President Obama, at recent campaign stops, has pointed out that his hair is now getting gray, a sign of how he has aged and the toll taken by his job. But on Thursday, the president had a different kind of senior moment.
Speaking at Ft. Drum in upstate New York, Obama thanked troops from the 10th Mountain Division for their deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan. To hammer home his point, he told a story of awarding the Medal of Honor to a living member of the division.
Obama, however, misspoke. he did award the medal, but posthumously.

He’ll have it blamed on a speechwriter. Nothing is ever HIS fault.
That was just a “Post Craino-rectal Inversion Recovery” side effect.
That gray hair is the result of playing too many exhausting rounds of golf.
May I be the first? . . . . “Can you imagine if Sarah Palin had done this? Stupid Wasilla Barbie.”
He is lying again.
He was dying his hair before he stopped dying it.
Actually, Jay Carney blamed it on the lack of a speechwriter.
I can’t remember the last time I had a senior moment.
More like a continuous infantile life!
WHERE WAS TOTUS???
I bet those parents cried all night.
No difference to zer0. Either way, he awarded the medal to a potential voter.
Really? I am surprised. I’ve heard he had some 20 speechwriters at one time... though the Press always says he writes them all beginning to end.
“President Obama, at recent campaign stops, has pointed out that his hair is now getting gray, a sign of how he has aged and the toll taken by his job.”
Certainly. It’s damn hard work destroying a country as successful as this one has been.
Obama didn’t remember the facts because he didn’t care about them in the first place.
There can be quite a clear memory difference between reading something from a teleprompter and actually experiencing a moment of honoring a fallen hero.
With Obama, there are no heroes and he has no honor.
what, are he and Biden having a contest now?
