Our Dear Leader, who so loves the Marine Corpse, has stuck his foot in it again. (And lower leg, knee, and... oh, hell, he's pretty much chewing his own sack right now.)
Our commander in chief, in full campaign mode, stopped by Fort Drum in upstate New York to address the troops from the 10th Mountain Division, which had recently completed deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan.
Obama said: "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."
The soldiers of the 10th Mountain Division listened in stunned obedience.
It was actually Staff Sgt. Sal Giunta of the 173rd Airborne who last year became the first living recipient of the Medal of Honor to have fought in Afghanistan, and the first living recipient since the Vietnam War. Sgt. 1st Class Jared Monti of the 10th Mountain Division was killed in action in Afghanistan in 2006 and awarded the Medal of Honor posthumously in 2009 by President Obama.

That he is.
Good point... He hasn't even bothered (nor apparent have his staff) to do ANY fact checking...
My Father-in-Law served with the 10th during WW2, so there's a soft spot for the unit in our families' heart.
I'm really trying not to cuss right now, because there might be some kids reading this, so picture Jay's Rage-o-meter being Nuked.
The Commander-in-Chief is recycling old speeches he gave to other military units in the past? And they gave Bush crap because he wasn't a good speaker?
"Marine Corpse", heh.
But Zercool, I have to point out that you just collected 10 "Racist Points" for criticizing the Lightbringer. I mean, what do you expect from him? He didn't have his Teleprompter, after all ...

Bush mispronounced "nuclear" and it was front page news. Barry does this, and there are crickets.
But there's no media bias...
