The shout out was NOT to a veteran. BHO claimed the individual was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor. In fact, the person was awarded a Congressional Gold Medal. Big difference...

I think his first shoutout was to a veteran in the audience

“...was awarded a Congressional Gold Medal.”

Wow! Why does this medal remind me of an old movie where Crazy Horse comes into the Fort and they have a big ceremony and the guy from Washington gives him a big shiny medal the size of a dinner plate? A few weeks later he’s off to the reservation.

Thanks for the correction! I will admit that I wasn’t paying close enough attention to Dear Leader’s remarks as I was also freeping, talking to my cousin whose son is at Ft. Hood, and seriously struggling to keep my jaw from hitting the ground as I watched him give ‘shout outs’ to his staff and the conference organizers :-)

I just reviewed the video...you are right he did say “Congressional Medal of Honor,” and yes Mr. Joe Medicine Crow is instead the recipient of a “Congressional Gold Medal.” Wowsa, BO is disgustingly clueless.
