One thing everyone is getting wrong is that Joe Medicine Crow was never awarded the Metal of Honor, He is a recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the Bronze Star Medal, and the Légion d'honneur

Says it right there at the end of the first paragraph.
How hard is it for reporters to actually get something this easy correct?

Opinion is not news. For example, "Tuesday's devastating elections" how was it "devastating" for a Governor who was very unpopular before Obama got elected to predictably lose in one state and a state that doesn't particularly vote Democrat in any event not to vote for some relative unknown Demo for Gov???
I think it's at least noteworthy that a House seat held by GOPers for eons was won by a Demo.
Tuesday's election results were not "devastating" by any stretch and only mean that GOPers are no longer being routed.
Point is, if this guy (a so-called conservative/libertarian commentator) expresses this much hyperbole over the elections where the outcomes were fairly predictable and not surprising, how serious should we take his other sky is falling comments??
American service members unfortunately are dying everyday...
As POTUS should his response have less measured than when the SGT (Russell I believe) killed fellow service members in Iraq??
What should have been the appropriate response that ALL can agree upon...least of which some hyperbolic commentator??

Two impressions about this story... 1) I don't think it's a huge deal... BHO is a politician, and I don't expect any genuine emotion from any politician ever, and 2) this is one of those stories that I do believe if it was Bush, people would be all over it but since it was BHO, no one bats an eye because he never makes a mistake on a lot of people's eye. :dunno:
You CAN'T be serious!! First, what was GWB's response in 2003 when some SGT. fragged and killed fellow soldiers in Kuwait. Do you remember? Me either...he probably had some milquetoast comments like ANY other POTUS would have.
Secondly, Bush was criticized because his constant flippancy in the face of serious events he was directing our country into was utterly disgusting.
I wonder how "frightening that was to Robert George...
You can only hope. Don't hold your breath "fanboy".:1orglaugh
This saddens me. There are lot of good people in politics. A lot of them get into it because they are moved by their beliefs or want to change things. Sure there are plenty of carpetbaggers and ego maniacs. Yet even these chancers are moved when events like those at the army base take place.
A healthy cynicsm is a must when viewing politics but I would suggest that you are moving into the unhealthy territory.
I am serious. Any objective person can see the media has treated Obama MUCH differently in cases like this than they did Bush. People still bitch about the fact that Bush didn't "flip out" when he was reading to the kids on 9/11. If that had been Obama, they would have praised him for his "poise and grace under fire."
I'm calling you out. I am saying flatly, that this statement is full of shit. I'll put $100 cyberdollars on it not happening.
That's your opinion, and you are entitled to it. I for one treat the reality of politics for what it is, not "beliefs". You don't know empirically what there are good people in politics, because you don't know what they do off camera...
Cynicism is healthy in regards to politicians because they hold power over us, in spite of the fact they are supposed to derive their power FROM us.:2 cents:

Wrong. There are times and places where calm under pressure is a clear asset. That's not what GWB displayed...and I would think anyone would face similar criticism (certainly from me) if they were the country's leader and were told the country was under attack and not acting like it.
No one expected him nor any POTUS to "flip out". We expect them to act like their country is under attack and get the fuck up and go. I mean time could have been of the essence and anything could have required his immediate action. Sorry, that was not a sign of leadership and really foretold what we ultimately got from his leadership (or lack thereof) his entire presidency.
Little did we know that the image of Bush sitting in that classroom failing to respond urgently to an urgent circumstance would hallmark the entire theme of his presidency. Time and time again the guy failed to either recognize and/or react to pretty urgent circumstances.
Really? Bush didn't, so god knows what it takes to be forced to resign!!!
Oh How brave
Are you fucking going to tell me that your statements are not biased and not full of shit? Oh common. Your "brilliant" sense of logic is in fact a fucking tree stump and I can only see medicority coming from you as well as a pathetic sense of analysis and realism. :yesyes: Everything can happen and you have to envisage this scenario happening if the situation gets worse and worse.Mmm, but you said that "sooner or later Obama will fall from his pedestal and will be certainly forced to resign." That's different to saying that "Everything can happen and you have to envisage this scenario happening if the situation gets worse and worse"Oh How brave
Right then. You have roughly 39 months to be proved right. If the president serves out his term you will have been seen to be wrong. Colloquially you will have been seen to contain a lot of shit, perhaps even to be filled to capacity with it.
Conversely, if the president is forced resign I will be the wrong man and out of pocket $100 cyberdollars. I am somewhat at a loss how you could muddle up my statement as some sort of exercise in applied logic or a humourous missive without running up against the phrase, "stupid cunt." Here at the Sunnyvale Rest Home for Distressed Gentlfolk such outporings are frowned upon, so I shall refrain.
I do however have a small request, seeing as you are so certain this event will transpire can you give us a hint about how the downfall will come? Please. Pretty please. Does Obama bet on those whitehouse pick up games and get into debt and borrow a hundred in used twenties from the Taliban? Does his Weatherman past come back to haunt him? I think we should be told? And told in a shouty fashion with lots of exclamation marks!!
Lastly, it appears I have annoyed you in someway. It has made you go to your dark place, I can tell. You have no idea how happy that makes me.

cant understand unless i see a video or at least a transcript
Wow - "Obama's Frightening Insensitivity Following Shooting" - I just assumed that was Bootsy's own headline for the story, but there it was, the exact same headline, right next to the NBC peacock, and on an NBC affiliate's site. But I've been learning that NBC is part of the "liberal media" and that they'll do anything to support Obama. Strange way of doing that here, no???
hazard a guess, the problem here is that he gave a jovial shout out to some medal winner first, then a few minutes later finally addressed the Fort Hood shooting?
