Update: 12:24am. Obama is heckled at the Western Wall. Photo-op ruined. But will the slavering American media report it? The Times of London has the story: “The US presidential nominee was heckled as he visited the Western Wall in the early hours of Thursday morning, bowing his head in prayer and observing traditional custom by placing a folded piece of paper into the crevice of the wall. Orthodox men interrupted their morning prayers to catch a glimpse of the Illinois senator, reaching out to shake his hand as he passed them by. But not all were taken by the Democrat. One yelled out: ‘Obama, Jerusalem is not for sale!’ before Mr Obama was whisked away to his waiting plane.”

I did read about the one crazy man who yelled at Obama in at the Wailing Wall in the New York Times.

I think it was necessary for Obama to tour countries with strong American interests for two reasons: one it helps with his foreign policy knowledge, and two, it helps to make him look like he has foreign policy knowledge.

As for the popularity in Germany and other places: what do you expect? A Bush love-in?
