Another wtf moment for POTUS.
Ah, the dangers of giving shout outs without a teleprompter. Crow is not a Medal of Honor recipient. As noted by the Congressional Medal of Honor Society:
The Medal of Honor is the highest award for valor in action against an enemy force which can be bestowed upon an individual serving in the Armed Services of the United States. Generally presented to its recipient by the President of the United States of America in the name of Congress, it is often called the Congressional Medal of Honor.
Crow’s name is not included on the Society’s Medal of Honor recipient list. He was, however, awarded the Medal of Freedom, the nation’s highest civilian honor, in August.
Obama, often described as “cerebral” by the mainstream media, should know the difference between the Medal of Honor and the Medal of Freedom, especially since he personally awarded the latter to Crow. Don’t expect his blunder to receive wide coverage. It’s not something he can blame George Bush for.

At this point, an invasion by another country would be a relief…

Can’t we have a telethon or something to raise money so that someone will take him?

Give him to Europe instead. They’ll take him for free…. I’m sure Nancy Pelosi will be glad to relocate to Rome, and Diane Feinstein will be glad to go live in Paris, where she sent her kids to go to school.
Poor old Diane. She lost $11.8 million in 2008. It is described as being a “double-digit percentage” loss for her. (See last paragraph of this informative article: http://www.politico.com/news/stories/1109/29235.html ) Even if it was 50%, this means she’s still for around $11 million or so give or take what her husband raped the taxpayers for selling foreclosed properties …

Oh yes, let the Europeans have this whole bunch. We’ll have the military fly them over there. We can make a movie out of it. We can call it Moon Over Paradox….

You see that John Boehner confusing the Constitution with the Declaration of Independence is all over the news though. No such scrutiny for Barry though.

Barry will could eat live puppies and kittens and the MSM will close their eyes. Unbelievable.

Seems like obama’s bro’s and sis’s aren’t feeling him these days. I knew he was not in the AA’s corner, not the way they expected anyway.
I had not seen this reported anywhere, but maybe I was just looking in the wrong places…(from Raw Story)
African-Americans slam Obama in White House protest
Published: Saturday November 7, 2009
Decrying Barack Obama as “white power in black face,” hundreds of African-Americans marched on the White House Saturday to protest policies of the first black US president, and demand that he bring US troops home.
More than 200 people gathered for the first public demonstration by African Americans against the Obama administration since his historic inauguration in January, and slammed the president for continuing what they described as Washington’s “imperialist” agenda around the world.
“We recognize that Barack Hussein Obama is white power in black face,” civil rights activist Omali Yeshitela, chairman of the Black is Back coalition which arranged the protest, called into a megaphone as the group marched outside the mansion’s gates.
“He is a tool of our imperialist enemies and we demand our freedom. And we demand that Obama withdraw all the troops from Afghanistan right now.”
Protesters also called for Obama to order troops out of Iraq and to scrap Africom, the controversial year-old United States Africa Command, and demanded “hands off” Venezuela and ends to the Cuba embargo and the Zimbabwe blockade.
Several demonstrators held up placards bearing messages such as “US out of Afghanistan” and “Stop US war against Iraq.”
Charles Baron, a New York city councilman and former member of the Black Panthers, a Black Power movement in the mid-1960s and 1970s, attacked the president for turning a cold shoulder to the plight of African-Americans.
“We’re not satisfied with him, and… this hope and change rap has not been a reality for black people,” Baron told AFP during the demonstration.
“We are glad that Barack Obama broke up the white male monopoly on the White House, but we were not looking for a change in the occupant of the White House from white to black, we were looking for change in foreign policies and domestic policies,” he added.
“To have a black person exploiting me just like a white person, that’s no easier pain.”
The group also was calling for the release of former Black Panther Mumia Abu-Jamal, who was convicted in 1982 of killing a white police officer and sentenced to death.
The US Supreme Court upheld Abu-Jamal’s conviction in April and rejected his bid for a new trial.
Black Americans voted overwhelmingly for Democrat Obama in last year’s election, when he defeated Republican Senator John McCain.
About 13 percent of US citizens are African-Americans.

First of all, he isn’t black. He is as much white as he is black. Secondly, given all the coverage by the sycophant media preceding his election one could have assumed that there was at best a hint of incredulity surrounding his “hope” and “change” mantra.
It turns out that Obama is in fact a tool of the corporate media and their interlocking boards of directors on Wall Street and in banking, commonly referred to as the military-industrial complex. As I like to put it, MIMIC is more accurate, the military-industrial-media-influence complex. Looks like a whole bunch of people have been sold a giant crap sandwich, not just blacks…

No kidding, and are we going to pay for it soon.
November 9, 2009 at 2:02 AM
Quick question for you…
Where’s Hillary in all of this … ?
I mean, you’d think that given Bill’s uncanny ability to weasel his way around philandering with umpteen different ho’s and still keep on going, Obama’s teflon is looking a little, shall we say, sticky….
Hmm, I just wonder what old Hill is doing right about now. After all, she is simply a political pawn to O’what’s-his-name, i.e., keeping ones enemies closer is far more productive than the alternative.
Just wonderin’ out loud is all…
I mean, after all, all kinds of doo doo is sticking to Obama now that this so-called ‘victory’ in the House moves through the Congressional duodenum to the Senate, the great rectum rectorum….
Yes, and you’re right. Any minute now it’s gonna blow….
Step awayyyyyy-y-y-y from the blow hole….
November 9, 2009 at 3:07 AM
I feel for her and former POTUS. The nasty tarring and feathering that they will receive if they step out of line must be quite problematic. Let’s face it, the guy just can’t stop blaming GWB. To date, I am sure that they still do not understand why the DNC gave this moron the position. Shie is not allowed to do anything without Jarrett’s approval. Truth be known, I believe Jarrett pulls all the strings. HRC should stay far away from this tar pit.
November 9, 2009 at 1:25 AM
No way! Where is that MSM? Is it racist still? Black on black, you know. Or will he claim mulatto status now? I hope that same group refuses to vote for anyone in 2010. They placed this disaster in office and I am sure that they are NOT happy from this release. Thank you for the heads up!!
November 8, 2009 at 10:32 PM
Medal of Honor, Medal of Freedom, Nobel Peace Prize, Perfect Attendance — in B.O.’s mind they are all the same.
November 9, 2009 at 1:32 AM
I have no doubt of that. It certainly explains why he is so clueless about his job description.
