Western Wall or Wailing Wall?
I would have liked for him to have visited with the Jews BEFORE visiting with Hamas.
I hate that, but it’s true. I have doubted an apocolypse or an antichrist, but even I have to take notice of the oddity of all of these things and the symbols they are taking on.
I'm not sure how traditional it is. I've stood there with a siddur in one hand and my other hand on the wall. I'll probably do this again next month, b'ezrat Hashem. I've never seen any of the obvious Kotel regulars stick anything in the wall. My own impression is that the note in the wall thing is sort of like writing to Santa Claus.

I wouldn't be so sure. I know quite a few who would NEVER vote for Obama. Some will vote for McCain. Others will vote for Nader; and still others will stay home. Obama's percentage of the Jewish vote will be the lowest, by far, of any Democratic nominee in a long time, or possibly ever. I wouldn't even be surprised to see Obama lose New York.

Western Wall, Wailing Wall, Wall, Kotel, Kosel; all the same thing.

Good Gawd almighty, I didn’t think Christians wore yarmulkes to the Western Wall. Is there anything this man won’t do for a vote?
14 But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (let him that readeth understand,) then let them that be in Judaea flee to the mountains:
Mark 13:14
I see these photos, and my stomach turns.
The obamanation is standing where he ought not.
“I saw elderly rabbis being pushed out of the way so the cameraman could get a clear shot of the messiah.”
Bastards. Right when you think his entourage can’t get any more disgusting....
To support my claim I offer this photo and caption that ran in the NY Times:
(For those who don't know, there are no gas stations on the Temple Mount, or anywhere near the Temple Mount. And the "Palestinian" is an American Jew not beaten by that policeman, but rescued by him.) ML/NJ
It wasn’t about praying, it was about exploitation.
Imagine the Wailing Wall as a backdrop for a campaign ad.
I wish this were true. It is unfortunate that so many Jews are liberal first and Jew second. They continually vote the liberal candidate even though liberals are clearly anti-Israel.
It’s a shame really.
Hey! Whats that Muslim doing here?! Oy vey!
Garde la Foi, mes amis! Nous nous sommes les sauveurs de la République! Maintenant et Toujours!

What's he gonna do next, visit the pope and expect him to wear an O rainbow t shirt?
That’s pathetic.
I guess he is running for President of the USA with “voters” overseas.
Did he mean reverence for the Wall or reverence for him?
Can't have too much of this protesting the BO before being whisked away by the SS or it may make the DBM news cycle.
