He flubbed up right? Was his flub as big of a flub as Palin's history lesson?
Even in the Op the White House acknowledges that this guy wasn't the first " living recipient" to be awarded the metal by Obama. He was the first posthumous recipient. Lord God Almighty
, Jared Monti, was the first person who I was able to award the Medal of Honor to who actually came back and wasn’t receiving it posthumously
Ignert, I think you missed the gaffe. Obama's text contained the line
Except, that Monti was a posthumous recipient. So he did in fact misspeak. It wasn't about that he did or did not give the award, but he stated that the decedent was alive in 2009, which was false.
Though this really has nothing to due with Obama's competency and everything to do with how his speech writers failed.

Lone Wolf I apologize to you. I particularly regret the tone I used.
