Obama Gives Shout Out to 'Congressional Medal of Honor Winner' Who Isn't

The Washington Post this afternoon reported "President Obama delivers remarks on Ft. Hood shooting at end of tribal leaders conference." The transcript begins:

SPEAKER: PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA

[*] OBAMA: "Please, everybody, have a seat. Let me first of all just thank Ken and the entire Department of the Interior staff for organizing just an extraordinary conference."

"I want to thank my Cabinet members and senior administration officials who participated today. I hear that Dr. Joe Medicine Crow (ph) was around, and so I want to give a shout out to that Congressional Medal of Honor winner. It's good to see you."

Ah, the dangers of giving shout outs without a teleprompter. Crow is not a Medal of Honor recipient. As noted by the Congressional Medal of Honor Society:

Crow's name is not included on the Society's Medal of Honor recipient list. He was, however, awarded the Medal of Freedom, the nation's highest civilian honor, in August.

Obama, often described as "cerebral" by the mainstream media, should know the difference between the Medal of Honor and the Medal of Freedom, especially since he personally awarded the latter to Crow.

Must have been speaking without the teleprompter.

Please. To compare TOTUS to a clown, is an insult to the clown profession.

First of all, Obama has no business awarding a medal of FREEDOM award to anyone. Second, if he awards anyone anything, it is political payback. Third, he probably has no clue as to the significance of THE MEDAL OF HONOR.

Remember, he blew off the MOH Inaugural Ball. I am actually happy he did not soil that event with his presence.

The transcript doesn’t do justice to the cheerful, almost flippant, tone the Fool-in-Chief set for his ‘statement’...

Hey Obozo, you don’t “shout out” to a Congressional Medal Winner, you salute. Even you.

hussein DIDN’T KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BECAUSE HE DOES NOT CARE AND DOES NOT RESPECT AMERICA OR HER HIGHEST HONORS.

Obama will again address this tragedy during his next round of golf.

Yeah, I posted about this on another thread yesterday.

Also calls him a Congressional Medal of Honor winner, apparently not knowing that decorations for valor are awarded, not "won". Then again he doesn't know proper flag/national anthem protocol either, preferring the 2 handed testicle grab to the hand on heart thingy.

Rather significant difference between the 2 medals wouldn’t you say?? O doesn’t get such distinctions, concentrating, as always, on himself...

If he was on teleprompter, it was set to a very slow scroll. After he did his little ‘shout out’ schtick for a few minutes and acknowledged the shooting, he droned on with long pauses (he is trying to suppress his ‘uhs’) and seemed in a trance. It was sickening watching him accept applause, banter with the crowd and then pretend he cared about the soldiers.

So he delayed his remarks about the Ft. Hood shooting to give a “shout out” boo-boo? Figures. And I loved the way in the video I watched yesterday he even regretted that the tragedy was taking him away from his prepared remarks. Classy.

This zero dirtbag is a TOTAL “Richard Cranium.”

Wher did the idea come from that he is such a good speaker ... broken, stop and start pharases that do not flow smoothly .... Jerking like a misadjusted clutch on a 62 Ford Fairlane.

I guesss it is because he sends tingles up the media’s legs. The last thing I want ... is the adoration from the moron media. Kiss of death.

“Hey I see we have Hassan in the crowd. Stand up Hassan and let everyone see you. Thanks for serving on my transition team”.

It's not like Hasan was all bad. Besides being a follower of our Dear Leader, the shooter has done significant work in the field of population control to combat global warming.

Dumb-Ass-In-Chief (this was like biden's goof, "Stand up Joe!").

Idiots all.

Of course, with hussein's Pravda-like msm, there will be many people in the FIFTY-SEVEN states who will never hear about this.
