BS. She is an Obama supporter and self-described political junkie. Read this story, which was written on February 18, 2008. Why Obama wears a fallen soldier's bracelet
I suspect that the Obama campaign initiated this bracelet scam.
It could be, if you could find the coffin. Unfortunately, the media keeps hiding it.
Has anyone gotten the audio to play? WMP and Quicktime wont play it here
So...we should have a McCain ad exploiting the father to reinforce the fact that the scumbag 0bama is using grieving families for political gain?
Bumpy to the skinny little kid abusing soldiers. The media ought to be playing this one hard. Where is BOR reporting on this one?
If he’ll disrespect soldiers while trying to get votes, imagine what he’ll do for them if he becomes President.
“Now, now, you people. Quit nit picking obama for having a lapse of memory. You should focus on the issues instead of petty little ‘gotchas’.
Never mind that the propaganda machine of the left is trying to destroy Sarah Palin by inventing lies whole cloth...
BUMP
Another BUMP
bump
I give thanks that there are such fine men and women like SGT Jopek willing to protect us.
And I wish I had words to comfort SGT Jopek's mom... like many parent's, with each deployment, I pray my son returns unharmed.
To pile insult onto injury here, the Mother doesn't even want to force the issue of telling Obama to stop exploiting her son because she wants to see him win the election. Obama is not only taking advantage of this brave soldier's death, he is taking advantage of the good wishes of the man's Mother who doesn't want to hurt the campaign.
So we have a case here of the father who's not a fan of Obama, and the mother who is - but neither of whom want their son exploited. The mother may be a "political junkie", but for the time being it sounds like she actually wants to preserve some dignity for her son and doesn't want to fashion herself into another Cindy Sheehan.
Here is what I think happened. When Obama was campaigning in WI, the mother, Tracy Jopek, approached Obama or one of his campaign staff to relate her feelings about the loss of her son. The Obama campaign, well aware of the fact that McCain uses his bracelet as a standard part of his campaign stump speech, decided that they could counter McCain's emotional appeal as to why victory in Iraq was needed, i.e., so the sacrifice of these brave men and women are not in vain. Obama could now have his own bracelet, with a different emotional message, i.e., we need to get out of Iraq so no more brave Americans die in vain. They then suggested to the mother that they would be willing to have Obama wear a bracelet similar to the one McCain wears. She agreed. I am curious as to who had the bracelet made [payed for it] and when.
The mother, supposedly, is not answering questions from the media. I believe she is trying to hide the details as to how the bracelet idea came about. Her son had died two years earlier in August 2006.
I wonder if there is ANY hope that there is a journalist in the mainstream liberal media that will break ranks and risk his or her job to level with his or her audience. We need help in getting these personal stories of barak out to the nation since the liberal press is doing everything possible to keep barak's background a secret. The bracelet story makes me feel very sad for the soldier's family. How helpless they must feel. They have no help from the press.Must be how the proud parents of fallen soldiers (heros) feel when cindy sheehan degrades their children with mock grave markers.
And on top of it, he can't even remember the soldier's name. I'd love to see an ad from McCain on this.
Maybe when Obama in the debate glanced at the Hero bracelet he wore it was not to recall the name of Sgt. Ryan Jopeck, but in a moment of guilt over still wearing the bracelet that he was asked to remove by the family.
It didn’t last long.
Anything's possible. Looks to me so far that Dad just doesn't like Obama, and Mom may be having second thoughts about having her son so prominently displayed. We'll see how it plays out.
