Idiot-in-Chief
The so-called great orator flubs again while going off teleprompter.

President Obama got his Medal of Honor recipients mixed up today,
accidentally referring to a posthumous recipient as alive.
Speaking in upstate New York to troops at Fort Drum Thursday, the president was
remembering<http://blogs.cbn.com/WhiteHouseWrap/archive/2011/06/23/commander-in-chief-misspeaks-about-soldier-killed-in-afghanistan.aspx>the
times he spent with the US Army’s 10th Mountain Division.
“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,” Obama
said. “And for some reason it’s always in some rough spots.”
“First time I saw the 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.”
*Jared Monti was killed in Afghanistan on June 21, 2006. He was awarded the
Medal of Honor posthumously, September 17, 2009*.
Imagine the outrage the liberal media would have shown had this been someone
like Sarah Palin making such a huge gaffe.
When contacted about the gaffe by CBN reporter Dana Ritter, White House
Press Secretary Jay Carney said, “At Fort Drum, the President misspoke when
discussing the first Medal of Honor he presented posthumously to Jared
Monti, who was a member of the 10th Mountain Division. The President paid
tribute to Monti in his remarks to troops in Afghanistan in March 2010. Last
year, the President presented the Medal of Honor to Salvatore Giunta, who
was the first living recipient of the Medal who served in Afghanistan.”
