If Republicans talk about it this can definitely help McCain with Jewish voters I would think, who are already uneasy about Obama. Obama exploiting one of the most holy sites in Israel for political purposes I don’t believe will go over well...
The incomplete story of this so-called “lifted and leaked” prayer is playing towards peoples’ sympathies for Obama.
I’ve been all over the blogosphere this morning and comments are lopsided in defense of Obama’s privacy and outrage at what he has “suffered” at the hands of some of the Jewish people.
He is using the Palestinian’s favorite PR ploy: Pity for the poor victim of the Jews’ indiscretion.
It’s absolutely unforgivable of Obama and his campaign and I don’t think we should let this get brushed under the carpet.
Again, here is what I’m posting in the comments section at different blogs:
It’s apparent that Obama and his campaign did disperse his prayer to media outlets in Israel. I have no idea who the Jewish student is or what place he has in this scenario, but Obama clearly wants the world to see his prayer.
Go to this link to Israel Insider. Halfway down the article you’ll find the new Obama campaign ad, complete with photos of Obama in church, Obama at the wailing wall, the text of his prayer flashing on the screen and beautifully accompanied by “Amazing Grace.” There’s also a request for a donation at the end - “Help Elect Obama!”
