VIDEO: Jared Monti - Obama forgets soldier's heroic death

The Obama Report ^ | 6/23/2011

[Frankusa]

Speaking to soldiers at the Fort Drum army base on Thursday, President Obama stated among other things:

"I had the great honor of seeing some of you because a comrade of yours, Jared Monti, was the first person who I was able to award the Medal of Honor to who actually came back and wasn't receiving it posthumously."

The President apparently had forgotten that Army Staff Sgt. Jared Monti had died a heroic death in Afghanistan while trying to rescue a fellow soldier. Mr. Obama apparently also had forgotten that he had presented a posthumous Medal of Honor to Jared's parents on September 17, 2009, after delivering a speech in which he extolled Jared's heroic deeds: VIDEO

It was that damn corpseman. He gave Obama bad info.

I keep saying, the more Obama is seen and heard, the less we need to worry about 2012. His only chance is to be perceived as a victim of the Republicans and the Tea Party.

Oh but he’s so freaking smart! And all the conservatives are so freaking stupid!

[panthermom]

Wow, he can’t remember who is who. SSgt. Salvatore Guinta was awarded it only recently and he was alive!

He just need to stay as far away from the troops as possible. He has NO respect for them whatsoever and they know it!!!

BTW, do you think the press will hound him like they did Sarah Palin over Paul Revere?

[He Rides A White Horse]

Every time I see the ads with Michelle Obama trying on the 'let's support our boys' stumping, I want to gag.

They are having a tough time with Zero's support; I'll bet many of our servicemen and women are counting the days to the re-up point.

Shut up Chewbacca and go back to what you do best, which was being ashamed of America until your Kenyan Muslim Marxist non-citizen was elected president.

My apologies to Chewbacca. Sorry Chewie.

Disgusting waste of human flesh!

God rest the soul of that hero who was forgotten by the
moron residing in OUR house!

A vacuous midget of a man, no slight to midgets intended!

In contrast, the soldiers outclass him by miles. Underlying the military discipline and good order, I sense the kind of contempt that can only come from a good soldier. Notice the captain behind Obama’s shoulder. She never moves a muscle, her facial expression is, well, stony. But when Obama talks about presenting the decoration to Monti in person, watch her eyes.
Carefully.

There's nothing about this faux pas on AOL News, Yahoo, or Google News. Its as if it never happened.

I've yet to right click on NYTimes.com. Perhaps his gaffe will grace their front page???

''The buck stops anywhere but here.'' -- Barry Soetoro

Our Constitutional Republic is in danger every minute this petulant cipher continues in the White House.

The United States is not engaged in a war with Libya and the War Powers Resolution does not apply to U.S. military action there, according to two White House officials who briefed reporters on Wednesday, June 15, 2011. "We're now in a position where we're operating in a support role. We're not engaged in any of the activities that over history have been considered hostilities under the stature."

You are so right! I was telling my wife yesterday the same thing. She was a lib before we married. I showed her the light and she has converted to the right and is now a rabid conservative!

She is worried that 0bama will get re-elected by lies, theft and outright corruption of the voting process. I told her this clown is showing his complete uselessness everytime he walks up to the mic/teleprompter. He is going to be our best advertisement for why this country needs to get rid of him. We are going to run him out of office in 2012.

And he is going to do most of the heavy lifting!
