Obama Apologizes to Family of Fallen Medal of Honor Recipient He Mistakenly Claimed Was Still Alive…
The amazing bravery of Sgt. 1st Class Jared Monti:
He really had no choice, the thought of the Commander-in-Chief disrespecting the memory of a Medal of Honor recipient who gave his life in battle is sickening beyond words.
(ABC News) — 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.”
Guess how many of the big three networks shows covered Obama confusing one living American war hero with a fallen one he posthumously awarded the MOH to in 2009? If you answered zero (and I’m sure you did), step up and claim your prize.
HT: Allah

All these czars, all these advisors, ivy leagues degrees….how can Odumbo continue to make blatant errors like this? Does no one prep or brief him at all before these meetings? Is it because he knows the MSM won’t smear him, and therefore just doesn’t care?
Proving all the cliches are Truisms, evruh Last Day yo !
You’d think that his uberPuppeteer Sistuh Jarret would have at least one fack-checker in da house
You be wrong
Don’t be too hard on him. The idiot only knows what the teleprompter tells him to say.
I agree with Clayusmcret. The teleprompter, while smarter than 0bama, still isn’t up to par.
Supposely the smartest person on the planet as claimed by Tingles got it wrong like so many other things and the MSM keeps covering for him… he could read what Totus tell him but I don’t think he understand what he’s reading.
Guess you can’t fix stupid
Can you imagine if Palin did that?
Double standard anyone?
I really hate the way he salutes when he comes off marine1 or airforce1, it really shows his disrespect and disdain for our military. He swaggers at them and it is repulsive.
An example:

Every time:
http://colonel6.files.wordpress.com/2010/12/obama-marine-one.jpg?w=460&h=306
barry should not be allowed within 25 miles of any military past or present!
He hates what America is, especially the military!
Their is no excuse for what he did! He doesn’t care!
“Every time:
http://colonel6.files.wordpress.com/2010/12/obama-marine-one.jpg?w=460&h=306”
He looks like he has a headache and is feeling sorry for himself.
He is an embarrassment
To me, the status update by dad via facebook is a much bigger act of disrespect than the obamanation getting confused.
I can see it now… “Well I could do a twitter msg about just eating a tuna sandwich and obama calling, but if I put it on facebook maybe people will visit my farm”
Face it guys (and gals); this sumbitch is dumber than a sack of hammers. When he’s off script, he will say anything in an attempt to sound smart. Those school transcripts aren’t hidden for nothing.
I despise that piece of crap in the White House with the intensity of a thousand burning suns!!
Rest in peace Sgt. 1st. Class Monti, and may God grant your dear family peace as well. I am truly humbled by people such as the Monti family.
Dollars to doughnuts he had to be dragged, kicking and screaming by his political handlers, to issue this “apology”. Barry thinks you’re an ignorant fool to join the military in the first place. Show respect for racist baby-killers? Not from this CIC.
I feel sick.
Stupid is as stupid says.
Mr. Monti,
Your son has touched my heart.
May God comfort you and your family.
Thank you for his sacrifice. We, as Americans, can never repay what your son has done for his country.
I call Bullshit! this ursurping muslim communist bastard is a Danger to Americans and to National Security. He is carrying a stolen social security card and a fraudulent selective service card. He is not POTUS,He is a FRAUD.Congress DO YOUR JOB.SPECIAL INVESTIGATION.SPECIAL PROSECUTOR.PROTECT AMERICA. HIS ALLEGIANCE IS NOT TO AMERICA.
I am sorry because it’s my fault, was under repair and obama speak on their own…
A rock is smarter than the-dunce-in-chief.
The media would have you believe that this tool is one of the smartest presidents we’ve ever had……….
Stupid. Motherfucker.

That’s a pretty stupid comment. Are you a member of the MSM, by any chance?
I bet he knows which of his union buddies is still alive!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! feckin tool !!!!!!!!
That’s a really touching video. Thanks for posting it.
How gracious of the parents I doubt I could be so kind. Obama has shown on
more than one occasion his lack of interest in the military. Perhaps he should send Biden who is better. It’s disrespectful to treat our men and women in uniform with such disdain they are willing to die for him everyday. They deserve better than what Obama can give. Mr President stay home next time.
With Jared Monti’s dad accepting the apology from the president, the matter is settled.
Now if the president would only stop pretending the economy is alive, and apologize for THAT as well….I know I know…….in my dreams…….
Obama is a real “Dip Shit”. Commander in Chief -NOT!
I just watched that video and it made me cry so hard.
Everyday people like Sgt Jarred are giving their life for us.. Every single freaking day.
Yet we have a President a commander of the military only concerned with his re-election and destruction of our STILL GREAT NATION.
God I’m asking a big favor today, I’m asking you to please let us defeat each and everyone of theses bastards who’s goals are to destroy America and take away our freedoms and to take away everything to do with you in the name of progression and liberty. They do not want us to love and praise you freely.
Dear God we Americans need you more then ever we have. Or as much as we needed you early on to defeat those who would choose for us our destiny instead of allowing us the freedom to chose for ourselves. God we have a long road ahead of us, but we are up to the task and we will defeat this enemy and with you help we will never allow it to happen again. In your name amen.
I think this is the man who writes for the Telepromter read this puff piece on him.

It could be that or his Marxist scumbag roots take over and he will blabber mouth all the real things his administration is up too.
I think he can’t help himself, like when he told Joe the plumber about sharing the wealth.. Obama off script is more dangerous to those who protect or manage him.
I think that’s the other reason they keep him out of the White House and on so many fundraisers, golf and vacations. If he was around for all the crap they are really pulling his giddiness would show and he would blab. If he doesn’t win this re-election I think those on the left will take him out just because he knows too much and can’t keep his trap shut. And The Wookie will spearhead the damn thing. She is more dangerous then Obama, she is using him for power and wealth and she will not have him lose all that for her .. One more thing, There is not way in DNA hell that second child belongs to Obama. Just saying.
@whthfk
I think along the same lines … notice how effeminate Obama is, that is what is so disgusting a,out his sissy walk, and the sissy salutes, his sissy golf swing, etc.. he is a sissy, and he is kept away from the limelight, that’s why he doesn’t really interface with the press, except in extremely controlled situations, and why he must have a teleprompter and that also has to be very controlled. Remember when he started reading from the teleprompter and was alerted to the fact that he was reading someone else’s dialog, without even knowing it.
That’s how ‘smart’ Obama is. He is a figurehead and pretty stupid, so they keep him under tight wraps.
I think his wife is smarter than he is and she carries water for him, but it’s pretty obvious that she is the dominant one.
Mark Levin Blasts President Obama for “Medal of Honor” Gaffe

As far as I am concerned, Obama owes the entire nation a public apology. This selfish, cowardly turd doesn’t even have enough spine to publicly acknowledge his failure and announce his apology.
One term too many.
In this case the acronym CIC stands for Crackhead In Chief.
If this had been reagan the media sharks would have been on a feeding freinzie like after QUAYLE mispelled POTATO and CHANEYS hunting accedent thats why ive quit reading these wreatched newspapers and quit watching the talkingheads
@JooJoo B.
I agree. He is very uninformed everything is scripted I do remember him reading the other person line and then tried to joke it off.
He is most defiantly effeminate.
He is very sissy maybe for his and her career they did the marriage thing because a black woman in their eyes didn’t stand a chance at being president so Obama was picked. Being black gives him free rein over everything people are too afraid to go after him and impeach him because he is the First black president.
Michelle and Valerie run the show Obama is just the blow up doll they stick in front of the cameras. The other thing that bugs the shit out of me is the oldest daughter the one Obama hangs on and acts like she is his girlfriend instead of his child its disgusting and completely grosses me out.
I’m sure he swings both ways and being a Muslim means his daughter is fair game too.
Because shinning a bad light on President Obama is not allowed, only when the president is a republican shall they turn on the BAD LIGHT.
Freedom of the Press does not mean freedom to deceive or deprive the American People of the FACTS.
Freedom of the Press is to seperate the PRESS from repercussions from the Government in so that it may report the truth, not be a lap dog of a political party.
He doesn’t care. He. Just. Doesn’t. Care.
The visit to Ft Drum was only a means to get his fundraising tour (3 on that day ) payed for by the taxpayer.
How did those soldiers keep straight faces? What were they thinking ?
Thank you for posting this video of this great hero.
John Hayward took a lot of flak from libs because he correctly stated that BHO deliberately referenced this hero’s name in order to insert himself into the narrative of the 10th Mountain Division even while having a huge speech writing staff at his disposal.
This insult further exposes what we’ve known all the long…BHO is an arrogant opportunist who despises the military and is unfit to be Commander in Chief nor President.
Lord, protect our troops. Amen.
