Sgt. 1st Class Jared Monti was actually killed in Afghanistan on June 21, 2006. In September 2009, President Obama awarded him the Medal of Honor posthumously.

On his Facebook page this evening, Monti's father, Paul, posted: "FYI- President Barack Obama telephoned me personally this afternoon to apologize for his error in his speech to the 10th mountain division re: Jared's medal ceremony. Apology accepted."

Some things transcend simple politics. MOH recipients deserve better.

because he s black. Had he been white he would have been crucified.

He's not black, he's a mongrel. Mother is white so he is half black, half white. Now if he was a criminal in Florida he would be classified as "white". Go anti-white USA!

Think of it this way Option D, if Bush or any other repub would have made the same mistake the media would have had a field day.

Agreed. The media needs to be more balanced.

It might irritate you but its true. Remember how the media got on Bush when he misspoke? They were relentless....Obama gets a pass. Want proof?

It only means that they are inconsistent. It's not a free pass. Just because your doctor smokes does not mean it's okay for you to smoke. It's still unhealthy.

Nobody should misspeak. Bush doesn't get a free pass just because Obama does it too. It's still an error to misspeak. It has nothing to do with whether liberals or conservatives are "right."

The media analyzed every word Bush spoke and when they found even the smallest thing they went after him, called him every name in the book on top of it.

Tell that to the family of the soldier who is dead. Shows that ceremony really meant something to him.

as if the family gives a fuck what obama thinks about their loss.

Don't need to make excuses for Obama because its a speaking error that was already acknowledged and it really doesn't serve me any purpose to argue politics when I have no involvement in them. Not only that, I'm not going to waste any time picking and poking at every minor gaffe he or anyone else makes. I said the same thing regarding Palin's gaffe's with Diane Sawyer.

You need to step away from the keyboard for a while because your hatred of Obama is borderline looney tunes.

actually you contradict yourself because you just brought up palin. you have an obvious dislike for her. with that being said you can't excuse this. the man died for this country. he deserves honor and respect

Fuck him. Same dork as Bush just in a very different form - at least Bush was funny.

I don't usually get caught up in gaffes by people who routinely speak in public. It comes with the territory. But this one is pretty bad.

I have to agree, there are some things you just don't screw up, and this is one of them.

Now was it Juinta or Monti that was a part of the division that Obama was talking to?

I would have gotten up and walked out. He's a fake commander in chief. In fact, Obama is Bullshit and his entire life is Bullshit. he has no accomplishments, his time at Harvard was an affirmative action Bullshit operation and he slid or was pushed through on minimum grade, did some time as a Bullshit community organizer (whatever that is), was propelled with Chicago money and a supporting cast into being a Senator where he voted 'Present' 99% of the time, and ran for President the entire two years he was classified as a Senator. Is there anything here that isn't Bullshit? he's never worked an honest day in his life. his entire life is Bullshit. he's plastic, fake, not real.

....biggest piece of shit ever!
