I have a feeling this won’t be on CNN’s “Situation Room” any time soon.
If you read the story carefully, the father basically says- My wife sent me an email telling me she asked Obama to stop wearing the bracelet. That’s it. He doesn’t claim he asked Obama to stop and the wife apparently refuses to talk about it because she supports Obama. Unless the father can show the email, there’s really nothing to the story. I can’t understand why some enterprising blogger doesn’t just call the father on the phone.

McCain wouldn’t use this in an ad, but I would.

Family Told Obama NOT To Wear Soldier Son's Bracelet... Remember the debate Friday night, when Senator Obama said, "I have a bracelet too" Good Old WHAT'S HIS NAME? He finally came up with the name of an American Hero Sergeant Ryan David Jopek . Well come to find out Sgt Jopek's mother has asked the Senator to STOP WEARING THE BRACELET because she didn't want it to become a campaign Issue. Obama ignored her request. She has turned down any subsequent interviews with the media because she just didn't want it to get turned into something that it wasn't. She had asked, actually asked Mr. Obama to not wear the bracelet any more at any of his public appearances. And, why is the media not playing this story? The radio show on which this interview is heard happened all the way back in March. How is it the media missed this? Is it because they are also don't want to hurt Obama's campaign? I can only say that if the parents of the soldier whose bracelet John McCain is wearing had said in public that they want him to stop wearing their son's bracelet the news would have been coast to coast. |
You make a good point. Unless the wife confirms what the husband said, it’s a tough story for Fox to tell (I say Fox, because the other “news” media wouldn’t touch it if the wife swore to it on a stack of Bibles). I’ve done some work with Fox, and they are very fastidious about this kind of thing (unlike the other “news” media that report any nasty rumor they can find — or make up — about Sarah).

He won’t because it will blow up in his face- the mother supports Obama. If he tries to use it she’ll just come out and say her ex husband is wrong and she wanted him to have the bracelet and use it. McCain is to smart to be played like that.....
| You are right...must be online only by us the supporters of McCain. Keep the 'question' alive about whether Obama is the correct choice. Some will obviously dismiss this as a whatever, but we will definitely get some of the undecideds with military ties. | |

Hence the ad, which would be deadly to Obama’s presidential aspirations.
Why would you give it to him in the first place?
They should not have given the anti-America/pro-terrorist Obama the bracelet in the first place.
My guess is that he doesn't wear it everyday, or he'd have had the name memorized.
To the critics that say we're making this too big of a deal, honey, it was Obama who made it an issue in the first place and he stepped on his own...er...tongue.
THIS is what will bring down OBAMA:
This is a bombshell!
