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

Or the Mom could be ecstatic about the use of the bracelet and her son, but the ex-husband was talking sh*tc.

Too lazy for html...

Jopek acknowledged e-mailing the Obama campaign in February asking that the presidential candidate not mention her son in speeches or debates. But she said Obama’s mention on Friday was appropriate because he was responding after Sen. John McCain, the Republican nominee, said a soldier’s mother gave him a bracelet.
