Family Told Obama NOT To Wear Soldier Son's Bracelet because he turned it into a Campaign / Media Event!!
Video/Audio of Ryan's father Brian Jopek telling Wisconsin Public Radio that his ex-wife Tracy had misgivings about Obama wearing the bracelet and mentioning their son on the campaign trail. Tracy Jopek supports ending the war so she gave Obama the bracelet but she had wanted it to be a private thing just between them. After Obama mentioned it in a speech Tracy asked Obama not to wear the bracelet. Obama did not honor the fallen soldier's mother request, but to score a "me too" political point he brought up the bracelet in the first presidential debate and also had a hard time remembering Ryan's name

What we have here is a failure to communicate.

Sorry folks. The bracelet was a gift. The new owner (Obama) can do with it what he pleases because it now belongs to him.

IMO, what we have here on Obama’s part is pure arrogance and a disregard for our troops; pure and simple and out there for one and all to see.

Lets give you brownie points for the finer points of personal etiquette. What would we ever do without your expertise? maybe we would miss the whole point of this story?

Is not the REAL STORY that the corrupt mainstream media, biased
beyond all belief, have not covered this story, or any other?

The ex-wife was stupid to give it to him. Someone like John McCain you know would honor it. She couldn’t figure out that piece of crap Obama would exploit it?
To: Gatún(CraigIsaMangoTreeLawyer)
I never heard it before today, so I am glad someone posted it. It's not just a gift, it represented the supreme sacrifice of someone's son. If it was me, I would go ballistic over something like this. To use the life of someone's patriotic son as a cheap political stunt is so far beneath contempt to be beyond any words I could use. Obama couldn't even remember the name on the bracelet and clearly showed he has no understanding of what it means to serve one's country with pride and honor.

Thanks for the post. Although some say they have already seen it , I had not.
To: Pacothecat
What a POS. I know the father, who supports the war is very upset as well.
