looks like a high school kid pretending to know what he is doing. I still can’t believe this is really happening–that people take him seriously. It’s a really bad joke.
I thought he wanted to tear down walls.
He will tear this wall down with the help of Iran.
Let’s see….Depending on which side of the bed Barry wakes up on Jerusalem gets to stay intact as the present Capital of the Country called Israel….Or it becomes a devided city and capital for the Palestinians who must still travel through another country to get to this proposed capital…SHEEEEESH!
NO WONDER HE WAS HECKLED SCMECKLED BY A PISSED OFF ISRAELI !
and while listening to Obama weasel out of that double message, I saw a con artist fill the airwaves with nothingness and Charlie Gibson letting him get away with it!
iow - reporters want credit for merely asking Obama difficult questions. To hell with his answers or any follow up questions!!
True that….They all want Ed Morrow points for the pretense of ( really NewsPorn ) journalism….Kinda like assigning Genius Points to political hacks who state the obvious….OH BROTHER !
oooh I’d like to Jesse Jackson him.
I posted it earlier. An Israeli paper already confirmed that BO leaked his note to the press even before he put in at the Wall. It’s all for the love of publicity & political consumption.

He couldn’t wait for God to read it already?
It’s OUTRAGEOUS ! Does Barry know or even CARE about the SIGNIFICANCE of the Wailing Wall on the Temple Mount….His Muslim advisers/pals probably told him the LALA story MYTH about it all being a huge set of rubble around the Prophets hitching post….and he bought it…..SHEEEESH !
*** AND JESUS WAS JUST ANOTHER BLACK GHETTO FREEDOM FIGHTER ***
What an ABSOLUTE JOKE! Why didn’t the media-taking guy just knock those guys out of the way - did you see them look at the camera and apparently the camera-person told them to move outta the way so they could focus on the ’sensational one’? Those guys had to move a couple of times so the camera could zoom right up to Obummer’s face - LAUGHABLE! Obummer gingerly - like a girl - just lightly ‘tucked’ the note into the wall.
This man has an extreme ego problem!
The note said, “I support Ahmadinejad, because if there was no people there would be no problems in the world. Allah Akbar. The Zionist occupying regime will be wiped from the pages of time.”
It’s called NPD with a large dollop of Meglomania on top!
Obama needs an intervention.
Obama needs a diaper and a pacifier.
Let’s see. Islam, Christianity, and Judaism have been brought (dragged) into the US Presidential race.
At the rate things are going everyone from the big three religions will be at each others throats.
Won’t that be fun?
Jefferson was right. Leave religion out of it. That’s why it’s in the Constitution.
Isn’t Obama a Constitutional scholar? Guess not.
BO politicized religion. I couldn’t think of the last politician who did that. For BO, anything is possible for the love of publicity and politic consumption.
The last politician who politicized religion? Isn’t it George Bush?
Thanks for the utterly useless obligatory Moral Equivalence argument. Try to keep up. We do not permit stupid “I know you are, but what am I?” bullshit here.
What you just did, metermaid, is admit that your Master is as bad as GW.
Oh yeah, by the way, George Bush isn’t running, so the only one we can call on this religious pandering is Barry.
In addition to promoting ’sexism’, ‘favoritism’ and stirring up ‘racism’…Obummer’s hit most of all the major religions and plenty of the ‘isms’ and all those things that divide. Yessir - that Obummer sure is a good ‘uniter’.
Al Qaeda Calls for Saudi King’s Death for Meeting With Pope
http://mypetjawa.mu.nu/archives/193443.php
Hmmm….Well How REDUNDANT is that…Al Queda has been at war with the Saudi Royal Family for how long…..This must be Fatwa # 12 ?
Osama must be havin a slow day….sheeesh!
If the paper received authorization to release the prayer (as it says that it did) then the decision to publish it was not shameful. Obama using the Prayer Wall for a political stunt is shameful, to say the least. But Obama and his Borg wouldn’t know about that as they have no concept of either shame or civilised behaviour.
Obama’s note was not stolen. It was rejected and spit out by the wall.
LOL!!!
Oof!
Cleanup on aisle 5, Zeke just sprayed his Mac with ale…..
That’s REALLY funny!!!
Hurled and regurgitated by the wall.
Maybe the note not remaining in the wall should be taken as an editorial comment from God?
How much will Farrakhan and other radical anti-Jewish forces tolerate Obama’s pandering? They know where O really stands. Perhaps O’s note (not the one left for the media in his hotel room) declares his real feelings and intentions about the US and Israel, and he had Farrakhan’s blessings. If not, he might be pissing off some already-angry fanatics.
Not how much, but for how long? To be fair, Farrakhan has been unduly pilloried (particuarly the “gutter” religion comment was highly blown out of proportion; what Jesse said about “Hymietown” was far, far worse IMHO) but I expect they will lie low until it is safe to come out if they ever feel they need to.
Quite frankly, just as Obama got obliterated by Bobby Rush because he “wasn’t black enough”, his AA support I expect will be rather tenuous. Obama went to Chicago for the black experience which he never got as a child and always fit in better with a white crowd. I think Jesse being much older has realized the fake the media put before the American voter.
Obama hasn’t been acting like a concerned black candidate, either by design or inability. Heck, he really hasn’t been acting like a Democrat if you want to get technical. I honestly think Obama will start to be called an Oreo, which I expect is a ploy Axelrod will embrace because it could be spun into reassuring the white majority.
Patrick,
What he hasn’t been acting like is an American.
Of course when you’re a Citizen of the World….
Farrakhan unduly pilloried? He was behind offing Malcolm X cause he was too tame.
Around the same time the Black Panthers and US with founder Ron Karenga were warring and some Black Panthers were murdered. Ron Karenga is also the felon who invented Kwanzaa.
These guys aren’t playing and they aren’t civilized. The NOI murdered a reporter investigating one of their bakeries.
Rezko and Oblowme and yes, the very politically astute MEchelle whose father was a ward boss, aren’t reformers. They’re slime ball opportunists motivated by greed.
But BLT is the steam that drives the machine.
You Go Girl….Damn Straight !
Oh, Oh, Oh, painful, just painful. WAKEUP world, see this man for who he is. The world is in big trouble. OBAMA is wrong for this country. America, don’t do this!
I don’t think Obama has any preference for any religion. He appears to favor a religion when it is politically expedient for him to do so. Like on the South Side of Chicago attending a church which teaches Black Liberation Theology or interacting with the Nation of Islam can bring in votes. Now Obama appears at the Wailing Wall. Whatever it takes to get votes, thats what Obama favors. It is a pattern in his behavior.
Someone noted that Obama supporters regularly accused of Hillary of doing anything to win.
Right now, Obama is schooling everyone on how to pander to .
Obama gave out his note to the press before he left his hotel, that is, before he went to the Western Wall, according to the Israeli papers:
http://whatsuddenly.blogspot.com/2008/07/obama-gave-media-his-western-wall-note.html
BO is never going to find Platform 9 1/2, damn fool.
At least this time the Democratic party will have to count my vote and they can count it as they kiss my vote that counts good-bye.
The party is corrupt under Dean, Pelosi and Obama the ring leader.
I really have to laugh at all this. I watch the media report of BO placing this note in the wall and thought to myself, he’s expecting this note will be retrieved then displayed. And sure enough, it was retrieved and displayed. Anyone who doesn’t think the BO knew exactly what would happen with that note is underestimating his intelligence!
You sure the credit for this plan goes to Barack? To me, sounds more like an Axelrod ploy.
tomato-tomahto
Agree, way over Bambi’s level of political chicanery.
Actually, even funnier — it was not retrieved, BO gave it to the media before he went to the Wall. LMAO
No one could find his prayer if they tried. Obama couldn’t get his prayer in there in the first place without dismantling other prayers! Ridiculous! What’s up with all the chanting of his name at the Kotel? How disrespectful! What the hell is their problem chanting his name like some idol?
It was a perfect photo op and I really appreciated how they had to keep pushing the people away so he would be the center of attention.
He has no shame and to hear that he was the one who gave his prayer to the press just proves he has no brain.

this is too funny:

Gerard, thanks for that article with the great last line:
“Obama may be the first to take a prayer-leak on the Wall.”
I feel embarrassed for Obama watching this video.
Ehemmmm…..Sympathy for a Fascist Jane ? NOT ME!
The Obama campaign leaked the his wailing wall prayer note. Israeli newspapers got the prayer in advance.
http://www.redstate.com/diaries/redstate/2008/jul/28/obama-leaked-his-prayer-to-press-before-he-di/
The “prayer” was a typical Axelrod Production.
Pssst, write up something really godly and have one of our lackies pull that thing out and show it to the press.
Agreed.
and make that moment into a VIDEO of how pious he is.
The article Gerard linked above shows his motive.
Obama is just like Britney Spears. Take away the strings and all you have is a lost puppet in the middle of a media frenzy. Even their fans are alike.
Ehemmm….Leeeeave Britneeeey Aaalooone….she’s just a person….
Keep in mind that Obama is not just making a fool of himself with these little ploys. He’s making the whole Democratic Party look stupid.
Democratic Follies

He really looked uncomfortable at the Wall. His hand was off that wall so fast, I think It gave him a shock. The Wall knows a phony, it rejected him.
As I do, I reject you obama.
never ever obama.
McCain if I must.
rise Hillary Rise
He was searching for the hitching post of the Prophet….A common Muslim Political Myth is that them ruins aint nothin but a Roman Barracks and that there is a magic hitchin post….It’s another way to debunk any Jewish Claim to Jerusalem or Israel….Aaaaand for a special BONUS if Jesus is a black gheto freedom fighter and not a Jew then the Christians don’t have religious claim to the history either…..This crap is some of what they teach in the madrassas, and Uncle Jerry’s Church of Hate Whitey and Ayatollah Louis’ Real Estate Academy
Brittny Spears has a MUCH better bod!!!
Can’t stand this man Obama. He is not who people think he is. Wake Up America.
Of *****COURSE***** the “leak” of the note contents was PLANTED. Any leak that contains bland, hagiogpraphic ramblings of someone in politics is planted. Period. I’m only surprised the note didn’t contain a plea for world peace and a reference to himself as “this humble vessel.”
What is shocking and scary is how effective this demagoguery is.
I would not be surprised if the Obama campaign actually released a copy of his prayer to the press. He can’t get enough
of publicity and showing.
I do not want to know, or care to see what he wrote on that prayer note, but I sure would want him to release HIS ORIGINAL BIRTH CERTIFICATE, his Illinois senate records, his tax returns of the last 18 years or so, and his original Columbia U. Thesis, among other things.
I am sorry the Israelis allowed him to display campaign logos, posters, in an
area that is cherished for its historic
symbolism by us christians as well.
yes he did… in fact the newspaper said they got the “prayer” and that it was approved by Baracktrack before he left his hotel…
what a slimeball…

It should read: Christians.
Senator Obama should tap Mr. Sinclair as his vice-presidential running mate. They could use the privacy of the Lincoln Bedroom to “define” and “shape” policies.
