Is this OK?

You'd think that our commander-in-chief would know the difference between the "Medal of Honor" and the "Medal of Freedom".

I want to thank my Cabinet members and senior administration officials who participated today. I hear that Dr. Joe Medicine Crow (ph) was around, and so I want to give a shout out to that Congressional Medal of Honor winner. It's good to see you.

Wait...I hope I'm not 'Jack[ing] the Prez.

First time I've ever seen a news van in Kiel for anything other than a high school sports event.

Does it really matter in the big scheme of life. The important thing is that he recognized him.

I myself never knew that there was a distinction between the two medals.

If you were never in the military, I can see how that could happen. The thing is that Obama is the supreme commander of our armed forces. He SHOULD know these things.

Could you imagine if Bush had said that? We'd never hear the end of it.

I suppose you think he should also know how many states we have.

" I've now been in 57 states I think, 1 left to go."
Don't you have to know how many states we have before you can become a citizen?

Yeah, I see your point. Kinda like what Michael Moore did with his movie, only with that a lot more people died and they weren't soldiers. Which, of course, is probably why it's distribution wasn't limited to Beesource.

This is pretty accurate....



A shout-out is a greeting or acknowledgment of a person, group, or organization of significance. It is often done as a sign of respect, synonymous with "giving props".

The Oxford English Dictionary dates the term back to 1990, and notes that in the United States the term is particularly used among fans and performers of rap music (shout-outs are of particular significance in hip-hop culture), while in the United Kingdom it is particularly associated with the rave and club subculture. On either side of the Atlantic, the term is not limited to those groups. Contestants on game shows almost always are given an opportunity to "shout out" to friends and family watching the show on television at home, and other entertainment media that involve one-time appearances by regular people (such as talk shows) also occasionally allow shout-outs. An example of this is the CBS game show The Price Is Right. During the infamous 'spin the wheel' scenes for the selection of the contestants in the Showcase Showdown, the contestant gets an opportunity to "shout-out" to their friends or family while the wheel is spinning.
