As we all know, SSG Sal Giunta, of the 173rd Airborne, was the first living recipient (2011) of the MOH who fought in Iraq/Afganistan. SFC Jared Monti, 10th Mountain Division, was KIA in Afghanistan in 2006. He was posthumously awarded the MOH by Obama in 2009.

How does the Commander-in-Chief mix these heroes up? He put that medal around Giunta’s neck and he stood with Monti’s parents as they grieved.

Hoo boy

He does realize that the image is going to go away, right?

A teacher hugs her students after they gave a presentation in music history to U.S. President Barack Obama at Kenmore Middle School in Arlington, Virginia March 14, 2011. Obama autographed the screen picture of Duke Ellington writing "It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing!"'

I like how he stands back and admires his handiwork.

Somebody should have turned the projector off and left just the vandalized screen.

I'm worried about you- talking to yourself all the time.

...talking to yourself all the time, a true sign of loneliness

PapaG likes what PapaG has to say a whole lot, so maybe a thread where he talks to himself (and no one else posts) makes a certain amount of sense

...talking to yourself all the time, a true sign of loneliness

Or old age.

Dude, you have a serious obsession with Barack.

Dude, you have a serious obsession with Barack.

He's hilarious! Now I know why you lefties had so much fun with Bush's gaffes.

Seriously, Barack signed a projection screen. They better run Duke Ellington's face on that thing 24/7. Either that, or the kids won't know what the hell it's on the screen for in the future. That's just comedy gold. So bone-headed. Really, what was he thinking?

 

[PapaG]

Besides, I've got less than two years left to goof on this lunkhead. The clock it ticking, and I don't have time to waste.

I'd love to have that projection screen. It'll be worth $100K+ within a few years after his presidency.

That's probably true. Nobody would know what that hell it meant, and the story would be worth laughs when hosting dinner parties for years and years.

haha...Obama is a FUCKING IDIOT.

Interesting. So all your Barack fascination is some weird sort of retaliation for all the fuss about dumbass moves made by Dubya during his presidency?

No. Barry makes me laugh. Bush did as well. I like to laugh, and these boners were just too stupid to not share.

I didn't defend Bush's boneheadedness. Barack and Dubya should go on a slapstick tour with each other in February, 2013. They'll both be unemployed, and America will need the laughs due to the situation their policies have put us in.

It was only the Medal of Honor. Easy mistake to make.

Do the evening news propagandists ever get sick of covering for this idiot we have as a President? They couldn't wait to post Bush's Bungles, which were aplenty as well.

Also, why did the family have to post a statement on Facebook? A public statement recognizing his error would have been more appropriate.

President Obama today apologized to the family of a Medal of Honor recipient whom he erroneously said was still alive.

On Thursday at Fort Drum, the president told troops from the 10th Mountain Division that he previously "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.”

Wrong. Sgt. 1st Class Jared Monti was actually killed in Afghanistan on June 21, 2006. In September 2009, President Obama awarded him the Medal of Honor posthumously.

On his Facebook page this evening, Monti's father, Paul, posted: "FYI- President Barack Obama telephoned me personally this afternoon to apologize for his error in his speech to the 10th mountain division re: Jared's medal ceremony. Apology accepted."

 

[PapaG]

Barry's speech at Jared Monti's Medal of Honor ceremony.

A moment later, he rose again. And again they fired everything they had at him, forcing him back. Faced with overwhelming enemy fire, Jared could have stayed where he was, behind that wall. But that was not the kind of soldier Jared Monti was. He embodied that creed all soldiers strive to meet: "I will always place the mission first. I will never accept defeat. I will never quit. I will never leave a fallen comrade." And so, for a third time, he rose. For a third time, he ran toward his fallen comrade. Said his patrol leader, it "was the bravest thing I had ever seen a soldier do."

He actually read this, and then forgot about his death while addressing troops.

He's a moron. That's the only explanation. He reads words that other people write.

Where are the college transcripts?

Sucks he forgot, nice gesture, family accepted apology.

Perhaps you should stick to something a bit more your level...
