It gave the impression that the only reason he is wearing the bracelet is just so he can tell a story for votes.
I thought the quote of the night, that highlights Obama’s total lack of judgement and naivety, was
“So we sit down with Iran and they say they’ll wipe Israel off the face of the map and we [Obama] say “no you won’t”.
I'm picturing a whole staff of advisors crawling all over McCain studying his profile to pick out weaknesses. Once of them noticed the bracelet and had a groupd of slaving interns check it out and find out what it was for. The report comes back to the staffer. 20 minutes before the debate he goes to Obama and says "Here, put this on and when you hear McCain say 'bracelet' check your notes at ref#..."
And Iran glares at Obama, sets the timer on its watch, and Obama says: Gotta go! Got a plane to catch! Let's do lunch!
