MEMO to the Obamarama Campaign: You may have officially peaked!
After eight tumultuous years of economic instability, human loss in a controversial war and ample segments on late night talk shows, this entire nation is in store for “change”.
Regardless of political affiliation, a fresh face with more than yellow teeth behind a presidential smile is a welcomed site.
That’s why even though John McCain lapped his competition and took the presumptive republican nomination in record time, this country was still enraptured with Barack Obama.
Can you blame them? This is history and the media have made this election about “his story.” So now that we all know about the man behind the unfortunate name, we are learning enough about him to take that story back to the library.
His numbers are sliding (although still ahead of Johnny “I’m not sure about the Church” McCain). His reputation is now shaking. And the Church is now grimacing.
So, for a COMPLETE HOAX, SHAM and UTTER PR STUNT, Barack Obama dawns a Yamika and visits the Wailing Wall.
THE WAILING WALL. One of the holiest, take-your-shoes-off type places on the planet! Puh-lease! This is a CANDIDATE making a foreign relations goodwill tour. Huh?
Can anyone repeat after HiScrivener, “P-H-O-T-O O-P-P-O-R-T-U-N-I-T-Y.”
This guy does not have the best track record when discussing the Holy Land. Then, this cat with a MUSLIM name (and I know he does not hold that theological point of view) gets nice with the most sacred Jewish ritual?! Seriously?! And no one thought this wouldn’t backfire.
It did.
The video is below, but you can hear a heckler clearly voice the opinion of many in attendance, “Obama, Jerusalem is not for sale!” Ouch. What’s worse? Someone actually REMOVED his prayer from the Wall and gave it to the press?! That’s doomsday material there in Judaism. Think the Orthodox Jews care? Nah, not when YHWH is there. Besides, they hear they are the chosen people and got a little spunky.
Here it is, as posted in Ma’ariv:
Lord – Protect my family and me. Forgive 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.
This is a man of eloquence, wit and candor. And that’s the best he’s got?! Well, it’s not surprising seeing how he’s not the best when it comes to church attendance. And for those that think he wrote this, I got a brick to sell you from the Wailing Wall itself.
So, I hope you enjoyed the trip, Barack Obama. That sound you hear could be the tick-tock on your Rolex about to hit midnight.

EC, I’ll would give you that, but I’ve read both of his books. The man doesn’t speak in simple sentences, nor does he have that kind of cadence.
But even if he did pen that himself, the simple fact that he was there just reeks of spin control. He is so hungry for the Church’s vote, that he is willing to do that. The man has a hard enough time attending church on his own, and so in an effort to talk foreign relations, he just has to make time in his schedule for that on his way to the airport?!
Fishy. I seriously hope you’re right though, because pimping a wall is not something I would recommend at this point in his career.

What if he was sincere? Maybe his prayer was simple because his speech writers didn’t write it for him. Can we give him the benefit of the doubt for now?
