Obama: Just Words, Just Speeches, Just Gaffes?

Senator Barack Hussein Obama is just another Chicago political hack and thug. He is best described as ‘the best orator a teleprompter can produce.’ He has made many gaffes during this campaign, but they are all ignored by the leftist mainstream media types. They are extremely biased toward him, wanting him to be elected our next President. Why not? They are predominately socialists driven by Marxist ideology. Here is one of the gaffes, which he made during Friday’s first McCain-Obama debate in Mississippi.

NewsBusters.com (the Media Research Center) reported (article titled, "Family Told Obama NOT To Wear Soldier Son's Bracelet... Where is Media?") Sunday (9/28/08) that the family of the soldier named on the bracelet worn by Barack Hussein Obama had requested that he NOT wear their son's bracelet any longer. They see him having used it for political gain as demonstrated somewhat ineffectively during the debate on Friday. Obama is a cheap two-bit politician, a punk, as shown by his using anything true or false to get elected. What a sham, what a shame!

"I've Got a Bracelet, Too" (Obama)


Here is a transcript of the above YouTube video:

MCCAIN: He was 22 years old and he was killed in combat outside of Baghdad, Matthew Stanley, before Christmas last year. This was last August, a year ago. And I said, “I will — I will wear his bracelet with honor.”

And this was August, a year ago. And then she said, “But, Senator McCain, I want you to do everything — promise me one thing, that you’ll do everything in your power to make sure that my son’s death was not in vain.”

That means that that mission succeeds, just like those young people who re-enlisted in Baghdad, just like the mother I met at the airport the other day whose son was killed. And they all say to me that we don’t want defeat.

A war that I was in, where we had an Army, that it wasn’t through any fault of their own, but they were defeated. And I know how hard it is for that — for an Army and a military to recover from that. And it did and we will win this one and we won’t come home in defeat and dishonor and probably have to go back if we fail.

OBAMA: Jim, let me just make a point. I’ve got a bracelet, too, from Sergeant - from the mother of Sergeant Ryan David Jopeck, sure another mother is not going through what I’m going through.

I like the comment made by Ed Morrissey on the HotAir.com website.

“Now, the point here was valid — not all Gold Star Mothers agree on Iraq, Cindy Sheehan being the most outré example of Obama’s constituency among them. Unfortunately, Obama fumbled the delivery on two points. First, his “I’ve got a bracelet, too” sounded whiny, childish, and petulant. Obama wanted to one-up McCain rather than make his point, and it came out defensive and petty instead of presidential.

“Obama clearly prepared for this moment, knowing McCain would discuss his bracelet, but in those preparations, Obama didn’t commit the soldier’s name to memory. He had to look down at his bracelet to remember the name. McCain didn’t have to do that, which made Obama look much more manipulative in his presentation. It was a “tell”, a poker term for an involuntary physical manifestation of a player’s hand.

“Will this be a defining moment of this debate? Perhaps, although I doubt it will get much attention outside of the blogosphere . . .”
