... of President Obama.
Seems some are waking up.
One question though, is this Obama’s My Pet Goat moment?
One last thing on Obama’s “shout out” to Crow:

... to Joe Medicine Crow prior to addressing the nation about the Fort Hood shootings, Obama flubbed the medal won by Dr. Medicine Crow. Newsbusters has the shout-out and more: I want to thank my Cabinet members and senior administration officials who participated today.
