Obama Gives Shout Out to 'Congressional Medal of Honor Winner' Who Isn't

SPEAKER: PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA
[*] OBAMA: Please, everybody, have a seat. Let me first of all just thank Ken and the entire Department of the Interior staff for organizing just an extraordinary conference.

I want to thank my Cabinet members and senior administration officials who participated today. I hear that Dr. Joe Medicine Crow (ph) was around, and so I want to give a shout out to that Congressional Medal of Honor winner. It's good to see you.

Ah, the dangers of giving shout outs without a teleprompter. Crow is not a Medal of Honor recipient. As noted by the Congressional Medal of Honor Society:

The Medal of Honor is the highest award for valor in action against an enemy force which can be bestowed upon an individual serving in the Armed Services of the United States. Generally presented to its recipient by the President of the United States of America in the name of Congress, it is often called the Congressional Medal of Honor.

Crow's name is not included on the Society's Medal of Honor recipient list. He was, however, awarded the Medal of Freedom, the nation's highest civilian honor, in August.

Obama, often described as "cerebral" by the mainstream media, should know the difference between the Medal of Honor and the Medal of Freedom, especially since he personally awarded the latter to Crow. Don't expect his blunder to receive wide coverage. It's not something he can blame George Bush for.

Obama just thinks everyone gets all sorts of prestigious awards without deserving them since he got his Nobel, can't really blame him.

No one would complain if that was his worst mistake.

I loved how he was giving "shout-outs" to his peeps, seconds before turning his face all sad clown and talking about the then still-happening Ft. Hood shooting. Classy man, real classy.

If only South Park had waited a week... now we'll have to change the definition of "fag" again...

I only hope he is a one termer, he makes Jimmy Carter look great and this bozo has only been in office 10 months

I'm sure it's easy to lose track of what that is.
