Watch Obama’s note get filched

July

Here’s “videotape”:http://www.abcnews.go.com/ on the ABC News Web site of Barack Obama’s prayer being lifted from the Western Wall in Jerusalem.

The piece of paper was taken from the crevice after Obama walked away. Its contents were published by the daily newspaper Maariv, sparking an uproar over the intrusion into his relationship with God.

“Lord—Protect my family and me,” the unsigned note said. “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.”

It was written on stationery from the King David Hotel.

The video comes from David Cohen and CoVisionsProductions@yahoo.com. Cohen is the brother of The Journal News’ Shawn Cohen.
