I just happened to be in the room when my wife was watching The View today and they were discussing Obama and that prayer in the wall issue in Israel. I was stunned to see that they were reporting that Obama, himself, had released the prayer to the media.
Now this may not seem like a big deal but I do not have the literary skills to describe the looks of disappointment on the faces of the panel (except for Elizabeth who was feigning deep concern about his morals but I digress). My wife even looked at me and said "Is it true?" with a childish innocence that broke my heart.
Anyway I sprung into action and found that the story was disproven and that the Israeli newspaper had lied. What happened next was very unusual.
My wife was so pissed when she heard that she immediately sprung up to email The View to correct the record. Now, folks, whatever the definition of an "activist" is, my wife is the exact opposite. She rarely emails anyone for anything and does not use social networking sites like facebook for fear that some boogey man is going to get her. So for her to feel compelled to respond to this told me how powerful the segment could be and how bad it could be for Obama.
As for me, I was a little more controlled because I am getting used the Obama smear machine called the media. Anyway that does not negate the fact that we need to act on this.
Seeing my wife's reaction tells me that we have to respond to this one. Please email email or call the folks at the view and let them know that they need to correct the record with their audience.
We cannot let this one pass. The fight goes on guys. We have to remain strong and not let down our guard. We are fighting such a concerted effort against Obama that none of us can afford to not respond to this muck. This is a call to action!
Below is the view contact info I have. If you have any additional contact info for the program or the ladies themselves please place in the comments section and I will update.
