A seminarian stole Obama’s note to God that he stuck in the Wailing Wall and then it was published. Don’t you think that such a total lack of respect and an understanding of the sacredness of the Wall would cause his expulsion from the seminary? Why in the world would he violate Obama’s privacy? For the money? What in the world would publishing Obama’s note gain anyone?
BTW, I think Obama’s prayer was wise and sounds like something I would ask except for the despair part. I thought that was kind of odd. I wonder if that was related to his critics or his prospects for the election 🙂 or if he suffers from bouts of depression.

“Lord – Protect my family and me,” Obama wrote on stationery from the King David hotel, where he stayed.
“Forgive me 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.”
