OBAMA: On this Memorial Day, as our nation honors its unbroken line of fallen heroes — and I see many of them in…in the audience here today — our sense of patriotism is particularly strong.
RUSH: Now, a lot of people say, ‘Rush, don’t harp on this. He’s just trying to be nice.’ Look, I wouldn’t harp on it if this wasn’t gaffe number one million. I don’t think he knows what Memorial Day is. We honor the dead who have served the country; they can’t possibly be anywhere where Obama sees them.
(interruption) Yes! What do you mean…? Do I mean what?
I don’t think he understands. I think he probably confuses Memorial Day and Veterans Day. Memorial Day he probably thinks we’re saluting all veterans, and that we do it again on Veterans Day. I know he’s running for president, but what percentage of high school graduates — whether they can read their diplomas or not — even know what Memorial Day is? And you know that by the time Obama gets to university such as, where did he go, Harvard? Those people hate the military there. They do everything to keep recruiters off campus. They probably disparage Memorial Day and all sorts of things because we’re celebrating, you know, warriors and barbarians and rapists and murderers — which is the left’s view of the US military. Let me put it this way, Snerdley, I wouldn’t be surprised if he doesn’t know what Memorial Day is. But it’s even worse if he does know, if he knows we’re honoring the dead. Because somebody wrote the damn speech! He doesn’t do a speech like this that is not written, somebody had to write the thing.
Here, listen to this again and imagine any Republican saying this.

I know he sees dead voters...
“Corpse-men”
The smartest President evah, according to the Leftist media.
So I just featured that on my FB page.
Let the games begin.
Our local news in Central Florida, the dumb black female thanked all the dead veterans for their service! You can’t thank them you honor them. Stoopid people are stupid.
Make excuses for him? Really....takes about two minutes to look up the meaning of Memorial Day.
Not to say this mind thinks along the same high road as El Rushbo, but the two of us were remembering the same words/situation and sharing a snicker and smirk. BO’B is often confused, always a combatant of American greatness and history. (corpsmen)
Obama never understood us because he is not one of us.
There were very good reasons for the founders to insist on someone who was NATURALLY an American because they COULD NOT be anything else.
NATURALLY a citizen because they had only ONE nationality.
Natural born citizens are naturally citizens because they are born here of citizen parents and CANNOT be anything else.
OBAMA: Our nation honors its unbroken line of fallen heroes.
Isis?
More than ten years after it happened, this is the first time I ever heard about this Obama gaffe. The MSM really protect their own.
