What are you watching here? This is Obama, speaking at Fort Drum and justifying his willy-nilly pullout of Afghanistan in front of the 10th Mountain Division. And he references SFC Jared Monti of the 10th Mountain as being the first Medal of Honor recipient not to get the award posthumously.
Except Jared Monti was dead when he got the award. He was killed in action in 2006. Those are his parents in the picture as Obama presented them with Monti’s MOH.
The soldier Obama must have been thinking about is SSG Sal Giunta, of the 173rd Airborne. Giunta was the first living MOH recipient from Iraq and Afghanistan. It was a really big deal when Obama gave him the award; even non-political people knew about it.
It’s not the kind of thing a president who goes on and on about what an honor it is to recognize the troops would forget. And yet he just resurrected a Medal of Honor recipient.
Unless Jared Monti is Lazarus, this is a gaffe of mind-boggling proportions. This is worse than anything the Left can point to Sarah Palin or Michele Bachmann or Dan Quayle or W for.
And this was off-the-cuff. This wasn’t some dumb staffer loading factual mistakes into the teleprompter. This was Obama’s brain.

Disagree.
The Obamaloon started at the total dumb*** level when he was born.
From there, he pointed his putrid body straight down, lighted the burners, and plumed new depths of utter cretin-ativity.
The assumption behind this statement is wrong. It assumes that 0bama would be less likely to make a mistake off prompter than he would reading what someone else wrote.
Hmmmm, “plumed” or “plummed”....methinks my brain is beginning to become Obama-like.
Help me...help me......
I.....AM........SHOCKED......SHOCKED.....I TELL YA!
He’s probably like a lot of people (myself included) - he’s good at remembering stuff he cares about and not so good at stuff he’s not interested in. I think that’s human nature. Ask him about rap lyrics, NBA hoops, ESPN shows, or koran verses and he’d probably be pretty astute.
Names of people who gave the supreme sacrifice for their country - err - not so much.
That's about the nicest thing he gets called around my house.
No....come to think of it...I don't believe I've never been that charitable when referencing that half-white piece-of-Kenyan Krap.
“This was Obama’s brain.”
What brain?
More like a small container of thin, fetid oatmeal.
“Stand Up Chuck!”
This whole friggin’ administration is a gaffe...
Empty words on a Teleprompter. He can't appreciate their honor because it is an alien concept to him,he has none of his own.
What we have is a “pretty face” opaquely hiding a heart committed to Communism in he White House. Google Agenda Documentary if you want to understand the horrors of Communism. He may be deluded but he is not a dunce! This is what he and the shadow government wants for America.
Hey Obama,learn to respect your betters.A MOH winner is definitely a better man than you,so get your facts straight before opening your mouth.
Nether. It's "plumbed".
Can I get away with saying he reached a new low of dickitude?
Or will this be my first ever post to be deleted?
I’m of the opinion that Bozo is heavily medicated.
Yes, Obama does continue to act stupidly.
“Can I get away with saying he reached a new low of dickitude?
Or will this be my first ever post to be deleted?”
Ah, a great new word. And the process by which he reaches “dickitude” can be called the -— wait for it -— “Weiner Maneuver”.
Badda-bing.
Gad’s it’s so easy to pick on the Dung-Beetle-in-Chief.
