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 wasnt 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.

Yes, but it is really Bush’s fault!
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?
The teleprompter mislead him...
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.
The cocaine and marijuana use is caqtching up with Ø. Wonder how Monti’s parents felt to know their son was alive?....ooops.
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.
“He and the First Lady comforted them in the Oval Office following the ceremony.”
I remember the picture. Mooschelle was dressed like she was going to a beach party.
Substitute crap tart and you are dead on.
..big eared stoopid a&&wipe
I heard this all over the news today......nope, Chris Wallace is on FNC and ABCCBSCNNNBCPBSNPR covered the Bieber attack.
BUT....BUT....THAT’S WHAT THE TELEPROMPTER SAID!!!!
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.
These two make me so sick. There ignorance is only surpassed by the ugliness they have inside and out.
I meant “their”. See how they upset me....geez
I wonder if he said anything about the corpse men.
