No, No Surprise Here at All

Isn’t this just the kind of thing one would expect from a mealy mouthed liberal upstart like Barack Obama? Yes, it is just what one would expect, but that doesn’t make it any less despicable.

Barack Obama has been wearing a bracelet from a soldier killed in Iraq. Sergeant Ryan David Jopek was killed by an IED explosion in 2006. The problem is, according to the story linked above, the family of Sgt. Jopek asked Obama not to wear it. Apparently the family of Sgt. Jopek, and his mother in particular, are quite taken aback an upset about Obama’s use of their son as a campaign prop. So am I, and I’m sure a lot of other Americans are as well.

I think this points out something I’ve believed all along. Senator Obama has no honor. He’ll say or do anything to get what he wants, including dishonoring this brave soldier and his family. I’m sure this won’t get widespread coverage in the MSM, but enough noise can be made about it so enough people will get the message. Barack Obama: Dishonoring American Troops Since 2001.

Gateway Pundit has a take on this, you just know Hot Air has something to say about it, and Michelle Malkin is, as always, a crack shot with a keyboard.

On the other side, here’s something else I don’t find surprising at all. In fact, it makes perfect sense. You see, some people do have integrity and honor.
