Race card? You bet he''ll play it.....
The ceremony is taking place today. Meanwhile, Iran keeps working on nukes, people keep losing jobs, and gas and food prices continue to soar.
But at least BambI has the love and adoration of the Washington comPost.
African American?? He’s a very dark mulatto. No such thing as African American. Just like there’s no such thing as gay marriage.
These folks did something great for America, don’t lose sight of that.
I don’t how deserving thy may be, if at all. What right does an Indonesian have to decorate American military?
I had the privilege of shaking the hands of 4 MOH recipients just a couple of weeks ago at the funeral service of WWII MOH recipient, SSG Walter Ehlers. They are all extraordinary individuals who earned their honors, they did not have them handed to them by a mom-jeans wearing community organizer trying to manufacture a legacy. Barry cheapens this honor, just as he cheapens the office of POTUS.
“As the only award available during this conflict, almost half of all Medals of Honor presented to date were awarded for actions in the four years of the Civil War.”
Looks like maybe pResident Obama is going to make sure every minority that ever served has one.
Boy am I glad I’m not one of these folks.
I mean of course, it is the ultimate honor for anyone that ever served in the military.............
......but you have to receive it from Zero.
Talk about the ULTIMATE Hobson’s choice!
I thought Congress was suppose to determine who gets it...hence the name Congressional Medal of Honor....
We need Congress to pass a law to review all of these Medal of Honor recipients for possible re-issue after Obama resigns this spring (during Operation American Spring)and everything he signed as an illegitimate president is declared null and void.
what you get an award for being discriminated against
laughable
I want to add that for any and all of these men who deserve this honor they should receive it. It is a shame they were not awarded it when they were still alive and a shame they must be awarded it by a caricature of a president.
This is the same POSPOTUS that refused to attend the MOH Ball after his first inauguration
Any time he’s caught with egg on his face, out comes the race card... becoming more frequent as the day passes.
Getting a medal from Zer0 would be like, as the saying goes..kissing you sister.
Decisions decisions.
Individuals in both groups being decorated are recipients of the Distinguished Service Cross, the nation's second-highest award for valor in combat. This award alone is a high honor.
The upgrade to Medal of Honor in every instance is going to individuals based on ethnicity issues, real or imagined, that possibly prevented them from receiving the medal originally.
It's interesting that both presidents handing out this award never served a day in the U.S. military. President Bill Clinton was a draft dodger from the Vietnam era.
Obama's reason for not serving is more obscure, much like the rest of his past.
Of the 45 individuals awarded the medal by Clinton, or about to receive it from Obama, no doubt a few are deserving. Certainly not all.
This is nothing more than a cynical political ploy by two Democrat presidents to pander to their constituent base.
The prestige of the Medal of Honor is being diminished greatly by awarding it in such a cavalier fashion.
PS ... I should add as a measure of contrast the Marines 'Chesty' Puller was awarded the Navy Cross five times (the Navy's equivalent to the DSC) and one Distinguished Service Cross.
Not aware of any effort to upgrade any of General 'Chesty' Puller's six medals to MOH status. No further comment needed.
All 24 are Army; no Air Force or Navy / Marine. One black, one Jew, five whites, 17 Latins. This is 2014 GOTV event for the ‘RATS Mexican base.
