It doesnt surprise me that this administration twists yet another event to either further themselves politically or to advance their liberal (progressive) agenda.  Its all about them.  I guess it will take another beating about the head and shoulders for anyone (regardless of party) to get the message.....they work for us.  Honoring a military hero should be about the person who was heroic, his/her actions and their families....NOT the weiners in Washington trying to get a photo op out of it

It's shameful, but I wonder if there isn't some protocol involved with seating active members of Congress versus citizens at ceremonies like these.

Not saying it's right, but there may actually be something else involved that we don't know about.

If there is protocol involved, then the protocol is wrong.  If there wasn't protocol involved, then the insult is beyond words.

Sorry guys but I am going to take this down.  I went and reviewed a video of the event and I dont believe the comments in the video that I posted reflect accurately the seating arrangements that were actually used. 

Medal of honor recipients were on the right side of the room followed by servicemen that appeared to be from the SSGTs unit.  I cant say for sure but it appeared that his wife, mother and father were center left in the front row accompanied by Secretary of the Dept of Defense and a couple others.  The left side of the room appeared to have the congressmen and women. 

As to the events following the medal ceremony the video ended before the hand shaking began so ...

Actually thats real good news.  If Obama and his chronies actually did it right, then I applaud them.  Things should not remain misrepresented if thats what happened

Well, the "sorry" part is that I posted BS.  Not sorry we cant beat up on Obama and company.  Hell, they give us plenty of ammo for that LOL

I too applaud the event after watching the raw video.  It was well done.
