    Yes, really.

    It's almost as irritating as the Obama campaign decision to use the western wall as a campaign stop.

    It was wrong to steal and publish the prayer.

    But it is a wonderful prayer.

    What a tasteless thing to do. People act like anyone in the public eye have no right to any privacy or personal space. Shame on the thieving student and the publishers.

    If anyone believes that any of this was an accident I have some swamp land for you..... I think its a pretty clever attempt to try and gather some votes from the right. Please know that I am not any more skeptical about Obama than I would be about McCain should he decide to pull off such a tactic. There are no good choices in this election.

    Thank you for saying this. I thought about saying something very similar to this yesterday, but decided that I always sound so skeptical that I would just leave it alone. I have to agree with this 100%. I don't think the newspaper breached and publishing ethics by printing the prayer.

    I don't exactly see it as a campaign tactic.

    I think that place/wall has significant meanings for different people, no matter your religion. Who is to say it wasn't that he really felt a spiritual pull to be there.

    I think it's a shame that it had to be publicized. Prayer and/or reflection is something that should be a private matter, no matter who you are.
