Family Told Obama NOT To Wear Soldier Son's Bracelet... Where is Media?

What kind of “set up” do you have in mind? That the right will jump on Obama for continuing to use the bracelet and Sgt. Jopek’s name in public events, and then the mother will suddenly emerge to say Obama still has her support and permission to do this?

No, I believe the set up was that the Obama campaign initiated the bracelet idea when the mother approached them at the Obama rally in WI. They wanted to have their own prop to counter McCain's. I don't believe the father is properly representing his ex-wife's position. And yes, if pressed she will deny it and say she has no problem with Obama using the bracelet.

The ex-husband has said she asked Obama to stop. I suppose then it could turn into a really ugly matter of “he said, she said” which the media would blame on those mean Republicans for bringing it all up in the first place?

I would let the MSM carry the water on this, but I certainly would somehow get someone to look into the issue of who initiated the bracelet request and when/where the bracelet was fabricated and who payed for it. If it were discovered that the Obama campaign had initiated this, then all hell would break loose.

If you want word of young Jopek’s father wanting Obama to stop wearing his son’s bracelet, call the news in to Rush Limbaugh (or another radio host of your choosing). No TV network, including Fox, will carry this story unless Dad comes on and tells it in person. They don’t want to fight a thousand lawyers.

Wow...

I hate when people use wtf abbreviations.. we are above that.

Sung to the tune of “Do You Want to Know a Secret”

You need to know how much I really love them
You need to know how much I really care

Listen (do wah do) do you want to know a secret (do wah do)
I’ll break my promise not to tell (whoa…oo…oo)
Closer (do wah do) look at my wrist to read the name (do wah do)
I hope this doesn’t sound to lame
I’ve got a bracelet too (oo oo ah oo oo)

I’ve had this bracelet for a week or two
Now ya’ll know, I’ve got one too (oo)

Listen (do wah do) do you want to know a secret (do wah do)
I’ll break my promise not to tell (whoa…oo…oo)
Closer (do wah do) look at my wrist read the name (do wah do)
I hope this doesn’t sound to lame
I’ve got a bracelet too (oo oo ah oo)
