Did Obama Use Dead Soldier In Debate Over Objections Of His Family?
How crass is Obama and his news media puppets? Remember that “I have a bracelet too” moment when Obama couldn’t remember the name of the dead soldier he was about to use as a PR stunt? Seems the family of that fallen hero has asked Obama to stop wearing it and using their dead son as prop:
Shockingly, however, Madison resident Brian Jopek, the father of Ryan Jopek, the young soldier who tragically lost his life to a roadside bomb in 2006, recently said on a Wisconsin Public Radio show that his family had asked Barack Obama to stop wearing the bracelet with his son’s name on it. Yet Obama continues to do so despite the wishes of the family.
Jopek began by saying that his ex-wife was taken aback, even upset, that Obama has made the death of her son a campaign issue. Jopek says his wife gave Obama the bracelet because “she just wanted Mr. Obama to know Ryan’s name.” Jopek went on to say that “she wasn’t looking to turn it into a big media event” and “just wanted it to be something between Barack Obama and herself.” Apparently, they were all shocked it became such a big deal.
Obama uses people for his own power grab. Â Don’t most politicians?
“Don’t most politicians?”
This sentence undermines the whole point of this, yet another Obama disgrace.
Most politicians are not as low as Obama. Reid, Pelosi and the Democratic leadership, yes, but not most politicians.

I would agree but expand it to each and every member of the ‘Progressive Caucus’.
I realize that the “truth” isn’t really important to Republicans anymore, but just in case you were curious, that soldier’s Mom just said yesterday that she’s proud of what Obama said in the debate.
I have to say, the manufactured outrage is just getting weak around here.
