How Obama's prayer was released by him to the press before Maariv got it from the wall and how he manipulated religious feelings of others for his political benefit.

[PGR88]

It’s becoming clear that Obama is 100% about Politics. He is worse than Bill Clinton. What a media slut.

This totally reminds me of the Bill Clinton photo op in 1994 when Clinton visited Omaha Beach in Normandy on the 50th anniversary of D-Day. While the press took photos and video footage, Clinton pensively paused and arranged some rocks in the shape of a cross, then bowed his head in reverent contemplation. The only problem is that there are no rocks on this beach, just sand and this was all carefully staged.

Same with Obama. This has all the earmarks of political stagecraft with the note carefully crafted by staff and dutifully released for political impact. In other words, it was a political scam.

There was a reply scrawled on the bottom of the hotel stationery:

Dear Barry: I have no idea where you are coming from. Do you worship Me in spirit and in truth or are you still dabbling with Islam? If you believe, you know all prayers and all redemption comes to me by passing through the narrow gate known as my Son. Now, go forth and stop acting like a Messiah, and get thy feces together.

Yours truly, GOD (Order of Saint Benedict)

I think that Orthodox Jews will consider this a sacrilege.

[Between the Lines]

Matthew 6:5-6 "And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by men. I tell you the truth, they have received their reward in full. But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.

Go to the source article and see the editor’s note which now appears there:

“Editor’s note: Publication of this article is suspended. Ma’ariv has backed away from the published story and YA has indicated differences with the published account.”

I have yet to see any evidence that the Obama campaign provided the text of the note or permission to publish it, to any media outlet. The only outlet making this claim is Maariv, which is desperate to mount a defense, and obviously untrustworthy. No other media outlet has confirmed Maariv’s claim that the note was released to “media outlets” prior to its being placed in the wall. So either Maariv actually got it from the yeshiva student-turned-thief, or they conspired with the Obama campaign to publish it and pretend (until they got in heaps of trouble for it) that the student-thief was their source. Either way, Maariv lies, and I don’t believe anything they say unless/until I see corroboration from a reliable source.
