Could someone not have arranged that the award be given by a real man?

After all, it is being received by a real man.

Army Capt. William Swenson certainly deserves the Medal of Honor, but I do not believe that I could accept it from Obama. I ‘think’ I would show up, hand it back to Obama, spit in his general direction, turn my back to him, then walk away.

"Obama awards the CMOH"?

Can someone please tell FOX that it's the Congressional Medal of Honor, not the President's MoH. Congress awards it, not the President! What are they trying to get us to believe?

I wonder... was the scheduling of the award in any way affected by the hubbub around the WWII Vets Memorial, or had it been scheduled some time ago?

The contempt Obama has for the military, except when it is useful to him, is obvious. But, today he got to say a few nice words. It’s all about image.

Its very frustrating. Yet another brave Medal of Honor recipient, and who does the thread become about? Obama. Why do we even talk about him? He deserves to be ignored.

Captain Swenson, this thread should be about you Sir. Thank you for your service.

The CMH being presented by Soetoro, I think I would ask them to mail it to me.

Well I’m pleased the young Captain received the medal with the respect its deserved. Protests, fists in the air, inappropriate words at that ceremony... that’s not us, it’s them.

I was hoping someone here had the skinny on why the medal was delayed?
