Obama is a Dolt
The highest honor you can award a soldier is the Congressional Medal of Honor. The worst disservice you can award a soldier is to screw up his name because you are an idiotic president who can’t speak without a teleprompter.
From Hotair here:
“Throughout my service, first as a senator and then as a presidential candidate and then as a President, I’ve always run into you guys. And for some reason it’s always in some rough spots.
First time I saw 10th Mountain Division, you guys were in southern Iraq. When I went back to visit Afghanistan, you guys were the first ones there. I had the great honor of seeing some of you because a comrade of yours, Jared Monti, was the first person who I was able to award the Medal of Honor to who actually came back and wasn’t receiving it posthumously.”
The problem is, Jared Monti was killed in action in Afghanistan, on June 21, 2006. He was awarded the Medal of Honor posthumously, September 17, 2009. President Obama handed the framed medal to his parents, Paul and Janet Monti. He and the First Lady comforted them in the Oval Office following the ceremony.
Obama did award a non-posthumous MoH to Salvatore Giunta last year. It doesn’t speak well of Obama that he couldn’t get the names right in what appear to be prepared remarks for the troops.
This guy is a true maroon. Is it 2012 yet?
The problem is this: the most innocuous mistake is still horrifying when made in the wrong circumstances. Asking a non-pregnant lady when she is due would be a classic example. It does not matter how harmless the question is. It does not matter how pregnant the lady looks.
You have made a horrific error, for which you should turn beet red and apologize profusely.
The same logic applies here. This a sad excuse of an argument! Getting someone’s name wrong means Obama is a poor excuse of a human being? That’s disgusting talk is worst than passing this off as a “mistake”. Not to mention demanding the military to become disrespectful racists like here from the right. This is just a sad excuse to make Bush(Mission Accomplished) and Palin (Paul Revere) seem more intelligent than they aren’t and weren’t.
Your logic, if you can call it such Questionman, is seriously flawed. Equating a service medal, the highest honor given to a soldier, to a pregnant woman, is no where near the same. This actually shows how little you respect soldiers, which is what Obama’s problem is.
And Palin was right about Paul Revere, which shows how stupid YOU are. And all disagreement with Obama makes you a racist? Fine. The charge of racism is so watered down no one pays any attention to it.
