Obama's letter to God - a little bit of 'sugar'

From the U.K. Telegraph a photograph of the note Barack Obama left in Jerusalem's Wailing Wall:
"Lord – Protect my family and me. 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."

Call me cynical, but I refuse to believe that such an astute campaigner as Obama didn't expect that this 'note' would be retrieved and published.
