Obama uses dead soldier's bracelet for politics

Did you see this exchange in the debate, when Obama counters McCain's comments about honoring our war dead with "I've got a bracelet, too," and then actually had to read the bracelet to remember the name on it?

It gets worse. Far worse. The mother of the dead soldier whose bracelet Obama is wearing specifically asked him not to wear it. And he's still wearing it, even boasting about in the debate.

From Townhall.com:
As it turns out, he is wearing the bracelet in defiance of the wishes of the dead soldier's family (HT: NewsBusters). The mother of Sgt. Ryan David Jopek of Wisconsin -- who is herself an Obama supporter -- personally asked Barack not to wear the bracelet. Yet he did so anyway -- and then used it to try to score political points.
If you've been wondering how low Obama will go to win an election, we still don't know.
