Sen. Barbara A. Mikulski, the dean of Maryland's congressional delegation, will receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom next week, the White House said Monday.
The medal, the nation's highest civilian honor, will be awarded to Mikulski for her work on health research, women's issues, science funding and making higher education more affordable, the White House said. Mikulski is the top Democrat on the Senate Appropriations Committee, and is the longest-serving woman in Congress.
First elected to the Senate in 1986, Mikulski shook up the state's political establishment once again this year by announcing her retirement in 2017. That decision has set off one of the most competitive Democratic Senate primaries in the nation.

She’s a democrat with lady parts?
Why not? If 0bama can win the Nobel Peace Prize and a woman can win the men’s decathlon, we can all win unicorns.
Obama better use a very very short ribbon
North Korea gives lots of medals out to the undeserving General corps as well.
Same same for American liberals.
Because midget dyke.
She’s really getting a “Hero of The Soviet Union” award..
Vajayjay, nothing but vajayjay.
It’s very simple.
She is a Communist, she is a feminazi, she loves the Islamis radicals, she never saw a tax that she didn’t embrace, and she hates America. Since she an Obama agrees on every single point of political philosophy at in play in our country, she is a shoo in.
In other words, Barack sh!t!
Future SC Justice?
cause they couldn't find anybody more useless and undeserving to give it to???
Jeeze...we are just like the Soviet Union, giving awards and medals to party apparatchiks for being the biggest douche bag.

Yep, but this was just before they were ‘tried’, and ‘sentenced’.
Her rating at the American Conservative Union was a whopping 0%. That is not a typo — zero percent. When she was in office, she always voted the progressive party line — every time.

Considering Jesse Jackson and Bill Cosby are both Medal of Freedom winners I’d say it’s an award without a lot of luster.
Oops. I should have said, “Since she has been in office...” She is not yet retired. That event will happen in 2017 when she is 81 years young.
making higher education more affordable is her strong POINT ...hahahahaha All those college kids with astronomical Loans can Thank Sen Barby Mikulski....
The Presidential Medal of Freedom is now a joke, as is the Nobel Peace Prize.
