With all the things he's "passed" on, I'm surprised he actually went to this.

[lilycicero]

I’m surprised they shook his hand.

[Darkwolf377]

No offense to you for posting this, but when I see him there, in that place, with those men? I don’t think it’s funny. All I feel is this sense of embarassment.

Caption Obama’s next photo op

[Blood of Tyrants]

Is this supposed to make up for trying to shaft veterans with service related injuries and illnesses?

From American Thinker, September 16, 2008
Article: Obama's Foul Weather Friends
By Scott Swett and Roger Canfield

"As a gesture of solidarity, the Vietnamese who [Bernardine] Dohrn met in Budapest presented her with a ring made from an American aircraft shot down over North Vietnam. Bill Ayers would receive a similar ring while meeting with Vietnamese communists in Toronto. He later recalled being so moved by the gesture that he 'left the room to cry.' "

Politico reported today that he made an “unscheduled stop” as it was not on his agenda

[areukiddingme1]

The closest he will ever be to real Honor and Courage!

He should sit down, shut up, and listen to these men! — He might actually learn something worth while — Those are men you can proud of associating with — He was in the presence of real Americans!

SURPRISE EVENT:Obama unannounced visit..Arlington..MOH ceremony -WH left off of schedule today

[philman_36]

I could be bowling. I'm stuck here instead, having to fake my sincerity.

[muir_redwoods]

These honorees have dealt with much worse it's humbling to see them display such continuing forbearance.

Bless them.

[autumnraine]

I’ll caption it

Nothing to mock here. Obama is a jerk. Obama is anti-military. Obama showed up to honor those men and made them obviously very proud.

Credit when credit is due.

Nothing funny to caption at all.

[Michael.SF.]

No Caption, just a comment:

Obama knows he disrespected these men by not going to their Inaugural Ball, as all Presidents since Eisenhower have. He is simply trying to recover from that huge mistake.

These men will have the grace to treat him with the dignity the office deserves, even though he disrespected them, and the Democrats for 8 years disrespected President Bush.

President Barack Obama shakes hands with Medal of Honor recipient Bob Howard,

More on Mr. Bob Howard:

The President of the United States in the name of The Congress takes pride in presenting the MEDAL OF HONOR to:

FIRST LIEUTENANT

ROBERT L. HOWARD
UNITED STATES ARMY

for service as set forth in the following CITATION:

For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity in action at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty. 1st Lt. Howard (then Sfc .), distinguished himself while serving as platoon sergeant of an American-Vietnamese platoon which was on a mission to rescue a missing American soldier in enemy controlled territory in the Republic of Vietnam. The platoon had left its helicopter landing zone and was moving out on its mission when it was attacked by an estimated 2-company force. During the initial engagement, 1st Lt. Howard was wounded and his weapon destroyed by a grenade explosion. 1st Lt. Howard saw his platoon leader had been wounded seriously and was exposed to fire. Although unable to walk, and weaponless, 1st Lt. Howard unhesitatingly crawled through a hail of fire to retrieve his wounded leader. As 1st Lt. Howard was administering first aid and removing the officer's equipment, an enemy bullet struck 1 of the ammunition pouches on the lieutenant's belt, detonating several magazines of ammunition. 1st Lt. Howard momentarily sought cover and then realizing that he must rejoin the platoon, which had been disorganized by the enemy attack, he again began dragging the seriously wounded officer toward the platoon area. Through his outstanding example of indomitable courage and bravery, 1st Lt. Howard was able to rally the platoon into an organized defense force. With complete disregard for his safety, 1st Lt. Howard crawled from position to position, administering first aid to the wounded, giving encouragement to the defenders and directing their fire on the encircling enemy. For 3 1/2 hours 1st Lt. Howard's small force and supporting aircraft successfully repulsed enemy attacks and finally were in sufficient control to permit the landing of rescue helicopters. 1st Lt. Howard personally supervised the loading of his men and did not leave the bullet-swept landing zone until all were aboard safely. 1st Lt. Howard's gallantry in action, his complete devotion to the welfare of his men at the risk of his life were in keeping with the highest traditions of the military service and reflect great credit on himself, his unit, and the U.S. Army.

"Mr. President, sir, from your hands I can tell
you've never done an honest day's work in your life..."

[gate2wire]

These men are being honored by the President of the United States of America...

Love him or hate him, he did the right thing.

To the MOH recipients...From a grateful nation, Thank You.

[Old Sarge]

Memo to The One (piss be upon him):

You don’t deserve to stand next to those men.

You don’t deserve to call yourself their leader.

You are illegitimate, ineligible, and illegally holding that office.

We know it. And so do you.

And so do those men.

[Tainan]

Sorry...I cannot do it for a memorial to these gentlemen.

[Lizavetta]

Yoo hoo....yet another occasion where Zero needs guidance from his teleprompter on what do do and say.

[Dixie Yooper]

Sorry, I refuse to see anything but Brave Men receiving the Highest Honor from the Commander and Chief on Very Sacred Ground.

Obama: "Hi there! You were great in 'Medal of Honor' and the sequel too."
