BELTWAY CONFIDENTIAL Politics from the Nation's Capital Mainstream media covers up horrifying Obama mistake By: Michael Barone | Senior Political Analyst Follow Him @michaelbarone | 06/28/11 12:17 PM No one in mainstream media seems inclined to mention Barack Obama’s horrifying mistake last Thursday when, speaking at Fort Drum, he said that SFC 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.” Alas, he was mistaken. He awarded the Medal of Honor to Jared Monti posthumously in 2009 and awarded the Medal of Honor in person to SSG Sal Giunta in person in 2011. Obama later apologized for this mistake, but it’s really dismaying that a president who spoke movingly and even eloquently in awarding the Medal of Honor made a mistake of this magnitude. “It shouldn’t take a teleprompter for the C-in-C to get it right,” writes military blogger Black Five. It’s interesting that mainstream media journalists who are so eager to zing Michele Bachmann for getting John Wayne’s birthplace wrong, have not been interested in asking whether this was a mistake Obama made in ad libbing or whether the White House speechwriters and fact-checkers fell down on the job. You might think that their chief motive is to make Obama look good and to suppress facts that make him look bad.

I would put money on that Bush knows who he gave medals to and he visits Vets all the time with no fan fair, no cameras, and no reporters at all

I saw a story of a soldier that was recovering from wounds and he looked over and Bush walked in his room and started talking to him they all may be crooks but the Bush family understands what we did for them and what we put on the line
