So he is exploiting the death of a soldier for his campaign. In the article it says that the mother gave it to him and meant it to be a quiet moment between her and him, wanted Obama to know her son's name, but did not want it to become a media event and have asked Obama to stop wearing the bracelet, but he still wears it. See how he cares about you, Dems?
Exactly...and by Obama wearing it as a "trophy of his compassion" which he can exploit in his campaigning, it is disregarding this family's wishes, which is very disrespectful. Of course, I personally would have never given it to him to begin with, but the woman did not give it to him to wear and parade around. This is the closest that Barack has come to actually serving militarily for this country, so I guess he now considers himself right up there with McCain. IF this was John McCain wearing someone's dead son's bracelet without permission and using it for his own political gain, you're darn right the media, liberal bloggers, and Hollywood would be screaming, shouting, protesting, and probably trying to assassinate the man. Give me a break that this "isn't a big deal"....it IS.

The double standard and dishonesty by Dems when it comes to Obama versus McCain is sickening. Obama can do anything and they think it's fine. Then they attack McCain-Palin over every little thing, LIE about things, twist the trust to make it appear different than it really was, and totally make up things. If those are the kind of follower Obama attracts, what kind of man is Obama?
If you listen and read she asked him to stop because she is being harassed by people like you accusing her of using her son! She can't take the abuse anymore. Aren't you repugs ashamed?

Well, they don't have that much to go on anymore now that their candidate is seriously tanking.
Well, in truth it's sad that they had so little positive to say about their candidate even BEFORE he was tanking. Pretty much all they were posting were attacks on Obama. There was NO enthusiasm for their choice. That's a pretty pathetic state of affairs. At least us Obama supporters LIKE our candidate and are happy with him.
Obama is more of a hack that I thought before.
When he had to look down to read the name was horrible enough, but to hear what really happened...
good grief

Really? Because all I see are attacks on McCain and Palin, not anything discussing why Obama is a good choice.
