In his newest, since yesterday, incarnation, the Obamessiah went to the Wailing Wall to try to shore up flagging support from Jews. In trying to fight smears and racism some believe caused by Obama's anti-Semitic past and his close friendships and associations with Louis Farrakhan and Jeremiah Wright, Obama was ready to do some political self-humbling for support.
Obama Visits Western Wall
At 5:11 am, Obama --a white yarmulke atop his head, a pack of Secret Service agents surrounding him -- walked from the motorcade with a small group of men to a sectioned off area of the Western wall of the Temple Mount, traditionally considered the last remnant of the Holy Temple.
Men and women are separated at the Wall, and a female Secret Service agent and two female Obama communications staffers went to the women's side.
One of the men with Obama, Rabbi Shmuel Rabinovich, the Rabbi of the Wall, read Psalm 122 to the small group from a Bible, "A Song of Ascents of David."
"I rejoiced with those who said to me, 'Let us go to the house of the Lord,'" read the Rabbi. "Our feet are standing in your gates, O Jerusalem."
Rabinovich gave Obama a big book that described thie history of the Wall.
The pre-dawn sky was dark.
It appears at that point Obama changed his name to Baruch Hillel Oshiya or Barry Goldstein or something. Also, it is not clear if the name change is permanent or if Michelle (henceforth Malka) had signed off on the deal.
Unfortunately, most didn't buy the self-humbling.
And then one man at the Wall began screaming: "Obama, Jerusalem is our land! Obama, Jerusalem is not for sale!"
Baruch didn't think that very pious.
"It was rowdier than the last time I was there, you know?" Obama told reporters on the plane. "I mean, people were sort of, like, holerin'. You know I was expecting more reverence."
Baruch was on to the next miracle. Or next 'crap shoot' as Baruch puts it. And the media keeps buying it.
