Mega-Gaffe: Obama Honors An Alive KIA Soldier
But no worries: Sarah Palin is still an idiot.
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.
Truth is, the only soldier that has earned his Medal of Honor that is alive and well is Salvatore Giunta, who served in Afghanistan. Here’s SFC Jared C. Monti, below. He did receive a well deserved Medal of Honor, only posthumously:

We honor those that serve this country, for their sacrifices for freedom and volunteer to follow the Constitution. My concern is for those families and friends who see these gaffes and bring on more pain and suffering.
An ex-governor said once: Trust but verify.

Gaffe time by Obama is “all the time” it would seem. For someone who is supposed to intelligent this goofball sure makes alot of gaffes!
Where did Barack Obama get his 57 states remark?
John L. Esposito, professor of religion and international affairs and director of the Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal Center for Muslim-Christian Understanding (CMCU) at Georgetown University, is the leading defender of radical Islam in U.S. higher education — if not in the entire Western academy. He and his enterprise have returned to the public eye with the exposure that, in 2006-07, they were offered $325,000 by the Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC) and the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) to hold a conference on Islamophobia at the university.
A 57-member international body headquartered in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, the OIC was founded in Morocco in 1969 to “protect” the Islamic sites in Jerusalem from Israel. It defines “Islamophobia” with considerable and questionable latitude, as any criticism of Muslim individual, institutional, ideological, legal, or cultural behavior. Combating Islamophobia as it conceives it, OIC seeks to prevent free discussion about Islam or the lives of Muslims under, for example, the radical Islamists dominating Saudi Arabia and ruling Iran.
The 44th. President of the United States. The assault on the Constitution begins. How do you like him now?

Barack Obama has just been endorsed by the Communist Party of the United States and accepted the endorsement. This is the beginning of the end of the Obama regime, making him a one term President. How can any Vietnam Veteran support or vote for a President who is endorsed by a communist organization when it was communists who tried to kill them in Vietnam is beyond belief!
