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.

Wait a minute. He thinks Hawaii is in Asia?
WHAT??
N*gger,is you sick?
James Evans,Sr. in ‘Good Times’.
No he isn't.
He didn't get to observe "Decoration Day" when the whole town turned out to clean and brighten the city cemetery.
Or stand in school assembly at 11:00 am each November 11th and observe a moment of silence for Armistice Day.
Some things just make an impression.
So when do we celebrate those who served but died afterwards?
A local TV news reader on channel 8 out of Dallas. Very liberal, very pro zero........;-(
He doesn’t know and he doesn’t care.
I don’t mind Obama - - he’s been put in a job that’s way over his head.
It’s his voters that I’m disgusted with. May they burn in hell.
I wonder when he will start to report that this November their station will be giving General Election results for all “57” States?
