Bush signed the bill into law at the end of 2002 but it did take them a long time to find and review individual to get the honor. They had a big history search to do to substantiate stories and accounts, find people or family. They also had to be acute in who they honored so really 12 years is not bad looking over 75+ years of history. Point being the President whom ever it is at the time pins the awards on the solders or issues them to survivors.
So to say this is Obama's doing or to insinuate it is ludicrous.
