Frankly, McCain did the right thing. Just let that comment sit there, and let the viewer think about that.
Historically, the candidate who's most positive about America wins. People heard that line, and seen his "bracelet" moment, and--well, those things stick in your head.

I had to laugh when Obama mentioned his ‘bracelet’ too. He never did actually show it though - did he?
Love your tag line too - it’s new isn’t it?

Yeah, Obama stumbling over the name of the soldier on the bracelet was telling. McCain’s love for veterans seemed honest. Eye-opening was McCain’s words regarding Obama and Iraq...did he or didn’t he sit down with Petreus (sp?)...thought McCain leveled Obama with the statement that Obama never met with him...something along those lines. Taken together with his fumbling over the soldier’s name—he wasn’t wearing the bracelet, was he?—and McCain’s obvious empathy for vets, Obama’s bumper sticker rhetoric fell far short. I thought McCain’s parting words will be remembered, at least by me...”I know how to heal the wounds of war...” etc.
McCain saying Obama is so far to the left he has a hard time reaching that far across the aisle was a hoot.
Obama, on the other hand, is an empty man whose appeal to envy and resentment, along with his bumper sticker rhetoric, coupled with the threat of riots, his impatience and rude interruptions, along with some of the other actions of his campaign...apparently are not enough to convince those being polled that he is the wrong choice.
Go figure.
