If anything, it was an over abundance of sensitivity to the children in the room, whom he didn’t want to frighten. I also suspect that President Bush knows the difference between the Congressional Medal of Honor, and The Medal of Freedom, which is what Obama actually awarded Joe Medicine Crow. The indispensable  Newsbusters: Ah, the dangers of giving shout outs without a teleprompter.  Crow is ...

Daily Pundit — From the off-the-cuff maunderings of The Most Intelligent Prez EVAR… Beyond the knuckle-headedness of expending the first two and a half minutes of a five-minute presser called specifically in regards to the terrorist attack (yes, that’s exactly what it was, make no mistake) at Fort Hood, gassing about the Indian affairs event he attended earlier in the day, before actually, y’know, mentioning anything about…the attack at Fort Hood… Ah, well - when you’re The Flim-Flam Man, ...
