What a disgrace.

Agreed, I saw a great comic the other day on FR that showed a tiny Barack under the giant presence of Reagan and another great president meeting a tiny Carter by happenstance. The caption: "Fancy meeting you here".

I think Carter can finally say there has been a worse president than himself.

From Wikipedia...

Four medals have been awarded for action in Afghanistan, and a fifth has been announced but not yet presented.

  1. Navy SEAL Lieutenant Michael P. Murphy -- Bush, 10/22/07
  2. Army Sergeant First Class Jared C. Monti -- Obama, 7/24/09, Posthumous
  3. Army Staff Sergeant Robert James Miller -- Obama, Posthumous
  4. Army Staff Sergeant Salvatore Giunta -- Obama, 11/16/10
  5. Army Sergeant First Class Leroy Petry (Pending)

Since Vietnam, only one living person has been awarded the Medal of Honor (Giunta).

Keeping track of three of the Nation's most honorable men, two of whom died for their country. Is that simple respect so difficult to master?

What? He was just one of the soldiers in the unbroken line of fallen heroes, many of which he saw in the audience today. We’ve known about his clairvoyance since the campaign days.

There is no excusing this. If he can’t distinguish between the two brave soldiers and remember their names, he doesn’t deserve to be the Commander-in-Chief. How to you forget and confuse what should have been two special and unique moments in time.

“In my time of service....” “I keep running into you guys.....” When I went to Iraq.....” “When I presented the Medal of Honor....”

Is it EVER not all about him?

What a sad, pathetic little man-child - always trying to make himself look important! I could feel sorry for him except for what he is doing to our country!

The meaning was clear when the DUmocrats said after 9-11 that they "LOVE New York"...

We know what DUmocrat LIEberals mean when they claim to "support the war on terrorism"...

DUmocrat LIEberals leave no doubt about what they mean when they "support the troops"...

Besides talking about himself, how does the repeated “you guys” resonate? I feel it is condescending, and the One does not even know that he is expressing his disrespect for men and women wearing our nation’s uniform.

Lord, please forgive me for hating Obama more than any other human on the face of the planet. Amen.

He needs to go the hell away and resign into solitude. He is a national disgrace and has done more harm to this country than all previous presidents combined.

Gaffe puts it more accurately than some others who have suggested that Obama "misspoke."

It’s only been 7 months since he hogged the stage at the ceremony for the only living Medal of Honor winner!

What does it tell you when a Commander in Chief can’t remember the first Medal of Honor he presented posthumously ?

Did just the same.... and am in total agreement about his needing to simply step down.

May God give us the strength to survive this dangerous, self important idiot.

I watched the video with the sound off

he is obviously bluffing his way through a situation in which he knows he is not qualified

he's got more cajones than brains, this has been his modus operandi probably his entire conscious life

he knows he can mesmerize a crowd ... all those guilty whites...all those resentful blacks and browns...he plays them ...substitutes what he doesn't know or feel, with disarming humor, homie talk, jive, “attempted” self deprecation (this falls flat because he is such a narcissist he cannot REALLY put himself down...

This wizard of oz routine put him into the Wh and has worked for him.... up until now

People know he is a fraud
He knows he is a fraud
and now, he knows THEY know he is a fraud

Obama will surely have a reasonable explanation:

“Giunta, Monti ... all those dago names sound the same to me. How come we can’t have Medal of Honor winners with real American names, like Obama?”

(BTW, the worst part of such an offensive statement would be that referring to recipients of the Medal of Honor as “Medal of Honor winners.”)

I guess that we should consider ourselves lucky that Obama didn’t say that he had awarded a Medal of Honor to “a Lieutenant Posthumous,” and wondering whether he was any relation to former Michigan Lieutenant Governor Dick Posthumus.
