Comments on: Obama's Handwritten Prayer Made Public

Israeli Paper Publishes Democrat's Note Left In Cracks Of Western Wall

[nanging3]

When I left my note at the wall, I thought it was private between me and God..I think the student who removed it should be removed from the seminary !

.... and Obama himself%u2026 before TUCC%u2026.

Malcolm X%u2019s autobiography seemed to offer something different,%u201D Obama wrote.
%u201CHis repeated acts of self-creation spoke to me; the blunt poetry of his
words, his unadorned insistence on respect, promised a new and uncompromising
order, martial in its discipline, forged through sheer force of will.%u201D

While working as a community organizer for a group of churches in Chicago,
Obama was repeatedly asked to join Christian congregations, but begged off.

How can this man represent all Americans ?

His mentor Rev.Wright brags in the church newsletter about his degree in Islamic studies ??

Obama just doesn%u2019t get it%u2026 He needs to explain theses beliefs and stop
insulting Christians by claiming to be one..This is not Christianity !!

The Obamas have practiced "Black Theology" from the writing of Marxist, James
H. Cone%u2026 for 20 years.
..this is what his church taught his daughters on Sundays%u2026

%u201CBlack theology refuses to accept a God who is not identified totally with the
goals of the black community. If God is not for us and against white people,
then he is a murderer and we had better kill him. The task of black theology is
to kill gods who do not belong to the black community. Black theology will
accept only the love of God which participates in the destruction of the white
enemy. What we need is the divine love as expressed in black power which is the
power of black people to destroy their oppressors here and now by any means at
their disposal. Unless God is participating in his holy activity, we must reject
his love.%u201D

kansas1946....Thank you for revealing a little about yourself. I have always read your posts and we totally agree on everything. You are a kind and compassionate poster and your posts are always well thought out. Even though we do not really know each other I consider you a friend and I''m glad you''re out there. Thank you for being who you are. And tucker, you seem like a kindred spirit as well.

[element51]

I just finished reading this board and my first reaction was to go after you right wingers with a vengence. But all things considered I decided not to. There is just no point in getting angry over these comments. I think after reading them that they pretty much paint an accurate picture of those who posted them. To take each insult one by one and try to defend against them would be an exercise if futility. Not because they can''t be countered but because it would fall on deaf ears. So even though I do feel an intense anger I am going to ignore it and concentrate on things that will be more constructive. Go ahead and vote however you feel is right. So will I. You can attack me any way you want but I am proud of the way Senator Obama represented my country. I stand beside him now and I will stand beside him in November. Even if he does not win I will still be proud of him.

I''''m sure that Obama did this on purpose knowing it would probably be leaked, and then it would make him appear as a Christian.

Well, obviously we don''t have to worry about you on that subject. Fascist Repugnican supporters all go to that big, hot cesspool in the center of the Earth and blog all night long on liberal news sites. Say hi to Helms and Snow, for me, good buddy.

[suzyku]

It''s a beautiful prayer, thoughtful, like the man himself. All you right wing nuts who want more of the same and will vote for mcbush are beyond hope!

SharnCedar''s prayer: Oh lawrd, thank you for making me a white man. Thank you for making me better than everyone else. Now please, make me richer, make something happen to libs, make me right in the eyes of all onlookers. Achoo.

[rudy654-2009]

Goodness. How ridiculous to scrape up somebody''s prayer just to make a buck.

"Maariv published a photograph of the note on its front page on Friday"
--------------------------------

Its ALL about makin'' MONEY.

GREED!

Vendors were seen just outside selling Obama bobblehead dolls while others were hawking their wares: "Peeeeanuts! Get some Peeeenuts!!!

and " Beer here! ICE COLD beer here!

Very pious.

"Lord - Protect my family and me," reads the note published in the Maariv daily. "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."

I wonder what terrible portent McCain is going to see in this ... surely there''s "something" wrong.

Martha44, Very good, but esperanto never caught on. Sorry.

tuckerndfw and kansas1946, don''t you two feel like strangers in this country? Wouldn''t you feel so much more at home in Canada or France or Germany? It seems like your (and Obama''s) political ideology is more suited to a socialist country, not the USA.

[kansas1946]

I''''m sure that Obama did this on purpose knowing it would probably be leaked, and then it would make him appear as a Christian. The most appaling thing to me is that he would stoop to the low of using The Western Wall and God''''s Name in order to boost his own political career. Obama will stoop to ANY low to be elected. This is utterly outrageous to me.

ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[kansas1946]

Obama''''s big French event dragging all press and President Sarcozy up there with him was the most presumptious thing I''''ve ever seen. He looked silly and made American''''s look silly. THis is our election. Just because he has no experience and thinks this little whirlwind tour will make up for it doesn''''t mean he has to drag out parade around with European presidents assuming he has the election all rapped up. This whole thing was for Obama nothing else. The guy has a serious ego problem magnified by his lack of credentials.

No, Bush is the one to make America look silly. At least Obama isn''t scaring the president of Germany half to death by trying to give her a massage!

EddyNewHope, also the Europeans (Germans and French, mainly) were making back door deals to buy oil from Saddam at the same time they were voting against the US'' hard stance on Iraq at the United Nations.

[kansas1946]

have a feeling that most of these Obama supporters are posting messages from outside the US.

You caught me.

I was born in California about a year after my Dad, a bronze star recipient, came home from fighting for your country.

I am white, female, and from Kansas. My earliest relative came to this country in the 1700''s. My great-grandfather fought in the Civil War. (A Yankee)

I''''m supporting Obama because he''''s the best available & viable choice, y''''all.


(Sorry for the plagerism, tucker. :o) )

[liberty_1776]

EddyNewHope, Europeans have always resented the fact that the US waited so long to get into WWII. They have never really appreciated what our military did for them in WWII. I don''t include Great Britain as part of "Europe" - the British are our only REAL allies across the pond. You should study your history, dude.
