First time I saw 10th Mountain Division, you guys were in southern Iraq. When I went back to visit Afghanistan, you guys were the first ones there. 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 problem is, Jared Monti was killed in action in Afghanistan, on June 21, 2006. He was awarded the Medal of Honor posthumously, September 17, 2009. President Obama handed the framed medal to his parents, Paul and Janet Monti. He and the First Lady comforted them in the Oval Office following the ceremony.

What a clod. Obama is so disconnected he doesn't even know WHO he is giving the highest recognition the military can give to and when!

After such a telling Obama “Teachable Moment”, anyone still worried about who the military will obey/support if the Muzzies act up and the Bamster declares martial law to impose collectivism?

This is what happens when the campaigner in chief does not have TOTUS to tell him what to say.

He and the First Lady comforted them in the Oval Office following the ceremony.

What comfort? How can you comfort them when you didn’t even know their son was dead? Odummy could care less and it shows. Anyone who votes for him in 2012 should be horsewhipped!

He’s getting all wrapped up in his own BS.
This is what happens when one lies all the time. It’s hard to tell the difference between what’s real or not.

This is outrageous.

The turkey we have for a CINC can’t take 1 minute to refresh his memory about whom he’s presented the highest honor for bravery to.

Painting Obama as a genius is like trying to pass off a pop tart as french pastry. The MSM, and other liberals with a soapbox should bury their heads in dirt for the ludicrous b.s. they've been trying to propagate about how ‘intellectual’ this White House is, and how eloquent and elegant Obama is as president. It's beyond laughable. At the same time, these vile and poorly informed elitists try to hang the mantle of stupidity on Palin and everyone else they don't like.

Obozo uses the fallen to try to boost his public image.

Bush would visit their families when no one was looking.

Couldn’t be a bigger difference between two people, nor one that tells one more about them.

This isn’t just a passing mistake. It’s the way this guy thinks. Notice that although it’s ostensibly praise of the military, the entire thing is all “I . . . I . . . I . . . I.”

It’s all about me, as usual. The other details don’t really matter.
