Earlier this month, I referenced Barack Obama’s remarks at the National Prayer Breakfast in an Obamateurism a couple of weeks ago, but alert OOTD reader Ken K spotted one I missed in the same speech. The President spoke about the hardship of our men and women in the military who are now leaving the service but not finding jobs in the current economy. Unfortunately, Obama offered a reprise of one of his earliest gaffes on the national political stage, emphasis mine:
Our economy is making progress as we recover from the worst crisis in three generations, but far too many families are still struggling to find work or make the mortgage, pay for college, or, in some cases, even buy food. Our men and women in uniform have made us safer and more secure, and we were eternally grateful to them, but war and suffering and hardship still remain in too many corners of the globe. And a lot of those men and women who we celebrate on Veterans Day and Memorial Day come back and find that, when it comes to finding a job or getting the kind of care that they need, we’re not always there the way we need to be.
Almost four years ago, Obama offered this on the campaign trail as a presidential candidate:
On this Memorial Day, as our nation honors its unbroken line of fallen heroes — and I see many of them in the audience here today — our sense of patriotism is particularly strong.
One might have thought that three years in office would have taught Obama the difference between Memorial Day and Veterans Day. On the latter, we celebrate our living veterans, but on Memorial Day, we remember those who died in the service of their country.

Did he give the speech in “Road Island?”
Oh I don’t know...this makes perfect sense to me.
No matter what people have done during their life - who they voted for - what occupation they engaged in...one thing we do know is that once they are dead they become democrats.
Obama just wants to make sure the dead get plenty of work to help his re-election campaign!
BTW this is especially hilarious after Michelle wished her husband a happy President's Day, saying he was her favorite one.
Problem is there is no such holiday. So presumably she was saying the Obama was her favorite George Washington.
nobama is the perfect, classic definition of stupidity.
I heard a rumor Obama was Lincoln reincarnated?
And, like all dead people, despite having been a republican president, he now votes democrat too.
Abe or Mary?
You have got to be kidding me . . . tell me this is not true.
Who, if I may ask, is now pronouncing “corpsman” CORPSEMAN?
HA!
Obummer never misses a muslim holiday.
I agree it’s not funny anymore. Wasn’t the first time-but it was more forgivable then. I guess the only day that zipperhead can get straight would be a day related to some Islamic victory—or perhaps the historic Birthday of Vlad Lenin.
Just think how sweet it will be when these fascist are gone.
That alone is worth everything.
Delete the Fascist party once and for all.
fas·cism [fash-iz-uhm]
noun
( sometimes initial capital letter ) a governmental system led by a dictator having complete power, forcibly suppressing opposition and criticism, regimenting all industry, commerce, etc., and emphasizing an aggressive nationalism and often racism.
IMHO
Let's not be too critical -Heck - none of us know the difference between the Kenya Memorial Day and Kenya Veterans day.
He was raised by America hating, Marxist leaning, Muslim believing, get even with 'Whitey' internationalists. What can you expect?
F***** idiot.
I cannot WAIT until he is gone!
You know damn well that if Bush made the same idiotic mistake the liberals would be all over him like blowflies on a corpse.
