The debate, Part 3

Posted September 27th, 2008 at 11:31 AM by Jon Ham

A commenter on HotAir.com had this to say about Obama’s “bracelet” moment:

A lot can be summed up by the bracelet moment.
McCain shared a personal moment that had meaning in the symbol of a bracelet he wore at the request of a parent. A parent who lost a son in a war.
Obama,, pathetically, without even knowing it, demeaned the death of a soldier by casually saying, “I have a bracelet too, (no big deal) it’s uh, here on my, uh wrist, sergeant, uh what his name?…”
That moment exposed the community agitator for what he was. Empty.

I think a lot of people saw it that way. I know my wife did, as I mentioned last night.
