Obama's gaffe dwarfs all others

President Obama today apologized to the ****** of a Medal of Honor recipient whom he erroneously said was still alive.

On Thursday at Fort Drum, the president told troops from the 10th Mountain Division that he previously "had the great honor of seeing some of you because a comrade of yours, 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.”

Wrong. Sgt. 1st Class Jared Monti was actually ****** in Afghanistan on June 21, 2006. In September 2009, President Obama awarded him the Medal of Honor posthumously.
