The family behind Obama’s bracelet would prefer he stop wearing it. But if he’s going to wear it, the least he could do, I think, is commit the name to memory.
Update: From a reader:
Since the mother is an Obama supporter, I expect right about now Obama is contacting her and instructing her to say he had permission to mention her son’s name in the debate. It’s a total lie, but, as always, he’ll get away with it. As much as I’d like to see Obama taken to task, I hope the McCain campaign doesn’t touch it – it’s just too risky.
Update II: Seems the reader was right.
