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.

Yediot Aharonot, the country's most popular daily, published an article Friday saying it had also obtained the note but decided not to publish it, to respect Obama's privacy.
This really does not surprise me. I would put nothing past obama and his campaign.

I'll bet it was here:

Obama's Western Wall Prayer and Snub of Wounded Soldiers

didnt read the whole thing but noticed he's referencing a blog called "The Israeli Insider." Sound familiar?

No wonder we've gotten links from TII on this forum!

But--but--but surely this can't be true. Stephen Colbert assured the nation he had the real prayer. It said "Dear Lord, please keep Jesse Jackson away from my nuts."

Sometimes I wonder if some of our innocent CDF posters are undercover Zionist plants by the IDF aiming at planting pro-Israel propaganda in a sinister brainwashing operation.

Sounds like Obama to me, especially since the note did not say "Dear God, make me the most powerful person on the planet" or to that extent.

I think the fact that Sanrene broke the news and not...let's say.....CNN or Fox or CBS is proof positive that she probably got it from:

Hot Air » Blog Archive » Israeli paper: Obama’s campaign approved his western wall prayer for publication (and the name of the website is so fitting)
