Debate video: 'Obama has a bracelet too (he just can't remember the soldier's name on his bracelet)
Topics: Political News and commentariesVia Michelle Malkin, who writes: ""Barack Obama's cringe-inducing "Me, too" moment with his troop bracelet -given to him by the mother of a soldier whose name he can't remember without having to look down and read it. The name of the soldier is Ryan David Jopek.""
Sgt. Jopek's mother is a Democrat who supports Obama, and like Obama, she said she was against the war from the start and had a hard time watching her son go to war.
Here's the video of Obama's "cringe-inducing weird moment":
I didn't know whether I wanted to laugh or be embarrassed for him when I saw and heard him say it in the debate. Marry Katharine Ham had the same impression, saying that she was surprised more haven't mentioned it in post-debate coverage, and that it's something that likely hit some viewers on a gut level and could easily go viral. And she also feels that Obama's answer was flippant and his gesture embarrassing.
Obama is the most disingenuous politician I've ever had the misfortune of observing. He is nothing more than the result of a canned pitch and an orchestrated persona.

Are bracelets the new yellow ribbons or flag pins?

Was he reading the bracelet to recall the name, or just looking down at the bracelet? I can't tell. And it cuts off at that point.
I mean, as much as I find Obama's attitudes loathsome, I don't want him to be presented in a false light. If he was just glancing at the bracelet, I don't want it said that he was reading the name.
