Barack Obama Blunders on Death of Medal of Honor Winner

Medal of Honor (Army)

Obama got the facts wrong when speaking to troop at Fort Drum on June 23, 2011. He essentailly stated that Jared Monti was alive when he received the Medal of Honor, when the medal actually had to be awarded posthumpously because Jared Monti was killed in Afghanistan on June 21, 2006 while placing himself in extreme danger to rescue Specialist Brian J. Bradbury.

Here is what Barack Obama said.

"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."

Salvatore Giunta received the Medal of Honor while alive, and this was probably where Obama got confused. To some, this might seem like an honest mistake, but we are not talking about the odd troop here and there. Jared Monti and Salvatore Giunta were both awarded the Medal of Honor, and one of them actually died while displaying the overwhelming courage required to win such and award. The Medal of Honor is no common thing. This is a tremendous honor bestowed on only the bravest of the brave.

Barack Obama should not get a pass on this one. There is no excuse to mess up such an important detail in public, especially when the audience is the men and women actively serving their country. Barack Obama should take the time to learn the names of the most heroic soldiers so bravely fighting and dying in his protracted wars. If he cannot be bothered to learn the names, at least he should have the decency to load them into his teleprompter.

Barack Obama Pursuing Gun Control under the Radar

Prominent gun control activist, Sarah Brady said that, in a meeting, Barack Obama assured her that gun control is very much on his agenda. Regarding gun control, Sarah Brady recalls that Barack Obama said, "I just want you to know that we are working on it." and "We have to go through a few processes but under the radar."

Do we really want a President who fiddles with the Bill of Rights? More seriously, do we want a President who feels the need to fiddle the Bill of Rights "under the radar"?

Obama Exploits Tucson Deaths for Political Pep Rally

On January 12, 2010, Barack Obama committed the most disgusting (known) act of his presidency so far. During a memorial service for the innocent people killed by left-wing occultist, Jared Loughner, Barack Obama gave what sounded like a subdued campaign speech. Rather than honor the victims and their families, Obama chose to shift much of the focus to himself.

During the oddly branded event, "Together We Thrive: Tucson & America," Obama mentioned himself and his feelings far too often, pandered to the crowd, and blamed political critics for the deaths. He managed to appear very creepy with a stunning lack of emotion and heart. His numerous pauses for applause showed a tremendous amount of arrogance.

What was with the applause, anyway? Didn't these classless morons in the audience know it is almost never appropriate to clap at a memorial service? Maybe they were excited by all of the Democrat blue ""Together We Thrive" T-shirts they got for free. Memorials are for the victims and their families only. These situations should never be used for self-promotion and political posturing. The whole display was simply disgusting.

Demon Eyes: The Scariest Photo of Hillary Clinton Ever

Hillary Clinton is not what most would consider photogenic. She has a long history of looking odd on camera.

Ali Jarekji snapped this scary photo of Hillary Clinton through a video viewfinder when she was at a news conference in Amman, Jordan on September 16, 2010.  This photo will be especially eerie for anyone who has seen, the 2007 film, Paranormal Activity.
