Last week, Barack Obama placed a note with a personal prayer in a crack in the Western Wall. A student took the note and turned it over to some Israeli media outlets. Some of the outlets publicized the note.
This truly raises the question: Is nothing sacred? Many people will place their political spin on this situation. The Obama handlers will express outrage that a personal and private act was stolen and placed into the public arena. They will argue that the sacredness of Obama's prayerful act was hijacked. Of course, others will express that they believe that Obama leaked the note in an effort to gain some publicity. If that is the case, the sacredness of Obama's prayerful act was hijacked - by him rather than others.
