No Shame, Obama Has No Shame

I’m stunned. I shouldn’t be at this point but I am.
That someone would steal a prayer was absolutely outrageous. And I 100% agreed with The Anchoress’s take about it:
That is the trend, these days, of course. Name-call, deride, mock, disbelieve and in all ways go negative – on every issue, in every instance, unto perpetuity – on any politician with whom you disagree, and any pundit you don’t like, and any blogger who does not see things the way you see them. In that way, they immediately become less human to you, and the less human they seem, the easier they are to hate, and continue to hate.
But I didn’t blog about it because something felt wrong. Well it wasn’t something. It was some ONE. Barack Obama himself released the prayer before he went to the wall. (Well, his handlers or someone did, the denial will be coming post-haste.)
Is nothing sacred?
Evidently not. The Anchoress says this:
I want to believe he did not…but it must be said that his team’s placement of “Obama” signs at the Kotel – which was pretty inappropriate in that holy place – may well indicate that the prayer was released intentionally.
To which I cannot help but think: Senator Obama, we knew John Paul II, and you are no John Paul II. The prayer – not being a historical document – should not have been released.
Meanwhile…we wait to see if the press will cover any of this.
I hate going here…it makes me feel dirty. But if the Obama team played this card, it needs an answer – a definitive one – and going here is now legitimate.
That’s it, right there. Dirty. I was so angered that the prayer got “stolen”. Who would do such a thing? A prayer, a man’s relationship, is between God and him. And then, to find out that the prayer was released before it got put in the wall….
Who the frack does this man think he is? No, Anchoress, Barack Obama is more important than the Pope–every word uttered by him is history in the making. Evidently, his prayer for humility wasn’t answered.

So. . . lemmie get this straight. Obama releases the text of his prayer. Then McCain, (the guy who leaves his wife broken after a car crash to marry a beer baroness half his age) gives a speech on morality.
And it’s Obama that has no shame?
I must say that it is fun occasionally visiting this website. It’s like going to another word where the laws of space and time do not apply.

Glynn,
I am not sure there was a comparison in the story. Just a statement about Obama. Either way, I am glad to know that the rest of the country is still a place where the laws of time and space do not apply (relative to the very stable and righteous California).
Since we are throwing in non-sensical comparisons… Is it worse to divorce your car crashed wife and then “get younger at that position,” or to get drunk, drive your car into a river and then watch your mistress drown?

First of all, I think your photoshopping a picture of Obama (or anyone!) over the face of Jesus is horribly blashpemous – - and I am probably one of the most liberal Christians you’ll ever meet!
Secondly, I have searched and searched and cannot find a single source that has a shred of proof that Obama’s campaign actually released the prayer – even the newspaper in Israel who said it was stolen, then said it was released, now says it was never approved and released by the campagin! Geesh! Please provide a legitimate reference. Here’s a couple of bloggers who have been discussing and researching it…
