The White House initially denied a request by Rep. Duncan Hunter (R-Calif.) to attend a Medal of Honor ceremony for a fellow Marine Corps and Afghanistan war veteran, a congressional source said.

Hunter first learned last week about plans for President Obama to award former Marine Cpl. Dakota Meyer the Medal of Honor during a Thursday ceremony at the White House. Hunter formally requested to attend the ceremony earlier this week, but the White House said no, the congressional source said.

In addition to his visceral dislike of all military personnel, Obama’s aware that he looks like a 98-pound weaking around real men (especially Marines).

Doesn’t surprise me. The head jerk is surrounded by like minded jerks.

He just doesn’t act normal at all.

Yes, he does act strange. Medicated, mentally ill, some combination. As he nears the next election and it all falls apart for him and his Attack Watch psychotics, I expect to hear that he has been “temporarily incapacitated” and Biden is holding down the fort. The little weasel of a man has never had to do for himself; he’s been carried through life on the shoulders of his Leftist cadre. Makes me think of the scene in “Independence Day” when Goldblum’s character watches his laptop count down to zero, looks up, and says, “Time’s up!” (Also, I give a 5% chance that Obama declares martial law and ‘postpones’ the election).

Anyone wonder if psychiatric testing needs to be conducted for everyone in this Administration?

The 'former' refers to his rank. He was a Cpl. at the time of the events in the field - he is now a Sgt.

I watched a bit of the ceremony. I got to the part where obie said he was happy he took his call. Funny to me he said that. I guess many aren’t taking obies calls of late!
