(One of them being stealing enemy horses--which, remarkably, he did.) A better man that Obama would have been able to link the WWII service of Medicine Crow and other American Indians with the Fort Hood atrocity in a manner which was graceful rather than clownish.

The writer makes it clear that he does not blame Obama for this lapse.  Rather it is the fault of his advisors who let him down so completely.  Oh shame!  Oh woe!   Poor Obama doesn't have anyone he can depend on to keep him from making an ass of himself.

But the rest of the nation is under the delusion that he is a good seeking man, this Obama of theirs. So they will be fooled. As it was intended when they wrote the article, you see.     Deception is more powerful than nukes because nukes requires accountability. Deception can be used to kill many, but you'll never know who to blame. That is one of the numerous powers of the Left, one they learned by serving the darkest desires of the human heart.     Obama said 'Medal of Honor". Because there's no real difference between a politically appointed award and something earned by deeds. And NBC reports it without correction, because they are collaborators in clouding the issue. They are now owned, not by corporations, but by the government. Given the alliance between government and corporations, now. That is the intention of the Left, originally and always. "Big Business" was only a big bogey man to scare people into giving government more power over it. And once that power was given, the subsidiary media propaganda arms would ensure that their employers are kept in power. Sadie, we all know that Obama would never honor a Medal of Honor recipient.
