But, but, I have been told time and again that this person is of superior intellect...what a joke! Too bad that our military heros have to be subjected to his “hogwash!”

But the NYTimes told me that Obama was smart and Palin was the stupid one, and whatever the Times says must be right, right? /sarc

Obama doesn't give a damn about our Military. This might be this guy's ugliest statement to date, and the MSM is silent.

Has Obama even apologized?

Here's a transcript of what he said about Jared Monti. How could he forget he died, unless he didn't mean a word if it?
