Default Obama's Prayer Leakage

So, he writes a prayer and sticks it in the wall. Someone takes it out, leaks it to the press (an Israeli paper that claims the publication of the prayer was approved by O's campaign, who, of course, deny it), apologizes, and puts it back.

I don't want to inject my own feelings here and prejudice the jury, but, c'mon. What a lousy campaign trick.

Dear God,

Thank you for making me President. Please bless my administration, and help me be patient during the next few months while I have to go through the charade of actually campaigning.

Oh, and please stop damning America. Thanks!

Amen.

If you have ever been to the Wall there are 1000's of prayer notes. Unless you are standing next to the man when he puts it in I can't see how anyone could have retireved it.

Which does make it suspicious
